Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University

The Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University is a research institute focused on responsible, human-centered artificial intelligence. Its approach, which it calls experiential AI, keeps a human in the loop. The institute brings together researchers, applied AI experts, educators and industry partners to work on AI in health, life sciences, climate and sustainability, and real-world organizational practice, and it develops methods and policies for using AI responsibly.

The institute also works directly with organizations. Companies can bring a challenge and get a team that combines applied expertise, research, education and governance guidance, whether that means building and testing custom AI applications, training leaders and employees, or assessing risk and setting up governance. Past projects include a self-service analytics tool for a property management firm and an AI adoption program for Bangor Savings Bank.
