Our Purpose
Societal AI at UVA is a professional student organization dedicated to ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in ways that benefit society. Through educational workshops, roundtable discussions, guest speaker series, and hands-on events, we pursue two core goals.
Our Values
We aim to build a multidisciplinary community where UVA students and faculty can engage with AI primarily through humanistic and social lenses. The future of AI belongs to everyone, not just tech people — no matter your background, you are welcome here.
Our Mission
We serve as a pipeline for UVA students — particularly those from non-technical backgrounds — to gain relevant knowledge, build individual portfolios, and pursue opportunities in the growing interdisciplinary fields surrounding AI.
