Cornell Tech has launched a research collaboration with Mastercard to advance methods for evaluating and auditing generative artificial intelligence systems. Supported by Mastercard’s AI Governance program, the project will examine how to improve transparency and real‑world benefits from generative AI.
The research effort includes a core team of Cornell Tech faculty members – Allison Koenecke, Angelina Wang, Helen Nissenbaum, Mor Naaman and Nikhil Garg – who are leaders in the fields of algorithmic fairness, AI evaluation, the ethics of technology and human-AI interaction.
“We are excited to join forces with Mastercard on this initiative,” said Naaman, associate dean for faculty affairs and the Don and Mibs Follett professor at Cornell Tech, the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, and the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science. “Their genuine dedication to responsible AI, combined with our team’s leadership in identifying and addressing the field’s core challenges, positions us to make a meaningful impact. We hope to deliver insights that will be directly useful to Mastercard, as well as anyone who cares about responsibly implementing GenAI.”
