Our Mission

Designing and evaluating AI systems with and for people, focusing on aligning technology with human needs and values

 

 

Situated at the intersection of AI and HCI, we focus on methodologies prioritising the human perspective, ensuring that AI technologies serve as responsive and responsible extensions of human intent and values. We aim to establish guidelines and methods for designing with and for AI-powered systems that align with human needs and values.
