Affiliates Program
The CSRAI Affiliates Program connects members of the Penn State community from a broad range of disciplines to engage in AI-related research, education, outreach, and other initiatives. CSRAI supports and amplifies the efforts of Affiliates through various initiatives, and strives to build and advance a community of scholars engaged in socially responsible AI discovery.
To be considered for CSRAI Affiliate status, complete the appropriate request form below. CSRAI leadership will review applications based primarily on the requestor's current research interests and/or potential to support the Center's mission.
Approved Affiliates will receive timely communications about CSRAI activities. We also encourage Affiliates to list their CSRAI affiliation in their email signatures and CVs and to acknowledge CSRAI-related activities in publications, news releases, and other works to publicize the work of the Center.
