Ryan Kennedy's work spans public trust in algorithms and AI, election administration and security, environmental and energy issues, and applications of generative AI to survey research and workforce training. Recent projects examine how people perceive and trust automated decision-making systems in areas like policing, warfare, and public policy, alongside environmental topics such as groundwater depletion and electricity grid reliability. This mix suggests a research program bridging political science methods with technology policy and environmental data analysis.
