Project Grant 2427505

This $299,996 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports Case Western Reserve University's planning efforts to develop a responsible AI framework and decentralized data architecture for AI-enabled digital services in finance and healthcare. The key components of the project include: 1) designing a decentralized data architecture, 2) creating responsible AI models trained on ethically sourced data, and 3) developing an ecosystem that promotes fair value allocation and stakeholder participation. The technical approach involves assembling a multidisciplinary team to conduct preliminary research, prototype the decentralized data agent architecture, and engage diverse stakeholders through inclusive workshops. This planning phase lays the groundwork for a more detailed implementation in subsequent phases, with the goal of ensuring the creation of a responsible AI ecosystem that benefits all members of society. No subawards are planned under this award.
