UBC OVI Lab, in collaboration with Autonomic Technologies, is recruiting research students for a project investigating human-in-the-loop validation of AI-generated recommendations for student cognitive performance and well-being.
Students will work with Autonomic’s AI platform to review recommendations, identify inconsistencies and edge cases, analyze human-AI decision-making, and contribute to the development and evaluation of validation workflows, dashboards, and visualization tools.
The project provides hands-on research experience at the intersection of AI, HCI, behavioral science, neuroscience, and educational technology, with joint mentorship from UBC researchers and the Autonomic team.
