We are investigating how best to align technology with human values and deploy it accordingly.Across all our activities, SRI convenes world-class expertise and diverse perspectives from universities, government, industry, and beyond to develop new modes of thinking about powerful technologies and their role in what it means to be human in the 21st century. We are defining what’s possible, determining what’s at stake, and devising implementable solutions to make sure technologies like AI are effective, safe, fair, and beneficial—for everyone.To learn more, <a href="https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/" title="https://srinstitute.utoronto.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">visit our website</a>.
