Our researchers gathered Univ. of Maryland this week for an annual review & planning summit with representatives U.S. National Science Foundation & National Institute of Standards and Technology. Researchers TRAILS study what trustworthy AI looks like, technical solutions that build trust, and policy models that are effective in sustaining trust.

Valerie Reyna & Eugenia Rho studied banned subreddits to see how social media gists (cause-effect beliefs) influenced COVID-19 rates. Their research shows how AI can analyze online discourse to improve public health communication. #AI #FuzzyTrace scientificamerican.com/article/ai-too…

Valerie Reyna is part of a team developing an AI tool to connect online rhetoric and real-world behavior. Their study revealed how specific language phrasing and misinformation on Reddit can predict when users will reject COVID vaccines.
