Planning: CRISES: Center for Humane AI Studies (CHAIS)

本项目调查人工智能(AI)的发展，以更好地了解如何实现AI的好处并将风险降至最低。一个由社会科学和人文科学的跨学科研究人员组成的小组将分析人工智能作为社会的一部分，而不是纯粹的技术系统的地位。该项目为人工智能研究中心开发了一个模型，专注于人工智能危机的三个关键方面：信任、公平和识字。该研究项目确定了如何在人工智能中建立可信度，作为人类依赖人工智能使用的根本支柱。该项目强调公平和公平在人工智能应用中的作用。这个项目提高了所有人发展基本人工智能素养的潜力，这样他们就可以安全和负责任地与之互动。这个项目汇集了多个学科的领导人，计划建立一个人文人工智能研究中心(CHIS)。研究团队由来自多个社会科学、人文科学、计算和健康科学的跨学科学者组成。该研究项目确定和研究了人工智能可以通过三个领域加剧和改善社会危机的方式：1)值得信赖的人工智能作为伦理人工智能和以人为中心的人工智能的交叉点进行操作；2)考虑到自动化系统经常加深现有的不平等或歧视边缘化人群的担忧，公平和人工智能；以及3)研究人工智能素养的发展，因为人工智能正越来越多地融入我们生活的各个方面，从日常消费产品到医疗、教育、金融和交通等领域的复杂决策过程。CHAIS项目组织了一系列活动，以发展融合人工智能研究的能力，包括创新沙龙、阅读小组、专题课程、研讨会和研讨会系列。该项目通过K-12教师培训、教师发展和研究生级别的公共政策项目创造学习和知识的机会。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。

This project investigates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand how to realize the benefits of AI and minimize risks. A interdisciplinary group of researchers from the social sciences and humanities will analyze the position of AI as part of society and not a purely technical system. The project develops the model for a research center in AI focusing on three critical aspects of the AI crisis: trust, equity, and literacy. The research project identifies how to trustworthiness in AI as a fundamental pillar for human reliance the use of AI. The project emphasizes the role of equity and fairness in the application of AI. This project advances the potential for all people to develop basic AI literacy so they can interact with it safely and responsibly.This project brings together leaders in multiple disciplines to plan for the proposal of a Center for Humane AI Studies (CHAIS). The research team consists of an interdisciplinary group of scholars from multiple social-sciences, humanities, computational and health sciences. The research program identifies and studies the ways that AI can both exacerbate and ameliorate social crises through a focus on three areas: 1) trustworthy AI operationalized as the intersection of ethical AI and human-centered AI, 2) equity and AI considering the concern that automated systems often entrench existing inequalities or discriminate against marginalized people, and 3) research in the development of AI literacy because AI is increasingly becoming integrated into various aspects of our lives, from everyday consumer products to complex decision-making processes in areas such as healthcare, education, finance, and transportation. The CHAIS project organizes a number of activities to develop capacity in convergent AI research, including an innovation salon, reading group, special topics courses, workshops, and a seminar series. The project creates learning and knowledge opportunities through K-12 teacher training, faculty development, and a graduate level public policy program.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.
