It's so refreshing to see their mission and it deeply resonates with how I view the role of technology in society :) Here’s hoping they can truly help turn things around and build AI that supports us and brings us closer ❤️

Today we introduce humans&, a human-centric frontier AI lab. We believe AI can be reimagined, centering around people and their relationships with each other. At its best, AI should serve as a deeper connective tissue that strengthens organizations and communities

Thanks! We hope CAIRe helps researchers and developers better understand how AI systems represent cultures worldwide, and where they fall short. This work was done with some very talented researchers @arnav_y1, Siddharth Yayavaram, @m2saxon, @gneubig. Kudos especially to Siddharth and Arnav for taking the lead on implementing most things so cleanly and well! Happy to collaborate or answer questions! 🌍✨ (fin)

Final Contribution: New Test Set! We also introduce a new test set that follows our task definition -- multiple culture labels per image, each with its own score. Past datasets forced a single country label to an image, losing the richness of cultural relevance. The datasets can be found here: huggingface.co/datasets/cmu-l…; huggingface.co/datasets/cmu-l… (9/n)

Excited to share CAIRe🧡 our new framework for evaluating the cultural relevance of images! T2I systems often overrepresent majority cultures and overlook many users worldwide. CAIRe provides graded (1-5), transparent (with wiki links) relevance scores independently for each user-defined culture label (eg: upper Manhattan, downtown Manhattan), instead of forcing an image into a single country label. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.09109 Code: github.com/siddharthyayav… Test Set: huggingface.co/datasets/cmu-l…; huggingface.co/datasets/cmu-l… 🧵below(1/n)
