Responsibility in AI Systems & Experiences
At RAISE, we envision a future where AI systems are developed and used strongly aligned with human ethics and values. These systems will solve complex problems and help make decisions. They will provide experiences for the users that not only augment and enhance their live, but do so with accountability.
With a wealth of faculty from over a dozen labs across disciplines, RAISE is a leading center for research and education: building, evaluating, and envisioning AI technologies in the area of Responsible AI. Together, we are working to address humanity’s existential challenges such as climate change, access to food, water, and healthcare, as well as reliable and trustworthy information and political landscape, to support an equitable, sustainable, and healthy world.
