Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.


AAAS Human Impacts of AI Symposium June 11th

Join the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellows for a virtual symposium on Living with AI: The Human Impacts of AI on June 11 from 9:00 AM ET- 4:30 PM ET. Please register here!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how we think about every aspect of our daily lives, impacting our food, health, work, and society. Public discourse often focuses on AI as‌ ‌a‌ ‌social‌ ‌good‌ ‌that‌ ‌will‌ ‌increase‌ ‌efficiency‌ ‌and‌ ‌improve‌ ‌outcomes for all,‌ without examining how racial, ethnic, and gender biases can be encoded‌ ‌into‌ the underlying ‌algorithms.‌ Building on the recommendations of the National AI R&D Strategic Plan, this symposium will provide a nuanced perspective on the human impacts of AI and how to ensure that AI technologies are safe and fair in their development and application, which will inform policymakers, academics, and industry leaders as they seek to implement these technologies.

The keynote address will be on “2020 Vision: Reimagining the Default Settings of Technology & Society” by Ruha Benjamin, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Princeton University. 

It will be followed by five Interactive Panels on the role of AI in various industries:

  • The Role of AI in Advancing Health
  • The Role of AI in Hiring and Workforce Development
  • The Role of AI in The Criminal Justice System
  • The Role of AI in Producing Your Produce
  • The Role of Governments and Industry in AI Policy Development
