项目摘要

The techniques and algorithms associated with artificial intelligence (AI) are simultaneously an outstanding benefit and a looming threat to cybersecurity. AI can aid in the detection of malicious attacks but can also contribute to the efficacy of such attacks. As AI-enabled systems become embedded in our most critical social institutions, the manipulation of their intended behavior is a serious threat to many fundamental rights. The challenge is not only technical, but also apparent in interactions across physical, social, and technological spheres. In order to respond to these challenges, it is critical to establish transdisciplinary approaches that bring together the fields of AI, cybersecurity, and social sciences to effectively understand and apply fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics (FATE) principles in AI. To support this goal, this project will develop a novel educational approach called TechHive: AI. The approach will focus on recruiting teens from marginalized communities and providing them with training in how to address AI cybersecurity threats in ways that adhere to the FATE principles. The project’s focus ensures that students will receive the necessary preparation to pursue career pathways in AI and cybersecurity. In addition, it will support the development of an informed public capable of understanding the privacy, confidentiality, ethics, safety, and security implications of AI.The transdisciplinary project team will develop a set of design principles and processes to support learning at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and FATE. Specific deliverables will include: (1) a transdisciplinary curricular model for teaching cybersecurity and AI; (2) guidelines for the development of effective online and hybrid learning models that integrate STEM and social science curricula with FATE principles in cybersecurity and AI; and (3) a research report that will detail the effectiveness of this model to support high schoolers’ development of workforce skills. In addition, the project aims to address the following research questions: (1) Is there increased awareness and/or value of FATE principles among participating students? (2) Do students have increased awareness of the effects of technology on society and development of skills to design and deploy technology in ways that maximize societal benefit? (3) What design principles and processes best promote learning at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and FATE principles, especially among high schoolers within a hybrid/online instructional context? The design principles and processes produced through this collaborative effort will support the development of a knowledge base of best practices in integrating technical education with ethical training. This project is supported by a special initiative of the Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program to foster new, previously unexplored, collaborations between the fields of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and education. The SaTC program aligns with the Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan and the National Privacy Research Strategy to protect and preserve the growing social and economic benefits of cyber systems while ensuring security and privacy.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.

与人工智能(AI)相关的技术和算法既是一个突出的好处，也是一个迫在眉睫的网络安全威胁。人工智能可以帮助检测恶意攻击，但也可以帮助提高此类攻击的效率。随着人工智能系统嵌入我们最关键的社会机构，对它们预期行为的操纵是对许多基本权利的严重威胁。挑战不仅是技术上的，而且在物理、社会和技术领域的互动中也很明显。为了应对这些挑战，至关重要的是建立跨学科的方法，将人工智能、网络安全和社会科学领域结合在一起，有效地理解和应用人工智能中的公平、问责、透明度和伦理(命运)原则。为了支持这一目标，该项目将开发一种名为TechHave：AI的新型教育方法。该方法将侧重于从边缘化社区招募青少年，并为他们提供培训，教他们如何以符合命运原则的方式应对人工智能网络安全威胁。该项目的重点确保学生将得到必要的准备，以追求在人工智能和网络安全的职业道路。此外，它将支持发展知情的公众，能够理解人工智能的隐私、保密、伦理、安全和安全影响。跨学科项目团队将开发一套设计原则和流程，以支持在人工智能、网络安全和命运的交叉点进行学习。具体成果将包括：(1)教授网络安全和人工智能的跨学科课程模式；(2)开发有效的在线和混合学习模式的指导方针，将STEM和社会科学课程与网络安全和人工智能中的命运原则相结合；以及(3)一份研究报告，详细说明该模式在支持高中生劳动力技能发展方面的有效性。此外，该项目旨在解决以下研究问题：(1)参与项目的学生是否提高了对命运原则的认识和/或价值？(2)学生是否提高了对技术对社会的影响的认识，并发展了以最大化社会效益的方式设计和部署技术的技能？(3)在混合/在线教学环境中，哪些设计原则和过程最能促进人工智能、网络安全和命运原则的交叉学习？通过这一协作努力产生的设计原则和程序将支持建立一个将技术教育与道德培训相结合的最佳做法知识库。该项目得到了安全和值得信赖的网络空间(SATC)计划的一项特别倡议的支持，该计划旨在促进网络安全、人工智能和教育领域之间新的、以前从未探索过的合作。SATC计划与联邦网络安全研究和发展战略计划和国家隐私研究战略保持一致，以保护和维护网络系统日益增长的社会和经济效益，同时确保安全和隐私。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
