Mission

At the New Imagination Lab, our mission is to explore and address the societal impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) while fostering human imagination. We focus on several key areas, including the role of AI in shaping information policies and combating misinformation, its impact on human creativity and the creative process, and the effects of AI on employment, particularly in creative and white-collar sectors. We also examine issues of ownership and value creation in the age of AI, ethical concerns related to AI development and deployment, and the long-term implications of AI on human society and existence.

Our research extends to investigating the impact of AI on mental health, exploring the ethical and philosophical questions surrounding AI consciousness, and revolutionising information retrieval and knowledge management through AI. We are also committed to studying potential conflicts between AI systems and human interests and developing strategies for resolution. By conducting cutting-edge research and fostering collaborative projects, we aim to shape a future where AI enhances human potential and sparks innovative thinking.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that AI developments align with humanity’s broader interests, promoting innovation while safeguarding ethical standards and societal well-being. Through our work, we strive to create a balanced and harmonious relationship between AI and humans, where technology serves to uplift and empower individuals and communities, fostering a just, creative, and prosperous world for all.
