Inclusive AI: A ChatGPT Plugin and DAO for Engaging Vulnerable Groups in AI

Associate Professors Yang Wang and Yun Huang are spearheading a project in collaboration with experts from the University of California-Berkeley and Stanford University to help ensure emerging artificial intelligence (AI) development proceeds in a democratic manner that is mindful of underserved groups.
