MM-SCALE: Grounded Multimodal Moral Reasoning via Scalar Judgment and Listwise Alignment
Eunkyu Park, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Cheyon Jin +8
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) continue to struggle to make morally salient judgments in multimodal and socially ambiguous contexts. Prior works typically rely on binary or pairwise…
Beyond Explainable AI (XAI): An Overdue Paradigm Shift and Post-XAI Research Directions
Saleh Afroogh, Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed, Petra Ahrweiler +46
This study provides a cross-disciplinary examination of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) approaches-focusing on deep neural networks (DNNs) and large language models (LLMs…
Seeing Twice: How Side-by-Side T2I Comparison Changes Auditing Strategies
Matheus Kunzler Maldaner, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Jason I. Hong +2
While generative AI systems have gained popularity in diverse applications, their potential to produce harmful outputs limits their trustworthiness and utility. A small but growing…
Critical or Compliant? The Double-Edged Sword of Reasoning in Chain-of-Thought Explanations
Eunkyu Park, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Vasudha Varadarajan +4
Explanations are often promoted as tools for transparency, but they can also foster confirmation bias; users may assume reasoning is correct whenever outputs appear acceptable. We…
PersonaTeaming: Exploring How Introducing Personas Can Improve Automated AI Red-Teaming
Wesley Hanwen Deng, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Akshita Jha +4
Recent developments in AI governance and safety research have called for red-teaming methods that can effectively surface potential risks posed by AI models. Many of these calls ha…
Vipera: Blending Visual and LLM-Driven Guidance for Systematic Auditing of Text-to-Image Generative AI
Yanwei Huang, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Sijia Xiao +4
Despite their increasing capabilities, text-to-image generative AI systems are known to produce biased, offensive, and otherwise problematic outputs. While recent advancements have…
"I Don't Think RAI Applies to My Model'' -- Engaging Non-champions with Sticky Stories for Responsible AI Work
Nadia Nahar, Chenyang Yang, Yanxin Chen +4
Responsible AI (RAI) tools -- checklists, templates, and governance processes -- often engage RAI champions, individuals intrinsically motivated to advocate ethical practices, but…
Cognitive Chain-of-Thought (CoCoT): Structured Multimodal Reasoning about Social Situations
Eunkyu Park, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Gunhee Kim +2
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting helps models think step by step. But naive CoT breaks down in visually grounded social tasks, where models must perceive, understand, and judge all…
