Our mission is to explore how human perception, culture, and emotion influence the way people trust and adopt AI technologies. We conduct interviews, distribute questionnaires, publish insights, and aim to help align AI systems with human understanding.

I am now trying to gain research experience after recently graduating with a BSc in Psychology from UWI.
