CHaT

Our Mission

We support groundbreaking humanities-based research on AI and emerging technologies, then translate that work into public programs that benefit students, educators, and communities.

Our Approach

01

Understand the technology

We take AI seriously as a technical artifact, studying the assumptions built into its architecture, training, and deployment.

02

Work alongside practitioners

We collaborate with people using AI across science, engineering, and medicine to investigate explainability, ethics, and trust in practice.

03

Connect scholarship and public life

Our research informs our public work, and our partnerships with educators and communities sharpen the questions that guide our research.

What We Do

01

Research

We conduct interdisciplinary research on AI explainability, evidence, and trust, and bring scholars together through our annual conference, speaker series, and CHaT Corners.
