Super thrilled to have this work be presented at @SPSPnews this week!

This large-scale cross-cultural study reveals interesting differences in user preferences, perceptions and impact of human-like behaviour in AI across the globe.

Joint work w/ @aidaa @blahtino @schimmelrob

Excited that @aidaa will present our paper at @SPSPnews meeting tomorrow in Chicago!

We studied 3,500 people across 10 countries on preferences, perceptions, and the impact of AI anthropomorphism!

Thanks to my brilliant coauthors @blahtino @aidaaand @vinodkpg. @GoogleResearch

Who'll be at @COLM_conf this week? Would be great to connect/reconnect over ☕️/🍻 to chat about research, or life, or both!

As a local San Franciscan, let me know if you need any local SF tips as well.

@c3_nlp We are back for the 4th year in a row with the Workshop on Cross-Cultural Considerations in NLP at #ACL2026NLP!

Our workshop brings a real interdisciplinary exchange, to figure out how to build models that don't just erase cultural differences.
