Social Information Technologies for a Better World

The Social Intelligence Lab at Bar-Ilan University is dedicated to leading edge research on social uses of information and communication technologies, the underlying nature of socially generated data, and algorithms that use both social data and network effects to improve society.  Our work is both theoretical and applied, qualitative and quantitative, seeking to translate new understanding of the nature of technology-based social interactions into system designs and applications. Established by Prof. David Schwartz of the Graduate School of Business Administration, SOCINTLAB currently houses research projects focused on digital therapeutics, medical informatics, information security in social networks, human-in-the-loop AI, and how social networks and media change critical interactions of individuals, organizations, and societies.
