Can AI Spot Problems with Apps’ User Interface Design Better than Users?
Two researchers at LSU set out to answer this question: If you hand AI the raw code behind an app’s home screen, can it tell you what’s broken in the user interface design before a single user ever taps a button? The answer is (mostly) yes.

Vadrevu Wins NSF CAREER Award to Turn Scammers' Games Against Them
The interaction seems routine: a friendly phone or video call or text or chat message from your bank, your computer "support team," or a long-lost match from a dating app. What follows is a slow, patient exchange engineered to separate you from your money. These scams are called interactive social engineering attacks. Instead of breaking into computer networks, scammers trick people into giving away confidential financial information like passwords or credit card numbers. The attacks run in real time, in two-way exchanges, and drain billions of dollars from victims every year. They’re maddeningly hard to track, study, and prevent because they unfold in private over phone or computer, one target at a time.
