About Us
Artificial Intelligence must be equipped with a better understanding of the human intelligence, values and needs for it to serve the best interests of humanity.
The Centre for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA) is located at the University of Cambridge, in the heart of one of the most dynamic AI ecosystems in Europe. It is dedicated to advancing AI for the benefit of humanity and the world we live in.
CHIA brings together an interdisciplinary community of researchers to investigate the innovative ways in which human and machine intelligence can be combined to yield AI which is capable of contributing to social and global progress.
The Centre plays a leading role in educating the next generation of AI researchers and leaders in this area.
Collaboration is critical to our success. We work with universities, industry, policy makers, non-governmental organisations and civil society to achieve common goals.
