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.

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.

AIMS Lab

The AI for bioMedical Sciences (AIMS) Lab fundamentally advances the way AI is integrated with biology and clinical medicine by addressing novel scientific questions spanning explainable AI, model auditing, disease drivers, and more.
