This project will develop and convene a cross-sector and cross-disciplinary workshop focused on the reimagining of advanced research in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cloud computing and other science and technology related areas have the opportunity to change the world as we know it. To ensure an equitable scientific future, we propose an ecosystem approach to educating and training the next generation of advanced researchers and social entrepreneurs that embrace the social sciences, arts and cultural relevance and responsibility. We propose a consortia of public education programs, minority serving institutions and technology companies to nurture and engage underrepresented students in advanced research leveraging connections from K-12 to PhD, with many career options along the journey. Together, addressing the gap in representation in advanced research and addressing high human impact research areas, we have an opportunity to reimagine the future of science and the potential for its’ impact for social good.This workshop aims to advance a technical framework for the acceleration of use-inspired convergence research in this area of national importance by bringing together practitioners from various public and private institutions including institutions of secondary and higher education, industrial and academic research organizations, social justice organizations, government agencies, tech companies and startups, along with students to discuss and address four topics: 1)Support for advancement of underrepresented groups in STEM 2)Social and human good research foundations 3)AI and technology supported education 4)Data trust development. An ecosystem approach to re-envision science and technology research topics, human good interests and interdisciplinarity to accelerate education in science technology and society has been proposed.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.

该项目将开发和召开一个跨部门和跨学科的研讨会，重点是重新构想人工智能，量子计算，云计算和其他科学技术相关领域的先进研究，这些领域有机会改变我们所知道的世界。我们提出了一个生态系统的方法来教育和培训下一代先进的研究人员和社会企业家，拥抱社会科学，艺术和文化的相关性和责任。我们建议建立一个由公共教育项目、少数民族服务机构和科技公司组成的联盟，利用从K-12到博士的联系，培养和吸引代表性不足的学生从事高级研究，在这一过程中有沿着许多职业选择。总之，解决先进研究中代表性的差距，解决对人类影响大的研究领域，我们有机会重新想象科学的未来及其对社会公益的潜在影响。本次研讨会旨在推进加速使用的技术框架-通过汇集来自各种公共和私营机构的从业人员，中等和高等教育机构，工业和学术研究组织，社会正义组织，政府机构，科技公司和初创公司，沿着学生讨论和解决四个主题：1）支持在STEM中代表性不足的群体的进步2）社会和人类良好的研究基础3）人工智能和技术支持的教育4）数据信任发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
