AI and Experimental Methods*
*New course running in Methods School 2025!
This five-day intensive course provides social science researchers with a comprehensive introduction to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in experimental research. Through hands-on exercises, ethical discussions, and real-world applications, participants will explore how AI can aid in the design, implementation, and analysis of social science experiments. Topics include using AI to generate experimental stimuli, automate coding and analysis, enhance randomization techniques, and improve survey and conjoint experiments. The course emphasizes practical takeaways, equipping participants with actionable skills to integrate AI into experimental research while ensuring methodological rigor, transparency, and ethical responsibility. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to critically and effectively incorporate AI into their experimental workflows.
