Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Explained

The Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (or DAIR Institute) is a research institute founded by Timnit Gebru in December 2021.[1] [2] The institute announced itself as "an independent, community-rooted institute set to counter Big Tech’s pervasive influence on the research, development and deployment of AI."[3]

In February 2023 two other members of Google's Ethical AI research group, researcher Alexa Hanna and developer Dylan Baker, left Google to join DAIR.[4] [5]
