I am a social scientist and a media and communication researcher who uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine how AI, social media, algorithms, and other technologies affect society. My research, writing, and public service are twofold:
​
1) AI adoption, use, and effects at the individual level, social media, and online privacy, and 2) AI in digital journalism, and the implications of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Relying on survey, experimental, and computational methods, my research program aims to understand and clarify some of today’s most critical challenges facing democracies.
