Crucial to any behavioral data science project is identifying either (a) what behavior you want to analyze and how you'll get the data; or (b) what data you can get and what behaviors those data allow you to analyze well. In this episode, we chat about these decisions in the context of the literally wild behavior of birds at backyard feeders. For the interested, here's a link to the backyard ecology dashboard referenced during the episode: https://david-j-cox.github.io/backyard-ecology/

LLMs are one type of generative artificial intelligence (AI) which is one type of AI/machine learning which is one type of approach to computational modeling. In this episode Jake and David talk about the ethics of computational modeling, generally, and how behavior scientists might incorporate these ideas as they begin to build models specific to their everyday work settings.
In this episode, Jake and David discuss the Stanford AI Index Report (https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index) with an eye toward the intersection of ethics, AI, and behavior science.
The term "bias" means different things to people coming from different scientific backgrounds. In this episode, Jake and David discuss those different definitions of bias, how those definitions impact the conversation around bias in AI, and recommendations for mitigating "bias" in AI systems, regardless of the point of view from which you come.
In this episode, Jake and David discuss the unique ethical concerns raised by LLMs, generative AI, agentic systems, and multi-modal AI.
In this episode, Jake and David discuss the ever-present possibility of bias in AI systems, and the resulting work and implications that has to mitigate AI bias when using LLM-driven products.
