A new Institute at University of Cambridge launched aiming to meet the challenges and opportunities of new technologies. Three research centres- the Centre for Human-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (CHIA), the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI), and the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) - are now part of Institute of Technology and Humanity (ITH).
The institute will offer a home for the three centres as they continue work in their respective areas, along with a useful umbrella structure that allows integrating cross-centre strengths, facilitating synergies, and catalysing new collaborations where opportunities arise.
The Institute provide a structure that supports the centres in world-leading research and teaching that investigates and shapes technological transformations and the opportunities and challenges they pose for our societies, our environment and our world. The breadth of research conducted spans the arts, humanities and social sciences alongside the natural, medical and technical sciences to address the great issues of our time.
