Artificial Intelligence

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

Centers & Initiatives

AI-SDM logo with three colored swirls around the outside labeled AI, Social Sciences and Use Cases

NSF AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM)

The AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM) brings together AI and social sciences researchers to develop human-centric AI for societal good that harnesses the power of data and improved understanding of human decisions to create better and more trusted choices.

Taskar Center for Accessible Technology (TCAT)

TCAT harnesses the power of open-source technology to develop, translate, and deploy accessible technologies, and then sustain them in the hands of communities. Housed by the Paul G. Allen School for Computer Science & Engineering, TCAT centers the experience of people with disabilities as a lens for improving design & engineering, through participatory design practices, tooling and capacity building.
