Web Science Institute (WSI)

Description

Members of the Web Science Institute combine expertise in web science, data science and artificial intelligence to study the relationship between society and the largest information system in history: the World Wide Web.

The web has transformed business practices, the way individuals interact socially and one's cultural expression.

The institute's researchers collaborate across social, computational and natural sciences, humanities, medicine, health, business and law.

The institute's research themes include:

• democratic futures;
• digital futures;
• data trusts;
• human-centered artificial intelligence;
• online health;
• new forms of knowledge;
• social and embodied artificial intelligence;
• trust and artificial intelligence.
