Hi, we are AIRES!
AIRES is a research team from Indonesia. We study how people and AI work together, when people should trust AI, and how to design AI tools that help everyone.

Who we are
Our members build products in industry and do academic research on trust between people and technology. We bring both views into every project.
We start with the people who will use AI, including people who are often left out of design decisions.
We measure what makes people trust or doubt AI answers, and how that changes their decisions.
We turn findings into clear design guidance that product teams can use in real products.
The team

What we do
Every study follows the same three steps.
Step 1
We hold discussions and interviews with the people affected, such as parents and product teams.
Step 2
We look for patterns in how people use AI, where they trust it, and where it lets them down.
Step 3
We share findings with experts, such as child psychologists, and publish them for designers and researchers.
Research
Upcoming study
We will listen to how mothers of young children see AI in daily family life. We will then share the findings with child psychologists.
