BUILDING BRIDGES, INTERDISCIPLINARY AND CROSS-SECTORIAL, DEVELOPING THE TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND AND GOVERN FROM A HUMAN-CENTERED PERSPECTIVE
Vision
As a leader in the field, the AI Policy Lab aims to shape the future of AI governance and policy. We are committed to conducting fundamental, long-term research, grounded in concrete AI models, tools, and techniques, ensuring that we provide transformative insights for policymakers. Our interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial approach uniquely positions us to navigate the complex challenges and leverage the opportunities presented by AI. By prioritizing responsible and operationalizable innovation, along with in-depth reflection on AI’s long-term trajectories and implications, our goal is to deliver comprehensive guidance that is not only immediately applicable, but also scientifically and strategically relevant. Our goal is to foster an informed, responsible, and sustainable integration of AI in society, addressing its ongoing evolution and lasting impact.
Mission
The AI Policy Lab at Umeå University is dedicated to conducting pioneering, fundamental research in the field of artificial intelligence that transcends traditional boundaries. Our focus is to develop and implement innovative methods and engage in diverse activities that facilitate knowledge exchange. Our approach is to be swift-footed in responding to immediate challenges within AI Policy, while simultaneously engaging in critical analysis and thoughtful reflection on long-term directions and implications. This dual approach enables us to critically evaluate and constructively advance collective understanding and effectively address the wide-ranging human and societal impacts of AI.
