My lab studies some of the most pressing questions at the intersection of technology and democracy, including how AI systems shape what citizens know, how misinformation spreads online, and how new measurement tools can improve social science itself.

This work has been generously supported by the National Science Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, and the Democracy Fund. Private philanthropy plays an increasingly important role in making independent, public-interest research possible, and gifts of any size help support the students and infrastructure behind the lab’s work.

If you are interested in financially supporting this research, I would love to hear from you. Please email me directly at jacob.montgomery@wustl.edu.
