Welcome to the chair of Computational Social Science!
We are an interdisciplinary group data of science researchers and study the societal impact of digital platforms and AI.
Using experiments, machine learning prototypes, and data science methods, we explore how large language technologies or news on social media affect interpersonal trust, people’s beliefs, and cultural values. In the experiment shown above, we test how an opinionated AI writing assistant influences users’ views. By diagnosing emerging problems and working towards early solutions, we contribute to a safer and more democratic information ecosystem. For more information, visit: www.jakesch-lab.org
