Hello! I’m Ziv Epstein and I’m a graduate student in the Media Lab. My work integrates aspects of design and computational social science to model and understand cooperative systems. I focus on new challenges and opportunities that emerge from a digital society, particularly in the domains of artificial intelligence and social media.
In particular, I believe that humans and machines are locked in a feedback loop of interaction on the web. Algorithmic decision-making affects human behavior, and in turn human behavior affects algorithmic decision-making. I am interested in exploring this interplay, especially in applied forms such as curbing algorithmic bias, reducing the proliferation of misinformation, and exploring new forms of social mediation.
Here are links to some projects and concepts I have been thinking about:
