If you are shocked and horrified by this attack, like me, now is the time to tell your followers that you are one of the ~97% of Americans who unequivocally condemn political violence. Don't let the 3% speak for you: pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

New Article! Using text analysis and survey experiments, we show that although people talk about cancel culture in terms of democratic values, in-group vs. out-group partisan dynamics are what actually shift people's support for "canceling" different actors. @EthanBusby

🚨CAN GENERATIVE AI IMPROVE SOCIAL SCIENCE?🚨 I spent the last year trying to answer this question with the help of some very thoughtful reviewers (and editors) for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (ungated) : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Check out our new paper! Thanks to @sayashk for leading this amazing project.
Excited to share that our paper introducing the REFORMS checklist is now out @ScienceAdvances!
In it, we:
- review common errors in ML for science
- create a checklist of 32 items applicable across disciplines
- provide in-depth guidelines for each item

Science education is so vital. Check out the amazing work of "Science Journal for Kids" which recently covered our research on using AI chatbots: sciencejournalforkids.org/ar… Lots of other amazing content created by a small but mighty team. Please share or support them!

My new piece in @HarvardBiz describes our work using AI to perform conflict mediation on social media, and how it inspired a new intervention by NextDoor which resulted in a 15% decrease in toxic content! hbr.org/2024/03/genai-could-…

New article @PNASNews with @joshua_gubler , @lpargyle , @chris_bail , @davidwingate , @ma_tay_ , Vin Howe, and @ChrisRytting on how AI tools can improve democratic discourse. It's open access at this link: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2311627…
We explore how an AI chat assistant can act...
This paper benefited from comments and help from too many people to name @BYU_CSED , @BYUPoliticalSci , and lots of other conferences. Thanks to all of those who dramatically improved the paper
