The Wanderings, Investigations, and Scientific Practices in Ethical Research (WISPER) Collective brings together ethical AI research within the Artificial Intelligence Explainability Accountability (AIEA) Lab at UC Santa Cruz. Through conversation and co-creation, undergraduate mentees and graduate co-mentors from different disciplines revisit emerging ideas and develop them into new scientific inquiries.
WISPER creates space for exploratory thinking, supports the ethical development of research ideas, documents and shares the research process, and grounds its work in justice-oriented theory and practice.
