Dr. Jill Dosso (she/her) is a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia where she teaches courses on biological and cognitive aspects of psychology.

In her research, Dr. Dosso is interested in how people perceive emerging smart and social technologies such as social robots, health wearables, and generative AI. She prioritizes working in community with persons with lived experience who are impacted by these technologies, such as children with anxiety and older adults experiencing dementia.
