Welcome
I am a human-machine communication scholar studying artificial intelligence, virtual assistants, and automated-writing technologies.
Most communication and media researchers study how people interact with one another. In contrast, I focus on how people make sense of and communicate with devices designed to talk back.
I'm interested in what you think about Amazon’s Alexa, the crazy things you’ve said to Siri, and how you are using chatGPT in your personal or professional life. I also study the automation of journalism, including the increasing use of software to write news and information for humans. What I find critical in an era of AI is examining the larger social and cultural implications of applications and devices designed to step into the role of communicator.
