We will explores behavioral clones as tools for understanding humans, shaping machine behavior, and powering large-scale social simulation. And discuss the challenges of measuring alignment with human behavior and cognition.

Machine+Behavior Conference Welcome to the forefront of behavioral science in the digital age.

Machine+Behavior Conference Welcome to the forefront of behavioral science in the digital age.

Submit your 250 words abstract by 4 February 2026 (AOE): machinebehavior.science/behavioral-c...

Organized with @dirkwulff.bsky.social

The workshop focuses on machines trained to replicate human behavior, as scientific models of human cognition and action, as tools for large-scale behavioral simulation, and as objects of study in their own right. We invite talks, lightning talks, and posters.

WORKSHOP ON BEHAVIORAL CLONES
Imitating humans is a powerful route to machine behavior, an emerging lens on human cognition, and a prerequisite for social simulation.

🗓 Fri 20 May 26
Following Machine+Behavior @ Max Planck Berlin

ChatGPT Is Changing the Words We Use in Conversation Words frequently used by ChatGPT, including “delve” and “meticulous,” are getting more common in spoken language, according to an analysis of more than 700,000 hours of videos and podcasts

Great coverage by @sciam.bsky.social of our research on how ChatGPT is influencing the words we use in conversation!

Empirical evidence of Large Language Model’s influence
on human spoken communication

You sound like ChatGPT AI isn’t just impacting how we write — it’s changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more to come.

You sound like ChatGPT -- that is what The Verge said about our recent preprint on how ChatGPT is reshaping human spoken communication.

Chatbots are becoming a cultural medium and agent of cultural homogenisation. Is this inevitable, or can model diversity help? www.theverge.com/openai/68674...

How does #genAI affect creative professions? Does domain training also provide an #AI edge?
In "Expertise elevates AI usage: experimental evidence comparing laypeople and professional artists"
we ran controlled tasks w 50 artists + laypeople & a #GPT4o agent: arxiv.org/abs/2501.12374
