About
Oliver is a researcher and student at the University of Adelaide,
working in collaboration with the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML),
School of Psychology, and the Perception, Attention, Learning and Memory Lab (PALM).
He has attained degrees in Psychological Science and Philosophy, subsequently working
on human interaction with Artificial Intelligence systems at various institutes. He
is currently completing postgraduate research under the supervision of
Professor Carolyn Semmler, Professor Anton Van Den Hengel, Dr Jonathan Opie, and Dr William Ngiam.
This research is in collaboration with the above institutes and supported by the
AIML Industrial AI Scholar Program and the University of Adelaide Research Award.
His studies and research have primarily focused within the fields of cognitive science,
particularly on anthropomorphism, trust, decision-making, agency, mind perception,
and consciousness. Most recent projects have concerned applications of vector-database retrieval
methods for large scale LLMs, validating psychometric measures of trust in various
AI systems, consensus decision-making with AI/human agents, and modifying human-like features
of AI in experimental contexts to manipulate human perceptions and behaviour. Oliver is
actively seeking opportunities that concern the impact of AI technology
development on human behaviour and society.
