Eddie Yang

PhD Candidate, Political Science

University of California, San Diego


Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in political science at UC San Diego. I study the authoritarian politics of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

My dissertation examines:
1) how authoritarian institutions, such as censorship and propaganda, induce bias in AI
2) the political implications of such bias

In other work, I study algorithmic fairness and the politics of science and technology. My work is motivated by normative concerns about freedom and justice.

I received my MA from the University of Chicago and BA from UCLA. I am currently a GPEP Fellow at Georgetown University. I was an intern at Microsoft Research and a CDDRL/HAI Fellow at Stanford University.
