In an AI-driven world, how do we build better connections?

The Collaborative Social Technologies Lab (CSTL) at KAIST’s School of Computing is dedicated to answering this question. Building from our work in online trust and safety, we chart the course for the future of social computing. We strive to enrich interpersonal dynamics across digital platforms—enabling more positive and productive collaboration, learning, and leisure. By advancing social AI agents and simulation technologies, we aim to unlock a new paradigm in how humans interact with each other and with intelligent systems.
