What is the Global Humanities and Inclusive Artificial Intelligence Initiative?

The Global Humanities and Inclusive Artificial Intelligence Initiative (GHIAI) is an interdisciplinary humanities endeavor that seeks to (re)focus the critical lenses informing AI, (re)claim data territories and data sovereignty, and fundamentally shift the foundations of AI research and development. Through the multidisciplinary lens of three guiding themes— “What Intelligence?”, “Whose Creativity?” and “Which Relations?”—GHIAI asks What can we learn from non-predominant principles of cultural rights, human rights, design justice, and social justice to critique and shape AI development and use? and How can AI be employed to enhance cultural rights, human rights and social justice?
