Hope folks at #UIST26 got to see this cool talk by @sapkotashardul_ on why AI should understand our long-term goals and how we might shape that understanding. programs.sigchi.org/uist/2026/prog…
programs.sigchi.org User-Aware Agents - UIST '26 AI systems understand what we’re doing right now.
What if they could also understand what we’re working toward long term and why it matters to us?
We built Tempo to connect computer use to long-term goals, with inferences you can inspect and correct.

It is important for AI to understand our long-term goals and help us *achieve* these goals. Important work from a great PhD student I work with @sapkotashardul_. Supported by @StanfordHAI and @HPI_DE. Check it out!

Parker Ruth, a PhD student I advise @Stanford, devised an improved method to analyze heart signals. His Bayesian pulse deconvolution method helps extract accurate information from health device biosignals. Read about it in our npj Digital Medicine paper. hci.st/bayesianpd
From ImageNet for computer vision to HELM for LLMs, Stanford’s AI team has been at the forefront of open source evaluation of AI. @StanfordHAI, home to @StanfordAILab, supports researchers at the forefront of AI model benchmarking. It takes a village to shepherd great technology!
I propose Stanford NLP as an independent third-party evaluator under @DarioAmodei’s 3 step plan. For important parts of the work, universities would be better than any other organization (see below 🧵👇), and, of university groups, @stanfordnlp would be the best one to choose. 😊View quoted post on X
