My senior thesis explored the use of Gamification as a pedagogy for AI ethics education, by developing a digital education game that combined Gamification and Conversational Learning. The study found the game was effective in keeping students engaged and fostering critical thinking, with a statistically significant impact on AI literacy scores.

This paper reviews contemporary trait-based approaches to personality psychology, examining how models such as the Five Factor Model and more recent frameworks like Cognitive-Adaptive Trait Theory can be used to understand and predict human behavior. The paper explores emerging research in this area to better explain the underlying mechanisms connecting personality traits to observed behavior.

This paper examines the legal ambiguities surrounding Large Language Model-generated content under existing Irish intellectual property legislation, identifying a gap in how copyright law handles non-human authorship. The paper proposes a preliminary framework for addressing this gap, proposing a standardized creativity test to determine whether AI-generated literary works qualify for copyright protection, and adapting the functional capacity test from the Assisted Decision-Making Act 2015 to assess whether an AI can be considered a legal decision-maker.
