Support AIKI

Knowledge people can rely on

Universities, newsrooms, and publishers help people decide what to trust and which ideas to pursue. As AI becomes part of their work, we need evidence about what changes: who can contribute, how information is checked, and whose perspectives are represented.

AIKI brings together faculty in computer science and social research at CU Boulder. Philanthropic support can give people time to investigate these questions together and develop methods that others can examine and use.

What support could enable

Students working across fields: Help students contribute to research with center faculty, learn methods from more than one field, and spend sustained time on a question.
New research questions: Help faculty and students explore an idea, assess the evidence available, and determine what a larger study would require.
Shared tools and data: Support the preparation, evaluation, and documentation of research resources that can serve more than one investigation.

Make a gift online

Gifts of any size to the Center for AI in Knowledge Institutions (AIKI) Support Fund support the center’s general program, including its research, student participation, and shared research resources. You can give once or monthly through CU Boulder’s secure giving site.

Give to the AIKI Support Fund

Gifts are received by the University of Colorado Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, on behalf of CU Boulder and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For help with a gift, contact CU Boulder Advancement at giving@cu.edu or 303-541-1290.

For a larger or more focused gift, we can discuss a research interest or support for the center’s broader work, then develop a scope and budget through CU Boulder.

Building on CU Boulder’s commitment

AIKI received $250,000 in inaugural funding from CU Boulder’s Department of Computer Science on September 9, 2026. Read the founding announcement.

Additional support can help develop the center’s research capacity. A conversation about your interests can identify a specific use for new funding and how progress would be assessed.
