New York University, Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy

Our mission is to advance understanding of the nature and value of nonhuman minds, with special focus on animals and AI. Our vision is a world in which all sentient and otherwise morally significant beings are treated with respect and compassion. We pursue these goals through research, outreach, and field-building in science, ethics, and policy.

The NYU Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy (NYU CMEP) is an endowed research center that examines the nature and intrinsic value of nonhuman minds, with special focus on animals and AI systems. We also engage in outreach and field building activities, hosting events and supporting early-career researchers.
