Beyond today’s questions, RAP Lab looks ahead to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges, exploring how humanlike technologies will evolve and reshape society.
Anticipating change
As AI systems become more capable and more convincingly humanlike, the ethical and psychological stakes will only grow. We aim to stay ahead of these shifts rather than react to them after the fact.
Long-term questions
What happens to human relationships as artificial companions become more sophisticated? How do trust and deception evolve as robots grow harder to distinguish from humans? These are the questions our long-term research agenda is built to answer.
Our commitment
RAP Lab is committed to producing research that helps society navigate this future thoughtfully, ensuring that as humanlike technologies advance, they do so in ways that serve human wellbeing rather than undermine it.
