Allen School researchers are at the forefront of exciting developments in AI spanning machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics and more.
We cultivate a deeper understanding of the science and potential impact of rapidly evolving technologies, such as large language models and generative AI, while developing practical tools for their ethical and responsible application in a variety of domains — from biomedical research and disaster response, to autonomous vehicles and urban planning.
Groups & Labs
Social RL Lab
The Social RL Lab aims to leverage social information in human-AI and multi-agent interactions to enable AI to learn complex behavior, rapidly adapt to new circumstances and cooperate to achieve joint goals—similarly to how humans and animals learn.
H2 Lab
The H2 Lab addresses foundational problems in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing to develop general-purpose AI algorithms that represent, comprehend, and reason about diverse forms of data at large scale.
Faculty Members
Centers & Initiatives
RAISE envisions a future where AI systems are developed and used in alignment with human ethics and values. With researchers from over a dozen labs across disciplines, RAISE is a leading center for research and education: building, evaluating, and envisioning AI technologies in the area of Responsible AI.
The mission of the UW Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences (CREATE) is to make technology accessible and the world accessible through technology. By bringing together researchers from across the campus, CREATE harnesses the diverse expertise necessary to realize a more just and equitable technological future, one that overcomes existing barriers and ensures new ones do not arise.
