GW FACULTY
GW TAI is an interdisciplinary community of faculty, practitioners and students who produce new knowledge about the design, development, deployment and governance of AI systems in a trusted manner. Hailing from diverse academic disciplines across the University, we collaborate to deliver innovative educational programs, bring multiple perspectives to the table early in the innovation process, and inform policy with science and peer-reviewed evidence. Many of the collaborating faculty also lead partner institutes, linked under their profile.
