The image is titled Workshop on Algorithmic Collective Action. On the left are speakers, Tijana Zrnic, Incoming Assistant Professor, Stanford University, Seda Gürses, Associate Professor, TU Delft, lorian Tramèr, Assistant Professor, ETH Zürich, Alex Hanna, Director of Research, Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR), Joanna Redden, Associate Professor, Western University, and Saiph Savage, Assistant Professor, Northeastern University.
The abstract reads:
The study of “collective action” has a long history in Economics and Sociology as a way for groups of people to impact markets and the political arena (Olson 1965; Marwell and Oliver 1993). Algorithmic Collective Action (ACA) is the study of such coordination strategies in algorithmically-mediated sociotechnical systems. Our workshop offers a platform to discuss new ideas and help define the foundational research directions for the emerging topic through interdisciplinary discussions between ML researchers, scholars from the social sciences, community stakeholders and advocates.
We are organizing a workshop on Algorithmic Collective Action at NeurIPS this year. As AI continues to concentrate power, we will meet in San Diego (Dec 6 or 7) for critical conversations on user coordination, labor, data protection, and community advocacy.
Submissions due August 22.

Image of the first page of the CHI 2025 paper titled "A Taxonomy of Linguistic Expressions That Contribute To Anthropomorphism of Language Technologies" by authors Alicia DeVrio, Myra Cheng, Lisa Egede, Alexandra Olteanu, & Su Lin Blodgett
How can we better think and talk about human-like qualities attributed to language technologies like LLMs? In our #CHI2025 paper, we taxonomize how text outputs from cases of user interactions with language technologies can contribute to anthropomorphism. arxiv.org/abs/2502.09870 1/n
