- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program provides $375,587 to the Trustees of Boston University to advance the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and accessibility for users with low vision. The key goals are to: Create the first publicly available, large-scale multimodal dataset with labeled user preferences from individuals who are blind or have low vision. This will help align AI systems to better...
Gallaudet University received a two-year, $378,080 project grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant will support the "Designing Accountable Artificial Intelligence Services for People with Diverse Sensory Abilities" project. This project aims to advance the development of AI technologies that are accessible and beneficial to individuals with different sensory abilities, such as blindness or deafness. Over the two-year period from October 2021 to September 2023, Gallaudet University researchers will conduct investigator-initiated research to design AI services with accountability mechanisms that meet the diverse needs of users with a wide range of sensory capacities. The grant supports the University's work to ensure AI technologies are inclusive and developed through a lens of equity, accessibility and justice.
