Kempner Seminar: Building Proactive Agents That Augment Human Work (Diyi Yang)
About this event
Stanford's Diyi Yang presents research on AI agents that augment workers, including an audit of automation versus augmentation, a study of about 250,000 real AI conversations, and models that predict a user's next action.
A Kempner Institute Seminar Series talk on Friday, January 15, 2027, 2:30 to 4:00 PM in Room LL2.229 of the Harvard Science and Engineering Complex, 150 Western Avenue, Allston. Diyi Yang (Stanford) covers how agents can support people by first understanding them: what tasks workers bring to AI, how much control they keep and where collaboration breaks down, plus General User Models and Next Action Prediction learned from multimodal computer-use data. The series is a research-level seminar open to the public and the page lists no registration step. Questions go to [email protected].
