Collective behavior and action: democracy, decision making, cultural and social dynamics

Studying democracy, decision making, and cultural and social dynamics.

Understanding how groups form opinions, make decisions, and engage in democratic processes is a central focus of the C2S2. The Center studies how collective behavior and action emerge from interactions among individuals, particularly in contexts such as political participation, cultural evolution, and online communities. By using generative AI and deep learning models, as well as complex systems, network analysis, agent-based modeling, and behavioral data, the Center examines the mechanisms that drive consensus, polarization, cooperation, and the spread of information in society, with a particular focus on the increasing role of generative AI in shaping these processes.
