Investigating AI requires both technical understanding and attention to the institutions in which it operates.
GCAIRD focuses on questions at the intersection of artificial intelligence, disciplinary knowledge, and institutional practice. The scope is deliberately interdisciplinary because the effects of AI are rarely confined to engineering alone.
How AI systems intersect with scholarly inquiry, professional judgment, and knowledge creation.
How institutions assess accountability, oversight, safety, and the appropriate use of AI.
How organizations test the benefits, limitations, and practical requirements of AI tools.
How AI applications relate to access, inclusion, education, nonprofit work, and social value.
The proposed research approach values analysis of technologies alongside the decisions organizations must make about using them. Applied experience can reveal research questions; research can also inform practical choices.
