Advancing AI research, education, and policy to improve the human condition.
Research
Our vision for the future is led by our commitment to studying, guiding, and developing human-centered AI technologies and applications. We believe AI should be collaborative, augmentative, and enhancing human productivity and quality of life.
HAI was established to support innovative AI research that bridges disciplines and fields. The Institute aims to appoint and support promising researchers through its fellowship programs who are working at intersections often overlooked by traditional academic departments, in addition to outstanding researchers pursuing core disciplinary topics.
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI strives to foster a culture of interdisciplinary AI research in which technological advancements are inextricably linked to research about their potential societal impacts. HAI builds on the strength of Stanford research by offering many grant programs.
Affinity Groups provide a space for students to share ideas, develop intellectually and strengthen the community of future leaders dedicated to building AI that benefits all of humanity.
