AI for Society (AI4S) group at the AI
Institute is focused on enabling people to make rational decisions despite real-world
complexities of poor data, changing goals, and limited resources by augmenting their cognitive
limitations with technology. Lead by Prof. Biplav Srivastava, the group works in neuro-symbolic methods, trusted
AI, and applications of data-driven methods to society.
We focus on innovating and applying AI techniques for hard problems facing the society with an
inclusive, value-driven, focus.
