The Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (or DAIR Institute) is a research institute founded by Timnit Gebru in December 2021.[1][2] The institute announced itself as "an independent, community-rooted institute set to counter Big Tech’s pervasive influence on the research, development and deployment of AI."[3]
In February 2023, two other members of Google's Ethical AI research group, researcher Alex Hanna and developer Dylan Baker, left Google to join DAIR.[4][5]
In 2024, DAIR released a report in collaboration with the Weizenbaum Institute and TU Berlin about exploitation of "data workers" (social media moderators, data annotators, etc.) by the tech industry.[6]
