The George Washington University is co-leading a multi-institutional effort supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that will develop new artificial intelligence (AI) technologies designed to promote trust and mitigate risks, while simultaneously empowering and educating the public.

The NSF Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law & Society (TRAILS) unites specialists in AI and machine learning with systems engineers, social scientists, legal scholars, educators, and public policy experts. The multidisciplinary team will work with impacted communities, private industry, and the federal government to determine how to evaluate trust in AI.

How to develop technical solutions and processes for AI that can be trusted, and which policy models best create and sustain trust. David Broniatowski, an associate professor of engineering management and systems engineering at GW, is the lead principal investigator of TRAILS at GW.

Founded in 1884, the mission of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) of The George Washington University is to serve the global community by:

• Providing high quality undergraduate, graduate and professional educational opportunities.
• Stimulating and promoting innovative fundamental and applied research activities.

Located in the nation’s capital, SEAS strives to promote a multicultural technological community and maintain and develop special integrated programs with industry and government.

SEAS' programs and degrees prepare professionals to be confident in their understanding of science and technology, capable of exercising constructive leadership, creative in the face of new environmental and societal challenges, and agile in the application of critical analytical skills during a life long learning that will open new career horizons.

In all of its activities, the School strives to create a vibrant atmosphere, providing for interaction and joint ventures among faculty, students, and the abundant resources of scientists and facilities available in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
