The Distributed AI Research Institute is a space for independent, community-rooted AI research, free from Big Tech’s pervasive influence.
In the latest entry in our Possible Futures series, Adrienne dreams of a future where automated tools actually help students and teachers thrive, rather than the current tools that are advertised as being able to replace teachers. You can also catch Adrienne debunking “AI for education” hype on episode 45 of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000.
We publish interdisciplinary work uncovering and mitigating the harms of current AI systems, and research, tools and frameworks for the technological future we should build instead.
Read our research philosophy on conducting community rooted research, and browse our projects ranging from developing AI systems for low resource settings, to data related work, and robustness testing and documentation.
