The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) was awarded a $499,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to establish an interactive and integrated training program for building high-performance ethical artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The project aims to fill the gap between cyberinfrastructure (CI) support and the distinctive constraints introduced by ethical considerations in AI. The training program includes three interdisciplinary components: 1) philosophical AI ethics training for CI contributors and ethical AI designers, 2) ethical AI training for CI contributors, and 3) CI software and hardware technologies training for ethical AI designers. The project will also include several hands-on projects to deepen trainees' understanding of these topics, such as hardware acceleration for machine learning models and ethical AI implementation. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028.
