The Humanities Research Centers on Artificial Intelligence program supports the creation of new interdisciplinary centers that explore the social and cultural dimensions of AI through a humanities lens. Proposed centers must focus on a specific topic related to AI’s societal implications—such as ethics, law, history, or civil rights—and demonstrate how this work can inform the United States’ leadership in AI. Each center should involve sustained collaboration among multiple scholars and pursue at least two scholarly activities, such as research initiatives, educational programming, conferences, or tool development. Projects must include a dissemination plan and are expected to have a long-term vision that outlasts the grant period.
