Disproportionate attention is paid to low-probability, long-term potential implications of data science andartificial intelligence. Meanwhile, substantial negative impacts are being felt now. One explanation forthis disconnect is the stark racial, gender, and geographic detachment of large technology companies from the people--disproportionately racial and ethnic minorities and women--who feel these negative effects. This award will support a conference at Rutgers University-Newark centered around the transformative potential of engaged research around Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. (Engaged scholarship refers to integrating research, teaching, and public service. Engaged research in AI and Data Science emphasizes the importance of not just algorithms, but the data they are trained on, the problems they are deployed on, and the communities they affect, as well as the people who do the work.)This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

人们对数据科学和人工智能的低概率、长期潜在影响的关注不成比例。与此同时，现在已经感受到了巨大的负面影响。这种脱节的一个解释是，大型科技公司在种族、性别和地理上与感受到这些负面影响的人--不成比例的种族和少数民族以及女性--完全脱节。 该奖项将支持在罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校举行的一次会议，该会议围绕数据科学和人工智能的参与研究的变革潜力。（公共奖学金是指整合研究，教学和公共服务。人工智能和数据科学领域的研究不仅强调算法的重要性，还强调它们所训练的数据、它们所部署的问题、它们所影响的社区以及从事这项工作的人。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
