A New Dawn for Behavior Analysis in the Age of AI
We are proud to launch Project Chiron—a bold, structured, and unapologetically rigorous initiative to empower every behavior analyst with the skills, frameworks, and fluency required to effectively and ethically engage with artificial intelligence in a way that is informed, critical, and transformative.
AI and Behavior Analysis — Why It Matters
At its core, AI is a system of contingencies: a feedback engine tuned by reinforcement histories encoded as data. This makes it behaviorally relevant by default, not by exception.
Ground Zero for Technical Understanding: AI is Math, Not Magic
Fundamentally, AI is math, not magic. And although learning the math behind AI sounds intimidating, here’s the good news: you don’t need a PhD in maths to build real fluency. Instead, you need conceptual clarity, the same way we teach reinforcement schedules before diving into cumulative records.
Next Publication
We publish every Friday—no surprises, no clutter. Each week’s issue gives you a straight look at how AI is reshaping the work of behavior analysts, from ethical dilemmas to real-world tools to philosophical implications. Think of it as your weekly system check-in—clean, insightful, and written by professionals who get what you do.

About the Creators
Project Chiron was created by Ryan O’Donnell, MS, BCBA and David J. Cox, Ph.D., M.S.B., BCBA-D to bridge behavior analysis and artificial intelligence. Together, they built the course and companion newsletter to give every behavior analyst—from RBT® to professor—the tools to use AI ethically, effectively, and with confidence.
David J. Cox, Ph.D., M.S.B., BCBA-D
A full-stack data scientist and behavior analyst with nearly two decades of experience at the intersection of behavior science, ethics, and AI. Dr. Cox is a thought leader on ethical AI integration in ABA and the author of the forthcoming commentary Ethical Behavior Analysis in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. He’s published over 70 articles and books on related topics in academic journals and, quite possibly, the only person in the field with expertise in behavior analysis, bioethics, and data science.
Ryan L. O'Donnell, M.S., BCBA
With a background in behavior science and digital storytelling, Ryan stopped short of the Ph.D. track to build a distinctive path through filmmaking, science communication, and CEU production. Known for producing high-quality, film-level CEU content with thought leaders like Patrick C. Friman, Susan G. Friedman, and Kent Johnson, he’s directed and produced over 200 hours of online courses, including the acclaimed documentaries This Way of Thinking, The History of Applied Behavior Analysis: Part 1 and The Morningside Model.
