Introducing PADComp at SFU
Welcome to the People and Data-centric Computing Research at Simon Fraser University. We're very excited to have this blog to share some of our work with you!

Each data record upstream of an AI system was created with the involvement of a person (and more often than not, a group of people), so many "data-centred" projects involve people and many "human-centred" projects involve data. Our work seeks to understand these relationships and empower people to control how their data is used, and ultimately, ensure that AI is used responsibly.
