Working Toward Technologies for Agency, Dignity, and Human Flourishing

The Aristoi Institute is dedicated to facilitating coordination, collaboration, and innovation in applying “AI” and machine learning to building tools and systems that empower and enable individuals with intellectual disabilities such as Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, and Fragile X.

We take the view that disability is expertise, following the lead of real people with disabilities as much as possible in design, implementation and prioritization.

Our Mission

Our mission is grounded in the belief that AI (and technology in general) should respectfully augment human cognition, autonomy, and dignity, rather than pursue abstract or autonomous intelligence disconnected from real human needs.
