AI, Platforms, and Society Center

The Project focuses its efforts on three pressing questions: 

AI GOVERNANCE

The Project explores technical and governance strategies for compliance with nascent legislation, regulation, and industry standards that help ensure AI systems are used responsibly in the private and public sectors.

PLATFORM GOVERNANCE

The Project examines a range of systemic risks posed by (and to) platforms, including algorithmic manipulation, mis- and disinformation, and threats to effective competition, with an eye toward developing effective responsive strategies. 

TECHNOLOGY FOR LAW

The Project examines how we can use emerging technologies and public data to ethically address difficult and pressing problems in law.

RESEARCH

The Project hosts a multidisciplinary cohort of research fellows who explore technical and legal strategies to support responsible artificial intelligence, platform governance, and accountability for technologies used in the law. Our work regards and informs the laws and regulations set out by international, national, and state policymakers, as well as private and self-regulatory bodies.

ENGAGEMENT

The Project connects stakeholders across the academy, government, and industry in public convenings, roundtables, workshops, and briefings. We translate our research into deliverables that can inform actionable strategies in the public and private sectors.  

EDUCATION

The Project educates the next generation of leaders in technology and society by offering continuing and executive education programs.

The Project on Artificial Intelligence, Platforms, and Society is a joint collaboration between the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and the CITRIS Policy Lab.
