Bias and Methods of AI Technology Studying Political Behavior
About the project
The aim of the project is to develop better methods to study the political moulding of public opinion in various media. As political messages and debates have become increasingly common in social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, there is an increased need to be able to study these texts and images from a research perspective. By using methods from the fields of computer science and social sciences, we have a greater possibility of gaining a deeper understanding of these political messages and how it affects behaviors.
In the project, the researchers will be using methods from artificial intelligence and computer science to improve and develop new quantitative text analysis methods for the social sciences. The study also contributes to computer science by applying artificial intelligence technology in an area of concern to us all: politics and human interaction.
