Their study ‘Biases in expert judgements in large-scale S&T Delphi Surveys: How to cope with them?’, published in 2025 in ‘Technological Forecasting and Social Change’ journal, shows that classical expert surveys not only do not guarantee objective consensus achieving but often implicitly reinforce bias and dispersion of opinions. Researchers have proposed supplementing the Delphi survey methodology with built-in “protective mechanisms” against potential distortions.

Expert Seminar on comprehensive study outcomes of AI development promising areas conducted in 2024 took place at HSE University Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK).
