The AI Ethics Lab is an international research initiative dedicated to examining the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence.
Our mission is made possible by the talented research community listed below. Contributors help develop ideas, conduct research, and author publications; Editors advance the AI & Human Rights Index; and our partners from the United Nations, Visiting Scholars, and student researchers help shape the direction of the lab’s projects. We are also excited to welcome Rutgers colleagues who have joined the AI Ethics Exchange, a university-wide community of practice. Learn more about how you can get involved!
