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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) in the amount of $395,059 will support research at the University of Washington to develop techniques for encoding societal values into social media ranking algorithms. The key objectives are: Introduce a novel method using large language models to build algorithmic objective functions that represent social science constructs, referred to...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (CFDA 47.075) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program supports a cross-national study to investigate how algorithms that shape information on social media platforms can promote mutual understanding, increase trust, and affect polarization. The project employs generative artificial intelligence, agent-based models, and online experiments to prototype alternative newsfeed algorithms and analyze their impact....
This $322,812 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), supports research to advance the understanding of how people engage with news online and how their behaviors evolve over time. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing computational models to identify different types of news engagement behaviors and their progression stages, using advanced language and user modeling...
This Project Grant award, valued at $200,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Federal Grant Program for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075). The project, conducted by New York University (NYU), is examining the causal impact of social media usage on individual well-being and out-group animosity across multiple countries through a global field experiment. The research team is incentivizing a large sample of people to temporarily reduce...
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 $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will fund the creation of research infrastructure to advance social artificial intelligence. The Leland Stanford Junior University will develop processes for collecting and annotating multimodal, cross-cultural datasets of social communication in an ethical and sustainable manner. They will also organize workshops around data collection needs to build models...
