Adam Visokay

Adam is a PhD student in the Department of Sociology where they explore how to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to study social phenomena, typically motivated by questions in public health, economics, and sociology. They are particularly interested in how to perform valid statistical inference using predictions from black box algorithms and how to effectively use AI/ML methods in a way that is both transparent and socially grounded. At the Center for Human Rights, Adam works on the Puyallup Tribal Historic Preservation Department Family Data Reclamation Project.
