Welcome to the team, Aayush! Would you like to introduce yourself?
Hi! My name鈥檚 and I鈥檓 an AI student at Aalto University. I completed my bachelor鈥檚 here with a minor in Quantum Tech, and currently I鈥檓 focusing on the in my master鈥檚 and beyond.
I鈥檓 quite fascinated by the capabilities that AI systems have been consistently displaying these past few years, and am naturally drawn towards leveraging these capabilities to benefit all sentient beings and what it means for us to do so. At the same time, with great capabilities come great responsibilities. And understanding ways in things might go wrong and working towards solutions is my biggest priority.
What does online learning mean for you?
Actual learning is a very intimate and personal experience, and I鈥檓 deeply excited to play around with understanding what aspects make it better or worse, and why that is so. Plus, doing this 鈥渙nline鈥 and with 鈥淎Is鈥 only makes it more complex and fun.
What do you do in the Aalto Online Learning - Online Hybrid Lab team?
I鈥檓 a Master鈥檚 thesis worker and will be playing around with leveraging Language Models to enhance creative writing experiences.
Could you share, what your master鈥檚 thesis is about?
Creativity is an underrated aspect of current AIs like chatGPT and Bing Sydney, and my thesis will be about exploring this aspect of them in a creative co-writing environment with humans. I will also be exploring ways to make the AI鈥檚 reasoning more transparent and robust (using methods), and am curious to see how it changes the co-writing experience, if at all.
We wish Aayush all the best in his forthcoming discoveries and will keep you updated on the thesis outcomes.

Scientific conclusions depend on who performs the analysis
More than 450 independent researchers from around the world conducted over 500 re-analyses of datasets from one hundred previously published studies in the social and behavioural sciences. All analysts received the same data and the same central research question, but they were free to carry out the analysis based on their own expert judgment.
