I wanted to share a bunch of ideas the human-centered and trustworthy AI teams at IBM Research labs worldwide have been simmering and are now externalizing. I encourage topics that might not be hyped, but are nevertheless important and ones that researchers believe in. /1

(1/n) [A🧵on AI-text detector] With the increasing capability of large language models to generate human-like content, detecting AI-generated text becomes critical for the responsible use of LLMs, especially for addressing AI misuse (e.g. fake news & AI plagiarism) @IBMResearch

Had a wonderful few months interning at @IBMResearch Africa in Nairobi 🇰🇪, mentored by @PhonesDrones, @RTFMCelia and the rest of the AI team. Blessed to finish my time here celebrating a remarkable 10 years of IBM Research Africa last week!
