About

Welcome to the homepage of Kira Lussier! I am a writer, research administrator, historian, and educator.

Since 2022, I’ve worked in AI research administration & policy at CIFAR. I’m currently the Program Manager, AI Safety, where I work on the Canadian AI Safety Institute Research Program at CIFAR.

From 2018-2021, I was a postdoctoral researcher cross-appointed at the Institute for Management and Innovation, University of Toronto Mississauga, and Rotman’s Institute for Gender and the Economy. From 2017-2021 I was an affiliated researcher at the Technoscience Research Unit.

I earned my PhD from the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto in 2018. My dissertation, “Personality, Incorporated,” told a history of personality tests in North American society, psychology, and business. You can read more about it here.
