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

该奖学金将为参加将于2022年8月在英国牛津举行的第五届人工智能、道德与社会会议（AIES）的学生项目的部分学生提供旅费。AIES是一个即将到来的国际会议，研究人员将研究人工智能对社会各个层面的影响。这项活动将在这一重要领域汇集广泛的研究人员，并在这一关键的早期职业阶段支持初级研究人员。学生项目创造了机会，让那些可能因缺乏资源而无法参加人工智能会议的参与者参与进来。对于那些规模较小的机构和那些人工智能项目不太发达的机构来说尤其如此。吸引这样的参与者有可能吸引更多的人才进入人工智能研究，在他们的形成阶段改进研究思路，并在学科的广度上产生合作。这个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界对他们工作的看法，并使他们能够探索自己的职业目标。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.
