Kirsty Kitto is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence in Education at the University of Bergen. She focuses on understanding cognition and learning in complex socio-technical systems. She is interested in systems that exhibit contextual behavior, results that are hard to replicate, and places where our standard approaches to modeling are failing us.

Kirsty was previously an Associate Professor in the Connected Intelligence Centre, where she modeled the many ways in which humans interact with information, and how this can change as a result of the different contexts in which people find themselves. She is working towards providing unified mathematical and computational models of contextuality, which often results in apparently complex and unpredictable human behaviour. She publishes papers in journals covering fields such as Complex Systems Science, Cognitive Science, Psychology and Computer Science. Kirsty was an Associate Professor in the UTS Connected Intelligence Centre, which specialises in Educational Data Science and Human-Centred Design to develop interactive tools that help leaders, analysts, educators and students uncover new insights.
