This award supports the development of an intensive, interdisciplinary summer program to provide training for the next generation of AI and data ethics researchers by targeting doctoral students with a background in ethics. Participants will receive additional training in the philosophy and ethics of technology alongside technical training, enabling them to collaborate with AI practitioners and researchers to better integrate social and ethical considerations into AI. Program participants will learn from and be mentored by leading experts in machine learning, autonomous robotics, AI and information ethics, technology law, and other disciplines and apply their new knowledge to solve important problems in the development of AI. This project’s primary aim is contributing to societal capacity to responsibly develop and implement AI by helping to build a diverse community of AI ethics experts who will shape and build the field of AI ethics going forward.The AI and Data Ethics Training program will have three core objectives. It will increase participant’s content mastery needed to perform quality research in this area; it will provide professional development opportunities to prepare participants to conduct interdisciplinary, impactful research that reaches beyond the academy; and it will foster a collaborative and diverse community of AI and data ethics researchers. The program will accomplish these objectives through a seminar on foundational topics and current issues in AI and data ethics led by an interdisciplinary team of experts, interdisciplinary faculty support on research projects related to AI and data ethics, and participation in inter-generational and interdisciplinary mentoring groups. The training program also includes professional development workshops on how to approach public-facing scholarship, develop grant proposals, build collaborations with partners outside of academia, and practice inclusive mentoring, as well as an expert speaker series where researchers share cutting edge work, discuss career pathways, and develop connections with participants.This award was co-funded by the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Program.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.

该奖项支持了一个密集的跨学科夏季计划的发展，旨在通过针对具有道德的博士生来为下一代AI和数据道德研究人员提供培训。参与者将在技术培训以及技术培训的哲学和伦理学方面获得额外的培训，使他们能够与AI从业人员和研究人员合作，以将社会和道德考虑在AI中更好地整合到AI中。计划参与者将向机器学习，自动机器人技术，AI和信息伦理学，技术法和其他学科的领先专家学习和指导，并运用其新知识来解决AI发展的重要问题。该项目的主要目的是通过帮助建立AI伦理专家的潜水员社区来促进社会能力，并实施AI，他们将塑造和建立AI伦理领域的未来。它将增加参与者在这一领域进行高质量研究所需的内容；它将提供专业发展的机会，使参与者做好跨学科，有影响力的研究，该研究超出了学院的范围；它将培养一个人工智能和数据道德研究人员的协作和潜水社区。由跨学科的专家团队，与AI和数据伦理有关的研究项目的跨学科教师支持以及参与世代间和跨学科指导小组的跨学科教师支持。该培训计划还包括有关如何接近公共科学，制定赠款建议，与学术界以外的合作伙伴建立合作以及实践包容性指导以及专家演讲者系列的专业发展研讨会，研究人员共享尖锐的工作，讨论职业途径，与参与者建立联系。这些奖项是由伦理和负责任的研究（Ersore deem）授予的（ERSERIDE）的奖项。通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准进行评估。
