Expert Working Group on Measuring Problematic Use
KGI’s Expert Working Group on Measuring Problematic Use is developing practical, evidence-based approaches to measuring problematic use of social media and generative AI chatbots. The EWG supports immediate legal and regulatory needs by evaluating and recommending effective methods for measuring problematic use. These approaches may draw on a combination of behavioral trace data, self-report data, and other sources to generate metrics that can be used in policy contexts, even in the absence of settled scientific consensus. The EWG will also articulate recommendations for a longer-term research agenda focused on developing more comprehensive ways of understanding problematic use, including how platform design contributes to harm in cumulative or indirect ways over time.
