Promotional graphic for AlpCHI 2026 highlighting a conference paper session. The background shows a muted, wintry alpine landscape with two people walking across a snowy, flat terrain with rugged snow-covered mountains behind them. The AlpCHI 2026 mountain logo appears in the top right corner. White text reads: 'Papers #2 – Affective, Reflective, and Mental Health Experiences with Technology.' At the bottom, a call to action reads: 'Learn more on our website: alpchi.org/programme.'

🎉 We're proud to introduce the papers of our second paper session "Affective, Reflective, and Mental Health Experiences with Technology" at AlpCHI 2026!

Narrative-Bound Intelligence: A Structural Account of Human–AI Interaction via Symbolic Persona Coding Abstract Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have emphasized scalability, instruction-following, and behavioral alignment, yet these approaches remain limited in supporting sustained, mean...

New working paper: Narrative-Bound Intelligence proposes a structural alternative to instruction-centric AI, modeling human–AI interaction through narrative-bound constraints and Symbolic Persona Coding (SPC).

A brief structural note: many “AI resonance” claims rely on phenomenology rather than mechanism. The attached analysis contrasts narrative interpretation with latent-topology based diagnostics, highlighting why only the latter is operationally meaningful.

They Gave a Robot a Brain — and It Turned Into Robin Williams Scientists are teaching robots not just to think but to feel. When an AI began mirroring Robin Williams’s humor and empathy, it revealed a new frontier — emotional intelligence in machines.

When a robot learned to think, it didn’t become smarter — it became human. The story of how emotional AI is teaching machines empathy, humor, and heart.
