Description: The proposed HumainTech AI Center addresses the constitution of artificial intelligence technology (AI), specifically the Large Language Models (LLMs) that have recently emerged with unprecedented capabilities in human-like knowledge and expression. We call these products “virtual language” because they generate a virtual facsimile of human language using statistical probabilities rather than embodied biological intelligence. Using insights from the humanities disciplines, HumainTech investigates the transf

Attentive to the National Artificial Intelligence R&D Strategic Plan , the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights , and Recommendations for AI in the Future of Teaching and Learning , HumainTech uses methods and insights from the humanities to pursue interdisciplinary investigation and educational innovation focused on the virtual language produced by Large Language Models and cultivates public participation in their development, application, and regulation.
In our first three years we will pursue the following research goals:
