The AI Ethics Lab is an international research initiative dedicated to examining the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence and analyzing its impact throughout the AI lifecycle—from design and development to deployment, use, and monitoring. Founded by Principal Investigator Dr. Nathan C. Walker, a First Amendment and human rights educator at Rutgers University–Camden, the values-driven lab embraces a solutions scholarship methodology. Researchers in the lab identify moral challenges and actively develop practical policy strategies to foster responsible technologies that benefit humanity and the environment. Student researchers meet in person each Friday at the AI Ethics Lab, located at the Digital Studies Center at Rutgers University–Camden at the Walt Whitman Building in Johnson Park.
