Read letters from Drs. Baker and Strover below as they reflect on the past year and look forward to continued growth.

Good Systems is excited to announce a partnership with the UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Hub in the UK. Good Systems and TAS Hub share a vision for a future where AI is ethical, trustworthy, and transforms society for the better.

Systemic biases and racism can seep into the systems that power AI.

A recent $1 million investment to UT from a nonprofit has sparked a new partnership that ensures more developments can be made in ethical applications of artificial intelligence.

Dr. Kenneth R. Fleischmann, Good Systems Founding Chair and Professor in the UT Austin School of Information, will serve as founding editor-in-chief for the newly launched Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Journal on Responsible Computing. The journal will publish original research at the intersection of computing, ethics, information, law, policy, responsible innovation, and social responsibility from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives.

The University of Texas at Austin and the MITRE Corporation, a nonprofit dedicated to solving problems for a safer world, have formed a partnership that includes accelerating innovative ethical artificial intelligence (AI) research currently underway by interdisciplinary teams of researchers who are part of UT Austin’s Good Systems research grand challenge.

Good Systems has awarded 20 summer fellowships to faculty, researchers, and graduate students from 13 departments and units across UT Austin to advance the mission of this research grand challenge by funding innovative research that investigates the ethical implications of AI technologies in society.

Data and integrated technologies can transform cities. Sensors and artificial intelligence can assist people crossing busy streets, provide broadband access at bus stops, or use drones that use AI to help fight fires.

Good Systems announces three summer research opportunities to help advance its mission to design ethical AI technologies to benefit society. Learn more about Faculty Fellowships, Graduate Student Fellowships, and Undergraduate Research Experiences.

UT researchers Maria De-Arteaga and Min Kyung Lee talk about their different but complementary work to make algorithms less biased and harmful.
