Research & Publications

My research sits at the intersection of AI, social systems, and human behavior. I use computational methods — behavioral modeling, network analysis, machine learning, and online experiments — to understand and improve how algorithms shape society.

Can adversarial attacks by large language models be attributed?

Demonstrates that attributing AI-generated content to a specific model is computationally intractable: the hypothesis space doubles every ~0.5 years, and attributing one year of U.S. AI output would require 200 years of non-stop supercomputing.

Fairness in LLM-Generated Surveys

LLMs excel at simulating macro-level social patterns but consistently show a U.S.-centric bias and significant fairness disparities across gender, education, and political identity when applied to Chilean populations.

Impact of Price Inflation on Algorithmic Collusion through Reinforcement Learning Agents

Shows that RL-based pricing agents can sustain supra-competitive prices and amplify collusive behavior under inflationary shocks — raising new concerns about autonomous pricing in economic markets.
