Expanding Educational Opportunities

AI.Humanity leverages Emory’s growing community of AI scholars as well as our strengths in ethics and the liberal arts to create an educational experience appropriate to the world in which we live: data-infused, curiosity-driven, and intensely collaborative.

At Emory, AI education goes beyond algorithms. AI.Humanity promotes AI literacy across campus, equipping all students with essential knowledge and skills to thrive in a technology-driven world, but it also encourages serious consideration of the field’s ethical implications, bias, and fairness. 

Along with expanding Emory’s community of faculty with expertise in AI, the AI.Humanity initiative works with schools campuswide to create new learning opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in the classroom and beyond.

“As the digital age advances, it’s becoming more and more important to have an understanding of what AI means, what it can and can’t do, how to interface with it, and when to be wary of it. As a university, we have a responsibility to be stewards of AI education not only for our students, but for our faculty and our community. At Emory, we believe in ‘AI for all.’ ”
