Our research draws on diverse disciplinary perspectives to study, measure, and design AI systems and understand their effects on people, teams, organizations, markets, economies, and societies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: AI measurement and evaluation; human\u2013AI interaction and meaningful human engagement with AI; and the design of agentic systems, markets, and institutions that shape how AI participates in the economy and society. The group brings together researchers and applied scientists who were part of the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI (FATE), Sociotechnical Alignment Center (STAC), Economics and Computation, and Computational Social Science (CSS) groups at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/lab\/microsoft-research-new-york\/\" data-type=\"msr-research-lab\" data-id=\"199571\">MSR New York City<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/lab\/microsoft-research-new-england\/\" data-type=\"msr-research-lab\" data-id=\"199563\">MSR New England<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AI & Human Systems group shares a common goal: a world where AI boosts productivity, accelerates innovation, and helps people flourish by focusing people&#8217;s attention, enhancing their capabilities, and safeguarding their agency.
