Reza H. Mogavi. Ph.D.
Dr. Reza H. Mogavi is a CIFAR AI Safety Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto, affiliated with the Department of Psychology's Work and Play Lab and Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society.
He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and has held research and teaching roles at several research-intensive Canadian universities, including the University of Waterloo, McMaster University, and the University of Toronto.
Dr. Mogavi's current work is driven by some of the most pressing and fundamental questions in human-centered AI and human-AI Interaction:
🧠 What is intelligence, and how should we think about machine intelligence in relation to human intelligence?
🧠 How can people calibrate their trust in AI systems that often appear fluent, confident, and socially intelligent?
🧠 What risks, challenges, and forms of dependency emerge as AI becomes more deeply woven into everyday life?
🧠 And perhaps most importantly, what would it actually mean to build responsible AI, and is that still possible in the world we are entering?
