The grant will fund the establishment of the Center for Responsible Artificial Intelligence and Governance (CRAIG), which brings together academic, industry, and government partners to advance trustworthy and responsible AI development. CRAIG will focus on critical challenges such as designing...

This $240,900 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports the development of educational resources for the ethical use of pervasive data in computing research. The project aims to address the unique ethical challenges around the collection and use of pervasive data - rich information generated from people's digital interactions - which often falls outside traditional human subjects...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $400,000 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to research methods for encoding societal values into social media ranking algorithms. The key goals are to: 1) develop techniques for translating social science constructs into algorithmic objective functions, 2) create a library of societal objective functions based on validated theory, and...

This EAGER project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, is developing hybrid (human-AI) technologies for forecasting complex sociotechnical outcomes. The $299,549 award to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) aims to advance machine learning and AI to support the integration of human inputs through hybrid prediction markets, where humans and AI-enabled traders buy and sell assets representing future...

This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of an empathy-based framework to enhance privacy education and design. The project team at the University of Notre Dame is using generative AI to create synthetic personas with AI-generated personal data. These personas are then used to design interactive sandboxes and developer tools that allow individuals to empathize with the...

This $111,984 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support a collaborative research project focused on mapping the state of AI ethics education across diverse higher education institutions in the United States. The project aims to: (a) comprehensively survey current and planned AI ethics education interventions, (b) develop a framework to understand how faculty perceive and conceptualize AI ethics...

This $425,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support collaborative research to develop new algorithmic and machine learning tools for incentivizing robust networked data exchange. The project aims to design data ecosystems that yield more representative and reliable datasets, with the goal of better reflecting the needs of all Americans. The research will integrate concepts from computer...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $1,499,864 to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to develop a community-focused data management platform in Long Beach, California.
