Chris Bail is the director of the Society-Centered AI Initiative and co-director of the Polarization Lab at Duke University. His research centers around the impact of artificial intelligence on human behavior, with a specific focus on social media. His current work aims to create frameworks to effectively use large-language models within computational social science research.
Bail’s work in human-AI interaction has influenced a variety of changes in the social sphere, from influencing new policies to combat polarization and misinformation on Twitter to inspiring new products for AI-assisted conflict media on NextDoor.
