Integrated AI takes a transdisciplinary approach to artificial intelligence by bridging experts from different fields in order to understand AI on a micro- and macro-level. We research on wide-range of issues from addressing social and scientific problems to supporting creative and cultural practices. 

Human-Machine Interaction

Novel design ideas are important in ensuring human-machine interactions are ethical and inclusive. Our work aims to tackle both the moral and the design components of machines to consider nature and components of moral skill, while also ensuring the agents are value-aligned and non-bias.

Decision Making under Uncertainty

From fundamental research to innovative solutions, ANU hosts a range of initiatives linked to AI decision making under uncertainty. Our award winning Network members develop tools and systems where AI make deliberate decisions in the presence of uncertainty, as well as formulate planning systems and algorithms.

Regulation and Governance

ANU is a pioneer in the field of regulation and governance, which aims to understand how various actors, governments and institutions shape the course of events in society. Our researchers are committed to not only understanding how AI-related developments are changing approaches to governance, but also developing innovative proposals to best regulate AI in practice.

Ethics and Normative Theory

A branch of philosophy that captures the philosophical side of AI Ethics. Our experts investigate areas such as social epistemology of the Internet, philosophy of language applied to social media or AI, and philosophy of science relating to AI and computing.

Creative AI

Creative AI uses innovation in approaching art by merging human creativity with machine intelligence. Our experts use AI to experiment and produce artistic outputs, and also find ways on how AI can support social and cultural change.

Climate Change and AI

Urgent climate change issues require innovation to tackle major future catastrophes. Our research utilises AI as a tool that helps us understand climate change ranging from ocean sea surface temperature (SST) forecasting to predicting the future state of the Great Barrier Reef.

Transdisciplinary AI

Every research problem is approached differently. Our experts find solutions from variety of disciplines and tackle issues relating to AI through diverse lenses or use AI as a resolution.

Markets and Computation

The use of AI tools and algorithms in common web platforms and applications has led to unexpected interactions between humans and AI, therefore complicating the market interaction. Our researchers are committed to analysing the outcomes of diverse range of patterns from humans and AI market interaction through tools, designing algorithms, and proposing policies to improve the outcomes of complex market systems.

Robotics

From theory to application of robotics in human environment, our award-winning researchers are constantly studying ways to use robots as a way to improve society.

These illustrated cards are the backs of an original playing card deck assembling 56 A and I words and chess diagrams, part of a larger experimentation of analogue game investigations about A.I. It explores an alternative redefinition of A.I as units of a social language before mathematical construct. Its purpose is to look at some of the principles of machine learning like interpretation, classification, prioritization, as components of human interaction, before its encoding.

AI for Biomedicine

ANU researchers are using AI to revolutionise healthcare, and finding solutions to health issues by diagnosing diseases, detecting cancer and finding drug discoveries.

This image shows two labelled swab tubes with red caps and a glass jar full of blue and white pills, floating against a grey background and refracted in different ways by a fragmented glass grid. This grid is a visual metaphor for the way that new artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies can be used to extract and analyse medical data in innovative ways. Some of the grid squares reveal graphical interpretations of the objects that exceed the capabilities of human vision, which indicate

Computer Vision in Context

Computer Vision as a tool to extract important information from image or video presents an opportunity for machines to learn and build. Our specialists develop 3D reconstructions and are capable in building large-scale digital models.
