Artificial Intelligence, Culture & Society (AIC & S)

Research in the Artificial Intelligence, Culture & Society unit examines how algorithmic technologies shape - and can be shaped by - social, cultural, and ethical concerns. The group investigates both the societal impact and the constructive potential of AI, combining perspectives from digital humanities, media studies, and computational social science. Our work explores how algorithmic systems intersect with questions of representation, privacy, and control; how they can extract meaning from text and images to advance research in the humanities and social sciences; and how they enable large-scale, data-driven analyses of cultural artifacts. Through this interdisciplinary approach, our scholars deepen understanding of how AI transforms society, foster public literacy and engagement around digital technologies, and conduct technical research aimed at making algorithmic systems more transparent, interpretable, and just.
