Dr. Jillian Fisher
Dr. Jillian Fisher is an AI safety and statistics researcher who earned her Ph.D. in Statistics and Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington. Co-advised by prominent AI researcher Yejin Choi, her work focuses on artificial intelligence alignment, controllable text generation, and the societal impacts of large language models. Her notable research includes high-profile studies demonstrating how politically biased AI chatbots can quickly sway human opinions and political decisions, regardless of a person's initial political stance. To address these risks, she develops post-training methods that improve AI steerability and studies how public education on AI can help people resist algorithmic manipulation.
The Power of Bias in AI Presentation features Dr. Fisher discussing her research on how partisan AI models influence human decision-making and how we can mitigate those effects.
