Domains
What trustworthy behavior requires depends on the setting. Explore the evidence, responsibilities, and open questions in each domain.
Our focus is Faith and Cybersecurity, with Enterprise as an exploratory direction. In other domains, we share selected outside research and open questions that collaborators can develop.
Featured research domains
Fide AI · Published research
Religious sources, spiritual authority, moral judgment, and the responsibilities of people and institutions.
Our first domain of published empirical work, with studies in Christian contexts.
Explore Faith & Religious Life →Fide AI · Published analysis
Research toward dependable autonomous cyber defense: when to act, how to verify recovery, and how to preserve human control.
Explore investigations, current studies and longer-term questions about evidence, oversight and autonomous defense.
Explore Cybersecurity →Fide AI · Exploratory direction
Trustworthy AI for knowledge work: reliable outputs, accountable actions, and effective human review.
An exploratory direction, starting with how to evaluate AI-generated decision briefs against their sources.

These areas are represented in Fide’s public research calls. Explore a guide or a proposed question; the calls do not imply established Fide expertise or completed studies in these settings.
Open research calls
Local knowledge, community institutions, and access to services. Several calls begin in faith-based settings; that context remains part of the question.
All calls in this setting →Open research calls
Learning, relationships, and human agency, connected to the Education and Faith domains. Existing calls include both general and explicitly Christian settings.

Reading the landscape
Published research means released studies you can inspect. Planned research identifies a selected study before experiments begin. Exploratory directions identify a possible next focus before an active study. Proposals are developed ideas seeking a lead or collaborators. Active studies record their specific stage on the project page. Published analysis identifies released investigations or methods contributions, with experimental projects retaining their own stage. Research guides bring together selected outside work, open calls, and any Fide projects in that setting.
External research is labeled by its producer and type. It can be relevant whether or not Fide works in that domain.
