Description:
The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University

with our work on artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and 
related technologies (with a particular focus on community engagement 
and education / translational research). They will join the Berkman 
Klein Center’s world-class community of scholars and digital architects, 
and work in close collaboration with Berkman Klein faculty, staff, and 
fellows to advance a range of interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research

its community members’ independent and collective goals.
