The SocialAI lab seeks to illuminate the cognitive processes that underlie social judgments and behavior. Specifically, the lab investigates how people navigate fundamental aspects of cooperation and competition within social groups, learning environments, and the development of roles within groups. The aim is to successfully predict others' behaviors while navigating the tensions that can undermine social function and stability. The lab utilizes deep neural networks and computational models that integrate artificial intelligence with cutting-edge, multi-level approaches from neuroscience, psychology, sociology, history, and cultural anthropology.
