@patebel.bsky.social, Michal Patryk Miazga and Hannah Bussmann and their colleague @oulasvirta.bsky.social developed Log2Motion, an AI model that translates smartphone usage data into simulated human motion, thereby assisting designers in the creation of user-friendly interfaces.
Probably the Android feature I’m missing most
📢 Looking for current research on #HCI + #AI? Here's a categorised collection of 300+ #CHI2026 preprints, collected via arXiv:
dbuschek.medium.com/chi26-prepri...
Excited that “GTA: Generative Traffic Agents for Simulating Realistic Mobility Behavior” has been conditionally accepted at #CHI2026 🎉
We generate artificial populations from census data, integrate a traffic simulator and evaluate the approach against empirical data.
arxiv.org/abs/2601.16778
Both #CHI2026 papers that went to R&R are in 🥳
Curse officially broken.
More details on the papers soon!

When discussing how to identify LLM-generated or -tuned text in research papers, the most obvious indicator is that every abbreviation is introduced 7 to 12 times
Congrats!
AutomotiveUI 2025 Proceedings are out!
The conference proceedings are now available for download:
👉 auto-ui.org/25/proceedings
Final versions will be published soon in the ACM Digital Library!

Evidence no. 4657916 that the review process is broken:
“Altman has said it’s better to talk about levels of progress toward this state of general intelligence rather than asking if something is AGI or not.”
2022: AGI in a year
2023: AGI in a year
2024: AGI in a year
2025: stop asking about AGI!

ScaDS.AI on Tour in Leipzig! 🌞🏐
This year, we explored Lake Kulkwitz—enjoying volleyball, great talks, and beautiful weather while strengthening team bonds. Looking forward to more lakes ahead! 🚣
Today I gave a talk at @tue.nl and presented my vision of how to use computational models of human behavior as interactive crash test dummies. I argue that only by using simulation we can develop technology that truly meets human needs.
Thanks to @bazilinskyy.bsky.social for hosting me this week!
So here we are... I'm sorry for the colleagues affected. We can't let these twisted arguments proliferate any longer and finally get coordinated as a field.
Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled.
Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges.
Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading.

On my way back from the Human Modeling and Cooperative Agents Retreat in snowy Austria, bringing back a bag full of ideas and promising collaborations. Many thanks to @philwintersberg.bsky.social for organizing and to @oulasvirta.bsky.social and all participants for the engaging discussions.
Together! #b0202
Yeah also realized this. Not surprised though
Deleting Twitter
Our response to the far-right attacks on our democracy, rights, planet and liberties: Hope and resistance. As they plan to drown us in darkness, 100k people on the streets of Berlin turned on the lights yesterday.
Just deleted my Twitter account. Felt good.
More than 100.000 people in Germany 🇩🇪 in the streets today, like here in Berlin, protesting the rise of far right politics, like the AfD nazi party promoted by Elon Musk.
