Technology and Policy That Leave No One Behind

As companies and consumers rush to figure just what artificial intelligence (AI) applications can do, J. P. Singh is more concerned about how these technologies are created. A Distinguished University Professor with Mason’s Schar School of Policy and Government and codirector of Mason’s Center for Advancing Human-Machine Partnership (CAHMP), Singh’s research focuses on how cultural preferences can shape both global policy and technology. 

"Perhaps the most important and unique feature of our project is that we will use sophisticated big data models in computer and social sciences…. This analysis will be important for showing how cultural values and institutional priorities embedded in AI shape security—and insecurity—in the 21st century."
