Brown CS News

The latest cover story from Conduit, the Brown CS annual magazine, is a close look at Brown's new Center for Technological Responsibility, Reimagination and Redesign (CNTR), whose mission is to redefine computer science education, research, and technology to center the needs, problems, and aspirations of all, especially those that technology has left behind.

Already numbering more than two dozen affiliated faculty, postdocs, staff scientists, and students from units across campus, the CNTR’s projects include sociotechnical evaluation of large language models (LLMs), genetic data governance, a framework development for evaluating legislative proposals concerning artificial intelligence (AI), and more. Below, we examine the values that animate the CNTR, meet the people who have joined together in its work, and explore the areas where it expects to have an impact both at Brown and in the daily lives of people around the world.
