Participatory AI Lab Projects

A Hub at California Lutheran University

The lab explores ways in which AI tools can be deployed to promote creative, curious human beings, grounded in a set of ethical convictions and prepared to use and create technology that engages the world on those terms and to challenge technological deployments that do not engage the world in ethical ways. PAI-L at CLU explores the use of AI to solve societal problems.

PAI-L at CLU is convened by Dr. Jose Marichal.
