for Responsible AI
Societal Context Understanding Tools and Solutions (SCOUTS) is a Google Research initiative with the mission to empower people with the scalable, trustworthy societal context knowledge required to realize responsible, robust AI and solve the world's most complex societal problems.
Our mission is based on a very simple premise that, in order to respect cultural, social and legal norms and mitigate harmful societal biases and unjust impacts, we must know what those biases, norms and impacts are. We strive to make societal context knowledge useful and accessible to people and ML systems.
