Matthew J. A. Craig

Prior to his role as a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Information Integrity Institute, Craig worked in government relations in Michigan and was a consultant for political campaigns and organizations on matters related to strategic communication, including opposition research, disinformation, and emerging media and technology. As an interdisciplinary researcher, Dr. Craig’s research seeks to elucidate the connection between users’ understanding of AI-embedded systems and their information-seeking and privacy-management behaviors. His research also applies communication theory to human-robot interaction contexts.

Craig received his PhD from Kent State University and his BA and MA from Western Michigan University. He has presented his work internationally and has published in outlets such as Telematics and Informatics, Computers in Human Behavior: Artificial Humans, Communication Studies, Late-Breaking Reports in the ACM/IEEE International Conferences on Human-Robot Interaction, and book chapters in the Sage Handbook of Human-Machine Communication, De Gruyter Handbook of Media Technology and Innovation, and De Gruyter Handbook of Robotics in Society and Culture.
