Yeah, our impression was that a) there is a large body of literature that is relevant and related in the existing social science literature, and b) taking 90% of the existing setup and adding AI would probably already yield lots of interesting studies. In general, it seems like there is a lot of room for people interested in the intersection of AI+ethics+social sciences.
Also, Positly+Guidedtrack makes running these studies really simple and turned out to be much smoother than I would have expected. So even when people without a social science background “just want to get a rough understanding what the rest of the world thinks” they can quickly do so with the existing tools.
