About the Center
The Center for the Future of Trust builds tools, datasets, and analytical methods that help society understand how political ideas evolve — and how democratic reasoning can be strengthened in an era shaped by artificial intelligence.
We develop public-interest technologies that bring clarity to the information landscape. Our work supports journalists, policymakers, civil society leaders, students, and researchers who need transparent ways to see how narratives shift, where dissent forms, and how trust can be restored.
Our Vision
We aim to create a national hub for AI, democracy, and historical reasoning — a place where interdisciplinary teams build transparent, trustworthy tools for the public good.
Why Emory
Emory brings together strengths in data science, digital humanities, political analysis, and public scholarship. Positioned in Atlanta’s civic innovation ecosystem, the Center is uniquely situated to bridge academic research with real-world impact.
We are building the infrastructure that democratic societies need to navigate the future.
