Non-profit Vienna-based research association

Artificial intelligence for participation on equal terms.

We are the association “AI Research Institute for People” — a non-profit Vienna-based association for human-centred AI research, focused on accessibility, inclusion and digital participation.

Our mission

Research on equal terms

Technical development shapes who can take part in the digital world. We research and communicate artificial intelligence so that people with and without disabilities can take part in it as equals, on an equal footing.

Focus areas

What we work on

Accessibility & digital participation

AI-supported tools that open up access to information and technology for everyone — regardless of sight, hearing, motor skills or prior knowledge.

Assistive technologies

Research and development of applications that concretely support people with disabilities in everyday life.

AI ethics & algorithmic fairness

Privacy, AI safety and fair systems — so technology reduces social inequality instead of reinforcing it.

Current status

The association has begun its work

The association has been entered in the register of associations and holds legal capacity since 5 June 2026 (ZVR 1547230392). We are building up research, events and collaborations step by step — and this website grows with them.
