When does bias in AI become discrimination, and how does it reinforce existing human biases and social inequities?
I’m excited to start my PhD in Cognitive and Psychological Sciences at Nagoya University as a fellow and scholar this fall semester and examine these questions through my doctoral research! 名古屋大学でしんりにんちかがくせんこうのはくしかてい（心理・認知科学専攻の博士後期課程)を十月からはじめます。AIバイアスをけんきゅうします。
Building on my prior work (Bilon, 2025, 2026) and theories in social psychology, I aim to understand how sociodemographic biases embedded in AI systems manifest as discriminatory behaviours and how they affect human biases. Through this work, I hope to contribute to the emerging field of Artificial Psychology, which applies psychological knowledge to the study of AI systems and human-AI interactions.
In my PhD project, I will focus on three key dimensions—gender and sexuality, health, and linguistic and national background—within gateway contexts that shape access to opportunities and resources, contributing to broader efforts toward addressing social inequities in our contemporary digital societies.
