AI is changing what we write, think, and like. Even people who do not use AI navigate an information environment shaped by it. Whether these changes help or hurt depends on how we design and use AI.
My research group, AI & Me, designs AI systems and interventions and studies their effects through interviews, randomized experiments, and analyses of interaction traces to address questions at the intersection of technology and human values. I collaborate with researchers in computer science, humanities, social sciences, and beyond.
