Theory of Change
Vanderbilt's AI fairness research contributes to reducing risks from advanced AI by ensuring that AI systems are developed and deployed in ways that serve equity and justice rather than concentrating power. Through research on algorithmic reparation, formal verification of AI fairness properties, and AI governance frameworks, Vanderbilt researchers help establish the intellectual and technical foundations for AI systems that distribute benefits broadly and avoid harmful biases. This work complements technical AI safety efforts by addressing the societal and distributive dimensions of AI risk.
