View PublicationsBringing together experts from various fields to tackle the complex challenges of AI safety
The complexity of AI safety requires expertise from multiple disciplines. At CARE, we bring together leading researchers from computer science, law, philosophy, psychology, and engineering to study the technical and ethical challenges of developing safe and beneficial AI.
Our research center facilitates collaboration among computer science, data science, social sciences, law, and philosophy. For instance, cognitive psychologists provide insights into human values and ethics, while legal scholars analyze regulatory gaps and governance needs.
Fostering a diverse and inclusive community dedicated to AI safety
The center provides extensive mentoring and professional development for students and early career researchers in AI safety. We recruit a diverse cohort of PhD students, postdocs, and researchers and pair them with senior mentors.
Bringing junior scholars from minority-serving institutions to conduct collaborative research with our faculty
Specific outreach to involve women and underrepresented minorities in AI safety research
Bringing together academics, industry researchers, policymakers, and advocacy groups
Facilitating discussions on emergent AI safety problems with industry partners
Collaborating with leading organizations to advance AI safety research
Measuring our impact and setting benchmarks for progress in AI safety research
Success for our research center will be defined by several key outcomes that advance the field of AI safety and responsible AI development:
Through these achievements, we aim to position our center as a leader in AI safety research, attracting additional funding and support to ensure long-term sustainability and impact.
