For the mutual progress of humanity and science, we must be able to use AI, not as mere tools but as our able teammates. In the Human, Hybrid AI, and Machines (HAIM, rhymes with "time") laboratory, directed by Dr. Shreya Banerjee, our overarching research goal is to make progress in this direction, using hybrid artificial intelligence methods. Hybrid AI combines connectionist AI with computational logic and reasoning to render safe and trustworthy methods for real-world problem-solving.
