The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division (doing business as the University of Michigan). The project, titled "REDDDOT PHASE 1: PLANNING GRANT - BRIDGING PAST AND FUTURE: FOSTERING COMMUNITY-RESEARCHER SYNERGY THROUGH PLANNING", seeks to design, develop, and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly by using human-computer interaction methodologies to increase community involvement in AI development. The project will explore how to better include community voices in AI design, with a focus on the impacts of AI in areas such as public health, education, and the workforce. Key objectives include establishing a baseline understanding of AI, shifting towards more responsible, community-focused AI research and development, identifying critical areas for future investigation, and moving towards responsible AI integration within community-engaged research. The project will employ educational sessions, reflective surveys, and the Choosing All Together (CHAT) deliberative tool to co-create planning processes with academic researchers and community members in the East Side of Detroit. The award period is from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2026.
