Partnering with NSF on human-AI collaboration

The Institute we are announcing with NSF will support interdisciplinary research on a variety of modes of interaction between people and AI--like speech, written language, visuals and gestures--and how to make these interactions more effective. Importantly, the research, tools and techniques from the Institute will be developed with human-centered principles in mind: social benefit, inclusive design, safety and robustness, privacy, and high standards of scientific excellence, consistent with the Google AI Principles. Research projects in the Institute will engage a diverse set of experts, educate the next generation and promote workforce development, and broaden participation from underrepresented groups and institutions across the country. All research outcomes will be published to advance knowledge and progress in the field.
