The NNAI Livescu Initiative has a multi-year program designed to support and enhance academic development, engagement and social impact.
In the age of “deep learning”, we revisit foundational topics related to thinking: historical, philosophical, social, ethical and aesthetic research that either grounds or re-orients the public debates and questions around hot-button topics like AI, neuro-enhancement, or the ethical claims and questions associated with them. Our program includes multifaceted explorations designed to deepen our understanding through research, collaboration, and community engagement. Research proposals are developed through faculty feedback on our Faculty Seminars, and in collaboration with scholars at UCLA and beyond.
