On January 22, 2026, the Graduate School hosted a special online session of the Graduate Café, featuring distinguished guest Dr. Bekhzod Khoshimov from NYU Abu Dhabi. The event, titled “AI Methods in Social Sciences,” provided an insightful exploration of how cutting-edge methodologies are transforming research across disciplines.
Dr. Khoshimov delivered a comprehensive introduction to the application of artificial intelligence in social science research. His presentation demonstrated how AI techniques—including machine learning and natural language processing—are being used to analyze complex social, economic, and entrepreneurial phenomena.
Participants actively engaged in the Q&A session, posing thoughtful questions on the practical implementation of AI tools, ethical considerations, and future methodological trends. This session served as a forward-looking forum for methodological innovation, inspiring interdisciplinary dialogue and equipping researchers with new perspectives on integrating AI into social science inquiry.
