Prof. Karrie Karahalios

At the Media Lab, Professor Karahalios will expand on her current research into the impact of human agency and community when using AI systems. This will include designing "contestable systems" where people can participate in human-AI dialogue with a system and with governing bodies (such as City Councils) in the context of city governance. In addition, she will work towards reconciling computer science, AI, and the law. She will also investigate improvements in online governance through establishing rule alignment between governing bodies (like platform moderators) and the general public.
