This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $106,874 to North Central College to fund the planning and pilot implementation of an AI Summer Institute on Communities (AISIC). The AISIC is a collaboration between North Central College and New York University that aims to equip undergraduate students entering the AI workforce with critical skills in the social and technical dimensions of AI development. Through in-person workshops, experiential learning, and engagement with industry/community leaders, the program will help students develop strategies for the responsible design, development, and deployment of AI technologies to positively impact underrepresented communities. The planning phase will involve assessing needs, identifying stakeholders, building curriculum, and executing a limited pilot program. Findings from the pilot will inform the full-scale, six-week residential AISIC program planned for implementation at North Central College. This award reflects NSF's commitment to broadening participation in technology innovation and fostering the development of ethical, equitable AI systems.
