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.

Centers & Initiatives
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.
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.
Highlights
UW News
AI models with trillions of parameters are too large to run on many smart devices, but accessing them in the cloud leads to multi-second delays. Micro language models developed by researchers in the Mobile Intelligence Lab bridge the gap and provide instant responses to users.
Allen School News
In the latest installment of a Q&A series exploring grand challenges in computing, professors Franziska Roesner and Sewoong Oh discuss how they and their colleagues aim to develop a safer, more secure and privacy-preserving future through technologies that better serve people and society.
UW News
Allen School Ph.D. student Yael Eiger and professor Franziska Roesner discuss their research examining people’s experiences with technology during and after incarceration and the broader impacts of technology used for policing and post-release monitoring.
