This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $373,667 to Emory University for research on understanding and mitigating bias in artificial intelligence models for infectious disease spread prediction. Over a three-year period from April 2023 through March 2026, the grantee will develop an AI system to predict the spatial and temporal spread of emerging infectious diseases using self-supervised contrastive learning. Researchers will also leverage large-scale agent-based simulations to collect controlled data and inject various types of bias to study how different biases lead to biased AI predictions. The project aims to enable accurate, scalable and rapid pandemic predictions through measuring and mitigating inherent bias in traditional AI solutions. Findings will support fair and equitable public health decision-making.
