As the SRI community navigates the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), a critical question remains at the forefront: How can AI be not only effective but also safe and aligned with human values?

The Schwartz Reisman Institute’s annual academic conference Absolutely Interdisciplinary returns for 2025 to explore interdisciplinary approaches to AI governance, risk and safety.

The SRI Seminar Series returns for 2025 with leading experts exploring AI’s impacts from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, psychology, law, philosophy, and communication.

What kinds of solutions should we consider for gaining access to data, and which purposes can justify this access? These and related questions were the topic of an event co-hosted by SRI and the Berkman Klein Center’s Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard University coordinated by Lisa Austin.

A recent hackathon and symposium co-sponsored by SRI and U of T's Data Sciences Institute explored new ways of using large language models responsibly, with students and faculty receiving training on how to design efficient, interdisciplinary solutions to promote responsible AI usage.

What does safe artificial intelligence look like? Could AI go rogue and pose an existential threat to humanity? These were among the pressing questions tackled by SRI experts during a recent panel discussion on AI safety.
