The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI) is an interdisciplinary research centre within the University of Cambridge that studies artificial intelligence.^{[1] [2]} It is funded by the Leverhulme Trust.^[3]

The Centre brings together academics from the fields of computer science, philosophy, social science and others. The centre works with the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and the University of California, Berkeley and has a memorandum of understanding with the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University.^[4]

Programmes

The CFI research is structured in a series of programmes and research exercises. The topics of the programmes range from algorithmic transparency to exploring the implications of AI for democracy.^[5]
