CSRAI Student Affiliates Program

The CSRAI Student Affiliates Program connects Penn State students from a broad range of disciplines with faculty, staff, and scholars who are engaged in AI-related research, education, outreach, and other initiatives. CSRAI supports and amplifies the efforts of Affiliates and Student Affiliates through various initiatives, and strives to build and advance a community of scholars engaged in socially responsible AI discovery that can:

  • enable collaborative research, start new initiatives, and advance existing initiatives
  • engage faculty, researchers, staff, and students from diverse disciplines at Penn State and beyond in vital conversations related to all aspects of socially responsible AI
  • increase the visibility of CSRAI and related activities to funding agencies and external collaborators
  • transform the lives of individuals and society
