Bio

Eren Bilen's primary research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and behavioral economics. His recent work explores whether users engage in critical thinking when interacting with generative AI, particularly in contexts where the AI may produce hallucinated or misleading responses. Another ongoing project investigates whether geopolitical conflict leads individuals to behave more aggressively toward one another. Using data scraped from a global online chess platform with millions of recorded moves, he analyzes whether players are more likely to choose riskier and more aggressive moves following the start of international conflict. His broader research interests involve machine learning and geospatial analysis on a wide range of empirical contexts. He has since published in several academic journals, including the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, and the Canadian Journal of Economics. He enjoys teaching both Python and R. The courses he taught include introduction to data science, data systems for data analytics, game theory, data analytics capstone.
