Ziang Xiao studies how people interact with AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs) and conversational agents, focusing on issues like trust, oversight, personality simulation, privacy, and evaluation methods. This work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and natural language processing, examining both the design of AI tools (e.g., chatbots, coding assistants, computer-use agents) and how to responsibly test and audit them using human subjects or simulated data.
