Welcome to the Center for Responsible AI at New York University
Our goal is to build a future in which responsible AI is synonymous with AI. Our work centers around interdisciplinary research, technology policy, and education and training for AI practitioners, decision makers, and the public at large.
What is responsible AI? We use this term to refer to making the design, development and use of AI socially sustainable: using technology for good while controlling the risks. Responsible AI is about respecting human values, ensuring fairness, maintaining transparency, and upholding accountability. It’s about taking hype and magical thinking out of the conversation about AI. And about giving people the ability to understand, control and take responsibility for AI-assisted decisions.
