项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest by exploring the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques transform how knowledge is gained, applied, and transferred. It will examine this issue across different sectors, including education, industry, and government. The project focuses specifically on the need to harness today's AI technology to augment human performance and productivity. To this end, a two-day workshop will bring together a broad range of stakeholders to share insights and ideas. The workshop will include keynote presentations, panel and participant discussions, and AI technology demonstrations. Through these activities, participants will explore how to harness machine intelligence in ways that collaborate effectively with humans, thus augmenting human understanding, productivity, health, and safety.The workshop will generate: (i) a white paper on AI systems to enrich human lives in an inclusive manner; (ii) a roadmap for priority action in AI-enhanced STEM knowledge acquisition and application; (iii) a sustainable network of researchers and advisors for future submission of proposals to federal and other funding agencies. On Day 1, following a keynote presentation by the governor of Pennsylvania, there will be a networking session for participants, followed by AI technology demonstrations. After lunch, a panel discussion will explore AI Knowledge Acquisition and Application, followed by a presentation on governmental funding opportunities to support work in this area of AI. On Day 2, following a keynote presentation by the president of the Fund II Foundation and a networking session for participants, researchers will present their work on overcoming biases in AI. Participants will develop a draft of the white paper during the working lunch and extending into the afternoon. Following additional networking breaks and presentations about funding opportunities, the afternoon will conclude with discussions about pathways forward. The workshop will benefit society by paving the way toward deeper discussion and greater collaboration among stakeholders regarding the use of AI to augment human performance and productivity. Additionally, the topics addressed involve human interaction with cyber-physical systems in ways that re-define the human-computer interface, a topic at the confluence of three NSF Big Ideas: Human-Technology Frontier, Growing Convergence Research and Harnessing the Data Revolution. This project is cofunded by the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources Program, which supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students and the NSF Engineering Education and Centers Division, which invests in creation of 21st century engineers and discovery of technologies through transformational center-based research, research in education and inclusion, and research opportunities for students and teachers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过探索人工智能（AI）技术的潜力来改变知识的获得，应用和转移的方式来服务国家利益。它将在包括教育，工业和政府在内的不同部门进行研究。该项目专门针对利用当今AI技术来提高人类绩效和生产力。为此，为期两天的研讨会将汇集各种利益相关者，以分享见解和想法。研讨会将包括主题演讲，小组和参与者讨论以及AI技术演示。通过这些活动，参与者将探索如何以与人类有效合作的方式利用机器智能，从而增强人类的理解，生产力，健康和安全性。研讨会将生成：（i）关于AI系统的白皮书，以包容性的方式丰富人类生活；（ii）在AI增强的STEM知识获取和应用中的优先行动路线图；（iii）可持续的研究人员和顾问网络，以将来向联邦和其他资助机构提交建议。在第1天，在宾夕法尼亚州州长的主题演讲之后，将为参与者举行网络会议，然后进行AI技术示范。午餐后，小组讨论将探讨AI知识的获取和应用，然后进行有关政府资助机会支持AI领域的工作的演讲。在第2天，在基金II基金会主席的主题演讲和参加参与者的网络会议之后，研究人员将介绍他们在AI中克服偏见方面的工作。参与者将在工作午餐期间开发白皮书草稿，并延长到下午。在额外的网络中断和有关资金机会的演讲之后，下午将以有关前进道路的讨论结束。研讨会将通过铺平对社会进行更深入的讨论的道路和利益相关者之间有关使用AI来提高人类绩效和生产力的更大合作的道路。此外，解决的主题涉及与网络物理系统的互动，以重新定义人类计算机界面的方式，这是三个NSF大思想的融合：人类技术前沿，融合研究和利用数据革命的主题。 This project is cofunded by the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources Program, which supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students and the NSF Engineering Education and Centers Division, which invests in creation of 21st century engineers and discovery of technologies through transformational center-based research, research in education and inclusion, and research opportunities for students and teachers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持。
