Olivia Guest
Associate professor of computational cognitive science
Associate professor at Radboud University working on computational modeling in cognitive science. Co-author of papers arguing that large language models are not models of human cognition and that using them as such misleads both fields; writes about the reproducibility and integrity problems that AI tools create for science.
