• Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly used across domains to provide personalized information, recommendations, and decision support. However, in some contexts, AI-generated information may not be suitable for direct delivery to the final recipient. Instead, it may need to be interpreted, adapted, and communicated by a human who understands the recipient's needs, emotional state, and situational context. Human-AI interaction research has given less attention to situations in which a more knowledgeable human acts as an intermediary between an AI system and a less experienced or less informed recipient. We introduce the human-mediated AI guidance framework and explore it through Ready Together, an AI-supported family emergency preparedness system in which parents mediate AI-generated content for their children. The system is designed to provide personalized guidance and support parents in making emergency preparedness more interactive and understandable through guided activities and family-centered learning. The system design was informed by a qualitative, design-oriented research process involving semi-structured interviews and co-design activities. Findings identified challenges in family emergency preparedness, including difficulty discussing emergencies with children, uncertainty about providing appropriate explanations, and a preference for interactive learning activities. These findings informed the design of an interactive prototype, subsequently evaluated through a pilot study and a heuristic evaluation. Participants responded positively to the personalized recommendations and practical activities. Preliminary findings suggest that human-mediated AI guidance may support context-sensitive family preparedness while preserving parents' responsibility for interpreting, adapting, and communicating AI-generated information.

  This paper focuses on the opportunities and the ethical and societal risks posed by advanced AI assistants. We define advanced AI assistants as artificial agents with natural language interfaces, whose function is to plan and execute sequences of actions on behalf of a user. We consider the deployment of advanced assistants at a societal scale, focusing on cooperation, equity and access, misinformation, economic impact, the environment and how best to evaluate advanced AI assistants.

  AI-based storytelling and reading technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in preschoolers' lives. This paper investigates how they function in practical storytelling and reading scenarios and, how parents, the most critical stakeholders, experience and perceive them. Our findings suggest that even though AI-based storytelling and reading technologies provide more immersive and engaging interaction, they still cannot meet parents' expectations due to a series of interactive and algorithmic challenges.

  We introduce a process-oriented notion of appropriate reliance called critical use that centers the human's ability to situate AI predictions against knowledge that is uniquely available to them but unavailable to the AI model. We conduct a randomized online experiment in a complex social decision-making setting: child maltreatment screening. We find that, by providing participants with accelerated, low-stakes opportunities to practice AI-assisted decision-making, novices came to exhibit patterns of disagreement with AI that resemble those of experienced workers.
