SRI Seminar Series: Anastasia Kuzminykh, University of Toronto – Oct 1, 2025
Session Description
October 1, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
***Talk title and abstract to be announced***
The weekly SRI Seminar Series welcomes Anastasia Kuzminykh, assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information and a faculty affiliate at the Schwartz Reisman Institute. With a background spanning computer science, psychology, and ethnographic research, Kuzminykh’s work bridges human-computer interaction and the design of intelligent systems.
Her current research focuses on how people interact with AI systems through conversation—exploring trust, reliability, and user perception in human–agent communication. Through The COoKIE Group, Kuzminykh studies how design decisions shape ethical and effective human–AI collaboration, especially in contexts involving large language models, generative tools, and decision-support systems.
Moderator: Avery Slater, Department of English & Drama
