CAMBRIDGE COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE AND DESIGN GROUP

How can we responsibly design AI systems for enabling climate and environmental sustainability actions?

Based at the University of Cambridge, we combine systems thinking, computational social science and sociotechnical design to decode this process. Using multi-domain data and human-centered AI, we build decision architectures for climate action and democratic futures. Led by Dr Ramit Debnath, Assistant Professor and Deputy Director of Centre for Human-Inspired AI, we transform people-centic big data into actionable insights for decision-makers. We are part of the Centre for Human-Inspired AI (CHIA)'s AI for Sustainability research theme.

Research Areas

Computational social sciences

Focus on the development and application of computational social science methods, building on theoretical and empirical developments in Natural Language Processing (NLP), large language models, network theory, ML/AI, grounded theory, and behavioural science.

AI for climate and environmental sustainability

Focus on the AI and ML-driven evidence base to support decision-making of climate and sustainability action at a systems scale to enable collective action by advancing pluralism.

Sociotechnical design

Focus on the use of data science and systems approaches to design just transition and resilient pathways for environmental policy applications.

Human-in-the-loop AI design

Focus on exploring the design boundaries of human and machine intelligence systems using a FAccT (Fairness, Accountability and Transparency) lens to support human-centric decision-making.
