AI + Science

A new paradigm of transformational AI-enabled scientific discovery across the physical and biological sciences, advancing core AI principles and training a new generation of diverse interdisciplinary scientists.

Data & Democracy

Cutting-edge research at the intersection of computation and democratic representation. How can data science innovations – better mechanisms, better models, better metrics – strengthen democracy?

AICE: AI for Climate

A program of the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth and DSI, AI for Climate aims to accelerate and transform climate research with a focus on both scientific advances and societal impacts.

Data Ecology

The goal of data ecology is to study dataflows and design interventions to control how data impacts our world.

Novel Intelligence

Exploring how to train AI models that augment rather than mimic human capacity.

Work with us!

We have several job opportunities currently open, including faculty positions, postdoctoral and preceptorship programs, and technical and administrative staff positions.
