Another Semester of the Responsible AI for Ukraine Program Wraps Up with a Project Showcase!

RAIforUkraine is a program run by the Center for Responsible AI at the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University, in close collaboration with Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. Its goals are to help build research capacity in Ukraine, both generally in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and specifically in the critically important area of Responsible AI, and to catalyze the integration of Ukrainian researchers into the global research community.

On December 12, R/AI hosted the Fall 2025 Responsible AI for Ukraine Project Showcase, bringing together research fellows, mentors, partners, and members of the global Responsible AI community.

During the event, 20 research teams presented the projects they developed throughout the semester. The work spanned the program’s core themes—including algorithmic fairness, interpretability, privacy, data management for machine learning, and evaluation and benchmarking—while also exploring emerging directions such as multilingual misinformation detection in the context of the Russian–Ukrainian war, AI-assisted species identification in underwater imagery, and causal machine learning applications in oncology.

The showcase highlighted the progress made by the Fall 2025 cohort and offered a preview of future research directions and publications emerging from the program. Eleven teams demonstrating strong progress will continue their work in Spring 2026 with support from program stipends.
