Haoning Xue studies how AI can support healthier and more equitable information environments through conversational AI for health information integrity and decision-making. Her work examines how people use conversational AI to seek health information and identifies disparities in effective AI use. She develops value-aligned conversational systems that encourage health behaviors, such as promoting colonoscopy among women and healthy lifestyles among rural residents. She also investigates how people recognize AI-generated videos and designs literacy interventions that help individuals evaluate online content. “My human-centered AI research aims to strengthen users’ digital health literacy and wellbeing and supports One-U RAI’s commitment to ethical and socially grounded AI,” Xue said. As a fellow, she’ll continue her experiments on human-AI interaction and develop her existing curriculum on AI communication.
