Abstract:
What is Bridging the Future?
The Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation solicited proposals in 2023 to support broadening participation activities in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Activities were geared toward any age group or educational level, from grade school to senior faculty. Of particular interest are workshops, programs, and web-based materials aimed at improving the training of young researchers. Activities with the potential for broadening representation and inclusion in the field, high impact, and reach are prioritized, as will activities that can demonstrate alignment with the goals of the Neural Information Processing Systems Foundation. Funding amounts may vary depending on goals and potential impact, with a target maximum of $$50,000.
When is Bridging the Future?
Three applications were granted: Indigenous AI, WiML, and Global South AI. They will be presenting their work on Thursday, December 12 at 7:30 pm in room East MR 16. Join us to learn about their ongoing project to better support their communities and the world.
Light snacks and drinks will be served.
We will list the speakers and titles and start time for each group when we have more information.
