The Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence (CHAI) is a research center at University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) focusing on advanced artificial intelligence (AI) safety methods. CHAI was founded in 2016 by a group of academics led by UC Berkeley computer science professor and AI author Stuart J. Russell.[1][2] Russell is known for co-authoring the widely used AI textbook Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach.

CHAI's faculty membership includes Bart Selman and Joseph Halpern from Cornell University,[3] Pieter Abbeel from UC Berkeley, and Michael Wellman from the University of Michigan.[4] In 2016, the Open Philanthropy Project (OpenPhil) recommended a grant of $5,555,550 over five years to support CHAI.[5] CHAI received an additional grant of $200,000 from OpenPhil in 2019.[6]

Research[]

CHAI's approach to AI safety research focuses on value alignment strategies, particularly inverse reinforcement learning, in which the AI infers human values from observing human behavior.[7] It has also worked on modeling human-machine interaction in scenarios where intelligent machines have an "off-switch" that they are capable of overriding.[8]
