Institute for Ethics in AI Oxford

The Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford brings together world-leading philosophers and other experts in the humanities with the technical developers and users of AI in academia, business and government. The Institute for Ethics in AI is part of the Faculty of Philosophy.

Our mission is to carry out world-leading interdisciplinary research – across philosophy, law, social science and computer science – on AI ethics, including issues of safety and governance, to present our research in accessible form so as to enhance public understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by AI and to connect our research to government, business and the third sector to make a real difference in the world beyond the academy.

In offering independent, informed perspectives on AI – spanning multiple disciplines but anchored in philosophy and humane learning – we are meeting an essential need in a democratic society.
