>>a different framework for human–machine relations

The complex questions posed by AI technologies are not purely technical. Thus, our Center’s vision is not only based on the technical implementation and improvement of AI but also on highlighting the complex relationships each machine learning technology has with humans and society.

Our mission is to cultivate a democratic dialogue about technology, ensuring that any transformations serve the interests of a just and equitable society. In this effort, we aim to offer two things:

We envision a different framework of human–machine relations, in which machines are “visible” to society. We explore the conditions under which such artifacts can be realized. Finally, we investigate the social processes that can contribute to lifting the internal opacity of machines and freeing them from the monopolistic control of large corporations and patent-based intellectual property.
