Summary
Generative artificial intelligence (GAI), a set of technologies capable of producing images or text in response to human input, are profoundly shaping developments inside and outside of academia. This project investigates whether GAI can help to improve social science research using experimental methods by recovering existing findings and helping to design robust and reliable new experiments.
