Two MS&E faculty are among the principal investigators on several new research projects sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI).

Recipients of the 2022 Hoffmann-Yee grants span many schools and departments across Stanford, and each project team includes a cross-disciplinary team of PIs from multiple schools.

MS&E Professors Ramesh Johari and Johan Ugander are among the PIs investigating different research projects. Prof. Johari will study equitable risk assessment in health care settings as part of a project titled "EAE Scores: A Framework for Explainable, Actionable and Equitable Risk Scores for Healthcare Decisions." Prof. Ugander will study how to make social media AIs aid in achieving societal goals rather than undermine them as part of a project titled "Tuning Our Algorithmic Amplifiers: Encoding Societal Values into Social Media Algorithms."
