We study how AI systems shape communication, judgment, and trust, using controlled experiments, audits, and user studies with more than 20,000 participants to date. Our work has appeared in venues such as PNAS, Science Advances, CHI, CSCW, and FAccT, and is cited in policy reports including the UK government’s International AI Safety Report and the UNDP Human Development Report.
