Associate Professor of Political Science · BYU

AI for society.
And for democracy.

I’m Ethan Busby. I study how we can use AI to improve society generally—and democracy specifically.

My work asks how AI can help people engage with one another, navigate disagreement, and build a healthier democratic society. I also use AI to study political influence and human behavior.

I helped found and now help direct SAIL, our AI research lab at BYU.
