Valentina González-Rostani
Assistant Professor, University of Southern California

My research examines how technological change—especially job automation and the growing use of AI in the workplace—shapes politics and society. I focus on how these shifts influence political attitudes and populist movements. Much of my work uses natural language processing to study political rhetoric. I also serve on the APSA Task Force on AI, where we evaluate how AI adoption affects the labor force, economic inequality, and their broader political implications.
