Barbara A. Barry, Ph.D., is a Human-Computer Interaction scientist who studies how interaction with Artificial Intelligence impacts human intelligence, communication, and behavior. Her research examines the design, implementation, and governance of AI in healthcare delivery, with a particular focus on how patients and physicians use and experience AI-enabled technologies in the everyday moments of care. Drawing on perspectives from Human-AI Interaction, implementation science, and AI ethics, she studies not only how AI performs, but also how it influences human judgment, decision-making, and behavior.
