Researching AI in the contexts
where it matters.

Our work investigates generative AI as a technological, cultural, educational and ethical phenomenon.

Across our current projects, we create spaces for dialogue, examine the representations produced by AI, and develop ethical approaches that can accommodate different traditions and lived contexts.
