I examine how AI assistance creates ripple effects beyond individual users. My research investigates the interpersonal and institutional consequences when AI-assisted outputs flow to colleagues, patients, and decision-makers—identifying intervention points for safer, more beneficial AI deployment. I bridge cognitive science, social science, and AI research to build systems that augment entire human networks, not just individual capabilities.
