About AIRES UCLA
The AI Robotics Ethics Society at UCLA is a pioneering student organization dedicated to advancing ethical AI development through interdisciplinary collaboration and collective discovery.
As technology exponentially advances, it is imperative we investigate and realize how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will interact with society in a diversity of facets of work and life. AIRES at UCLA focuses on educating both future AI leaders and the broader UCLA population who is likely to be impacted by AI regardless of their professional path.
Everyone who works with AIRES is both a learner and an educator. We pride ourselves on our interdisciplinary community, respecting and welcoming one another's specializations and backgrounds.
We see our beliefs as hypotheses to be tested, not treasures to be protected.
We follow the latest advancements in AI and attempt to understand its impact on economics, politics, and society at large. We also conduct research on AI ethics.
Transparent & Ethical AIOur goal is promoting transparent and ethical regulation, implementation, and implications of AI.
The AI Robotics Ethics Society was founded in 2018 at UCLA by Aaron Hui and his peers out of a desire to ensure ethical and responsible AI creation.
UCLA AIRES was the first collegiate chapter of AIRES, an international organization with chapters across California, Ivy universities, and Brazil.
