  • FDS Workshop: AI for Social Science Research Methods

    Social scientists are increasingly incorporating AI into their designs, data collection, analyses, and workflows. Alongside rapid adoption, important methodological questions remain: What are the principled approaches to validating measurements via AI tools? To what extent are AI-generated observations interchangeable with those from human respondents — and what does that mean for the future of survey…
