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.
AI@UW aims to push the boundaries of AI technology in service to the public good by advancing ethical, interdisciplinary AI research while fostering practical innovation to benefit society at large.
