AI Updates for Behavioral Scientists

Written by Jon Schaefer, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University.

A short weekly email on things happening in the world of AI that are of potential interest to people doing behavioral research: new tools worth your time, journal and funder policy updates, studies of AI at work and in the research pipeline, and the occasional cautionary tale. Links included, readable in five minutes.

This originally grew out of the “updates from the world of AI” section of a Summer 2026 AI didactics series at Vanderbilt. Enough colleagues asked me to keep it going that I decided to turn it into this newsletter.
