Shalini Sushri

Shalini Sushri is a CS PhD student at Georgia Tech. Shalini is also a CSGrad4US Fellow. This fellowship is jointly awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Computing Research Association (CRA).

Her current research focus includes the following three areas: a) ‘What’ is an AI agent’s understanding of the user problem provided to them?, b) ‘How’ do they solve the user problem based on their understanding of it?, and c)’Why’ do they provide a certain solution to a user problem as opposed to other solutions?

Shalini’s research goal is to improve trustworthiness and transparency of AI machines by giving it the ability to explain themselves to humans in a user-friendly way.
