Awardee: Ben Ho
Semester of Award: 2022-2023
Materials Awarded: Funds to cover API fees for LLM usage (e.g. GPT, Claude, Gemini)
Project Description:
LLMs like GPT are changing research, but using them for research requires consistency and replicability and repeatability that is difficult to achieve in the chat interface. These funds were used for API fees that enabled the work of seven students working on my behavioral economics research projects. The students used python libraries like expected parrot to create repeatable and replicable code to automate AI tasks that were central to my research projects studying topics like the ability to detect fake news and how we perceive deceptions.
