Description
Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) supports novel, ambitious, and speculative work in AI and data science that can generate initial results. The program welcomes humanistic, social scientific, natural scientific, biomedical, and engineering approaches. Projects may range from discrete studies and research for books to speaker series, system building, and evaluation. HAI encourages work that bridges disciplines and could attract further internal or external support.
The program particularly seeks work on AI and data science for discovery, education and learning, AI’s societal impact, and the technology’s spiritual dimensions. Its priorities are technologies inspired by human intelligence, tools that augment human capabilities, and research that helps guide AI’s global impact for the greater good.
