Congratulations to Professor Semra Sevi whose project Repetition, resistance, and reinforcement: longitudinal effects of conversational AI on political attitudes (with Can Mekik, University of Toronto, Department of Psychology) is among CIFAR’s (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research) second cohort of AI Safety Catalyst Projects as part of the Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI) Research Program at CIFAR. These initiatives aim to generate innovative sociotechnical research that addresses the most pressing challenges in AI safety, accountability, and ethical deployment.
The AI Safety Catalyst Projects are funded by the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) through the federally-led Canadian AI Safety Institute. The CAISI Research Program at CIFAR serves as the independent scientific research engine for the federally led CAISI.
A full description of Professor Sevi's latest project is available on the CIFAR website.
