About

Hunter Priniski is a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA, where he received a PhD in Computational Cognition from the Department of Psychology in 2024. His current research focuses on how multi-agent human-AI systems can reach creative forms of consensus, and addresses current gaps in how human-AI alignment frameworks scale to multi-agent systems. This research extends his decade-long interest in how emerging technologies, including online networks, interactive media, and AI, impact people’s narrative agency: a person’s ability to learn, communicate, and shape the narratives centering their lives and communities. His research has been published in 20+ high impact journals and academic conferences, and has been presented to research labs, AI industry leaders, and startups spanning the United States and Europe. Trained as an experimental psychologist with deep commitments to open-source software development and creative placemaking, Dr. Priniski actively applies research findings from the laboratory to real-world contexts, from fostering resilience through artistic narrative collaborations in rural communities, to conducting live experiments on large ticketed audiences in urban centers. He will continue helping more people equip themselves with the knowledge and skills to thrive in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.
