The Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence (VRAI) Lab is run by the Department of Philosophy at Purdue University. Headed by Dr. Javier Gomez-Lavin, the lab utilizes high-end computers to both train and analyze machine learning algorithms, such as LLMs, as well as virtual reality software packages and headsets to study perception and cognition in virtual spaces. The VRAI Lab has a research focus in the conceptual, cognitive, epistemic, and moral questions that undergird the accelerating development of tomorrow's technologies.
