The Distributed AI Research Institute is a space for independent, community-rooted AI research, free from Big Tech’s pervasive influence.
The EU's Platform Work Directive went into law. Our own Mila Miceli testified in favor of including protections for data workers, without whom AI systems wouldn't exist, along with Uber drivers and other gig workers.
We publish interdisciplinary work uncovering and mitigating the harms of current AI systems, and research, tools and frameworks for the technological future we should build instead.
Read our research philosophy on conducting community rooted research, and browse our projects ranging from developing AI systems for low resource settings, to data related work, and robustness testing and documentation.
