Start Generating: Harnessing Generative Artificial Intelligence for Sociological Research
Register Here
Join our May Lunch & Learn session with Thomas Davidson, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers University.聽 Professor Davidson will speak on the development of Generative Artificial Intelligence(GAI), for example how ChatGPT has raised significant public debate. He will particularly focus on the applications of the technologies as methods for sociological inquiry and examine potential applications in three different areas including computational, experimental and qualitative research. Our event will delve into the implications of GAL for bias and bias mitigation efforts, shedding light on the potential risks and opportunities that arise in the pursuit of fair and equitable AI systems. Some of Professor Davidson鈥檚 current research examines how digital trace data from social media and other websites combined with statistical analysis and computational methods, including natural language processing and machine learning.
