Dr Christian Arnold

I am an Associate Professor of Government and AI at the University of Birmingham.

My work helps societies take better decisions. I study how governments, political institutions, and citizens use and are affected by AI tools. Since politics relies on verbal and non-verbal communication, I often analyse text, speech, and visual material jointly. I also examine how systems like large language models influence politics and how they can be used responsibly in social science research.

My research has been published in leading international journals, including the Journal of Politics, Political Science Research and Methods, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Electoral Studies.
