The Centre for Applied Moral Psychology investigates the collision between our often ancient moral intuitions, our modern social problems, and our emerging future technologies. We apply the insights of moral psychology to research topics ranging from religion to institutional trust to artificial intelligence, bringing psychological science to bear on the moral questions shaping our collective future.
