C4 | Computational Social Sciences

The landscape for empirical social scientists has transformed with the rise of computational social science. Our researchers focus on aligning research goals with available digital trace data, evaluating data quality in relation to research objectives, and ensuring reproducibility through thorough documentation. They emphasize the critical need to assess and evaluate data feeding into AI systems to prevent biases, unfair operations, and the exacerbation of social inequalities.
