I’m delighted to announce that after nearly 6 months of work, I’ve completed work on the pre-publication version of my master’s thesis project!

The full paper, entitled “Corrosive AI: Emerging Effects of the Use of Generative AI on Political Trust” is available for download using the link below. I’d like to thank all the experts who agreed to sit down for interviews with me. This project would not have been possible without your time and insight. I’d also like to thank my father, R. David Lankes, for always answering the phone when I call for advice at odd hours.

While I’m excited to share my findings in this paper, this is not the end of the Corrosive AI project! In the coming months, my goal is to conduct additional interviews, and to prepare the paper for potential publication.  In the meantime, I’ll be making edits based upon feedback from friends and colleagues.

If you feel that you can contribute to this project, or would like to collaborate on related research, I’m always available to chat! The best way to reach me is by email or using this contact form.
