Laboratory for Assured AI Applications Development

Translational AI research at the University of Notre Dame

About

LA3D is housed at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing. Our work sits at the intersection of trust and engineering, converting theoretical AI advances into practical applications that are trustworthy, comprehensible, accessible, and actionable.

Our initiative AI Success Factors: Engineering Trust in Deployments focuses on the engineering and infrastructure that makes AI safe and reproducible for real research workflows. We build in the open: code, knowledge bases, and evaluation artifacts live on GitHub so that the community can audit, reuse, and extend them.
