Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having an increasing impact on everyday life, from smart speakers and digital assistants to medical discoveries and judicial sentencing. Therefore, the ethical and social implications of AI technologies make it imperative that all citizens understand both the positive and negative impacts on the future of society. This new RET site at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) will provide research opportunities for high school teachers to deepen their understanding of the field of AI while developing materials to use in their classrooms. Teachers will be primarily recruited from high schools in districts serving students who are underrepresented in STEM and from low socio-economic backgrounds. The six-week summer program will include a two-week boot camp to prepare teachers to participate in an intensive AI research project across a range of applications. During the academic year, teachers will continue to engage with research faculty through monthly dinner seminars where they will exchange ideas and discuss the latest updates in AI research. The intellectual focus of this RET Site from UCSD is Interdisciplinary Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on the applications of Deep Learning. The high school computer science and math teachers, mostly from the Computer Science Teachers Association San Diego Chapter (CSTA SD), which is headquartered at UCSD, will participate in a two-week summer “boot camp”, followed by four weeks of intensive research with AI faculty and graduate students from Computer Science and Engineering, Cognitive Science, and Psychology. Additional objectives are to improve the ability of UCSD faculty to communicate ideas to the public through collaborating with and learning from teacher participants. The team also strives to use ideas from participants that can be incorporated into teaching UCSD AI systems. Finally, the main goal of the site is that teachers understand the ethical implications and current challenges of AI to promote awareness, discussion, and excitement among their students.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.

人工智能（AI）对日常生活的影响越来越大，从智能扬声器和数字助手到医疗发现和司法量刑。因此，人工智能技术的道德和社会含义使所有公民都必须了解对社会未来的积极和负面影响。加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）的这个新的RET网站将为高中教师提供研究机会，以加深对AI领域的理解，同时开发在课堂上使用的材料。教师将主要是从为在STEM和低社会经济背景中人数不足的学生提供服务的地区的高中招募的。为期六周的夏季计划将包括一个为期两周的新兵训练营，以准备教师参加一系列应用程序的强化AI研究项目。在学年中，教师将通过每月的晚餐下水道继续与研究教师互动，他们将交流想法并讨论AI研究中的最新更新。 UCSD的RET站点的智力重点是跨学科的人工智能，重点是深度学习的应用。高中计算机科学和数学教师，主要来自总部位于UCSD的计算机科学教师协会（CSTA SD）（CSTA SD），将参加为期两周的夏季“新兵训练营”，然后与AI教职员工和研究生的研究生和研究生进行了四个星期的深入研究。其他目标是提高UCSD教师通过与教师参与者的合作和学习来向公众传达思想的能力。该团队还努力使用参与者的想法，这些想法可以纳入UCSD AI系统。最后，该网站的主要目标是教师了解AI在学生之间提高意识，讨论和兴奋的伦理意义和当前挑战。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估来获得支持的。
