This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $1,000,000 is funding a collaborative effort between Prairie View A&M University, University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas A&M University to advance research and education in implementing urban digital twins (UDTs) through developing responsible foundation AI techniques to bolster community resilience. The project unfolds through three research thrusts: 1) responsible AutoML-GPT based data collection and representation, 2) explainable foundation AI based 3D modeling for UDT construction, and 3) enhancing UDTs with social system information through integrating knowledge graphs with multimodal foundation models. The project aims to foster collaboration, train students, and increase the participation of underrepresented minority students in STEM research. It will contribute to nurturing a skilled workforce adept at addressing national challenges in responsible AI and urban planning. The project includes sub-awards to the University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M University, who will contribute their expertise in areas such as digital forensics research, cybersecurity technology development, and advanced materials research for national security applications. This multi-institutional collaboration is designed to advance various technologies, including AI, urban planning, and data mining, while promoting diversity, equity, and innovation in STEM research and education.
