TRAVEL PROPOSAL: STUDENT PROGRAM OF THE FIFTH CONFERENCE ON AI, ETHICS AND SOCIETY (AIES 2022)

该补助金支持参加将于2022年8月在英国牛津举行的第五届人工智能，伦理和社会（AIES）会议的学生计划的学生旅行。 AIES是一个新兴的国际会议，研究人员调查人工智能在社会各个层面的影响。这项活动将汇集这一重要领域的广泛研究人员，并在这一关键的职业生涯早期阶段为初级研究人员提供支持。 学生计划创造了一个机会，让那些由于缺乏资源而可能没有参加人工智能会议的参与者参与进来。对于那些在较小的机构和那些人工智能程序不太发达的机构来说，尤其如此。吸引这些参与者有可能吸引更多的人才进入人工智能研究，在形成阶段改进研究思路，并在学科范围内开展合作。 该活动为学生提供了宝贵的机会，让他们在研究的关键时刻接触到外部对他们工作的观点，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This grant supports to student travel for select students participating in the student program at the 5th Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society (AIES) that will be held in August, 2022 in Oxford, UK. AIES is an up and coming international conference for researchers that investigate that impact that artificial intelligence has at various levels of society. This activity will bring together a broad community of researchers in this important field and supports junior researchers at this critical early-career stage. The student program creates the opportunity to bring in participants who might not have attended an AI conference due to lack of resources. This is especially true for those at smaller institutions and those which have less developed AI programs. Engaging such participants has the potential to draw more talent into AI research, improve research ideas in their formative stage, and engender collaborations across the breadth of disciplines. This event provides students with invaluable exposure to outside perspectives on their work at a critical time in their research and enables them to explore their career objectives.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.
