Our Research Innitiatives

At CAII, our research explores the intersection of mind and machine, integrating psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and ethics. We aim to expand perspectives and develop more human-aligned AI, challenging narrow algorithmic thinking through interdisciplinary insight.

Psychology helps inform user modelling, emotion recognition, and any human-computer interactions. Cognitive architectures are inspired by psychological theories of human thought and behaviour, and are used in AI.

Psychology

Neuroscience drives the development of brain-inspired AI models (e.g. neural networks). It contributes to explainable AI, neuro-symbolic computing, and understanding how to replicate attention, learning, and memory in machines.

Neuroscience

Ethics guides the development and deployment of responsible AI. It addresses concerns about bias, privacy, and the impact of AI decisions, especially in high-stakes domains like healthcare or law enforcement.

Ethics

Philosophy underpins debates in AI ethics (e.g., machine rights, consciousness), epistemology (how AI systems “know”), and logic (reasoning systems). It helps frame questions like: Can machines think?

Philosophy

Meet Our Founders.

Meet the team behind CAII—an interdisciplinary group driven by curiosity and a shared commitment to rethinking how humans and intelligent systems connect. With diverse expertise spanning the cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence, we collaborate to push boundaries and shape more human-aligned technologies.
