Meredith Ringel Morris serves as Director for Human-AI Interaction Research at Google DeepMind and holds dual Affiliate Professor appointments at the University of Washington in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering and the Information School. Previously, she directed Google's People + AI Research team and founded Microsoft Research's Ability group as Sr. Principal Researcher leading Interaction, Accessibility, and Mixed Reality initiatives. Her educational foundation includes a Sc.B. in Computer Science from Brown University and M.S./Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Stanford University, where her dissertation Supporting Effective Interaction with Tabletop Groupware pioneered surface computing research. Morris is a globally recognized leader in Human-Computer Interaction and Human-AI Interaction , with transformative contributions to accessibility technologies , social computing , and ethical AI frameworks . Her work spans collaborative web search systems (founding the field with SearchTogether), user-defined gesture methodologies adopted industry-wide, and accessible AI applications for blind users, people with dyslexia, and AAC device users. Current research critically examines generative AI's societal impact while developing human-centered interaction paradigms. Recent publications reveal accelerating focus on AI ethics , human-AGI interaction frameworks , and accessibility-specific AI applications , with generative models increasingly central to solving communication barriers for diverse user groups while addressing alignment challenges. Her scientific recognition includes: ACM Fellow designation ACM SIGCHI Academy membership Lasting Impact Award (ACM ISS 2016) Technology Review's 35 Innovators Under 35 Morris has co-taught University of Washington courses including Input and Interaction (2012) and organized seminal events like the UW-MSR Summer Institute on Expanding Accessibility Research. Her research leadership spans conference chair roles (CSCW General Chair), editorial boards (TOCHI), and steering committees (CHI/CSCW), supported by industry funding yielding over 100 publications and 20+ patents influencing Microsoft and Google product ecosystems. She founded Microsoft Research's Ability group focusing on inclusive design and currently leads Google DeepMind's human-AI interaction research, directing projects including Generative Ghosts (AI afterlives), LaMPost (dyslexia writing assistant), and alt text systems for AI-generated imagery, with ongoing collaboration through UW's dub research consortium.
