Shir Raviv

I am a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Political Science, Government, and International Affairs at Tel Aviv University, and a Non-Resident Fellow at Yale University’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Columbia University’s Data Science Institute.​

My research explores the political implications of rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and the challenges of governing this technology in a manner that reflects public values and upholds democratic accountability.

​

I am currently writing a book on the sources of public concerns and hopes regarding the use of AI-based algorithmic decision-making systems in policy implementation. This project builds on my doctoral dissertation, which received the 2025 Harold D. Lasswell Award for the best dissertation in the field of public policy.

​​​​

My broad research interests include political behavior, survey design, and experimental methods. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the Journal of Politics, British Journal of Politics and Political Science Research and Methods.
