This $464,781 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides funding to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal is to engage 10 undergraduate students per year in exciting summer research projects on topics related to AI robustness, fairness, explainability, privacy, and accountability. Faculty mentors will train the students in the design and development of trustworthy AI systems, providing them with valuable technical and analytical skills to pursue graduate study and careers in this critical field. The award makes targeted efforts to recruit students underrepresented in STEM, including women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities. Students will have opportunities to present their work at academic conferences, and the investigators will disseminate their experiences running the program through educational research publications.
