AI in Social Sciences Research

Overview & Synopsis

AI in Social Sciences Research explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping social inquiry, from data collection and research design through analysis, interpretation, and theory-building. Treating AI as both a tool kit and a methodological shift, the volume offers a clear route into machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), simulation, and generative AI (GAI) for social researchers while keeping ethics, bias, transparency, and interpretability in view. Designed for postgraduate students, early-career researchers, and instructors teaching digital and computational social science (CSS) methods, the book supports readers who want to use AI with methodological care, not just technical speed.
