Research Interests:
AI & psychology; language comprehension; psycholinguistics; large language models (LLMs); social cognition; theory of mind; manipulation, persuasion, and deception; interactive dialogue; human-AI interaction
Current Research:
I’m interested in the intersection of psychology and AI in three different ways:
- Using the tools of psychology to understand the similarities and differences between humans and AI systems.
- Using AI systems to understand how people interact with these systems and with each other in real-time.
- Understanding the impact that AI systems will have on our psychology in the longer-term.
