About

Dr. Yoji Kohda is a pioneering researcher in the field of human-computer interaction, with a specific focus on the dynamics of trust in emerging technologies. His work primarily explores the intersection of cognitive assistants (CAs) and user trust, aiming to understand how people build confidence in AI-driven decision-support tools. His most-cited paper, "Trust in Cognitive Assistants" (2019), lays the groundwork for a comprehensive framework identifying the key determinants of trust in interactions between humans and CAs. This research is critical as CAs become increasingly prevalent in data-driven decision-making, offering high-quality recommendations that require user reliance. While his citation count is still growing, Kohda’s contributions are foundational in defining how these systems can be designed to foster trust, a vital component for their adoption in sensitive domains like healthcare and finance. His work stands out for its forward-looking approach, addressing the psychological and technical challenges of integrating AI into everyday decision processes.
