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.


Free Virtual Workshop on Assessing and Improving AI Trustworthiness: Current Contexts, Potential Paths

February 25th, 2021 / in AI, Announcements, research horizons, Research News / by Helen Wright

On March 3-4 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will convene “Assessing and Improving AI Trustworthiness: Current Contexts, Potential Paths,” a public workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help think through this interrelated set of challenges.

This workshop will work to produce initial ideas for activities and collaborations by academia, industry, and the public sector to improve the assessment of trustworthiness of AI systems, and recommendations for NIST and similar public bodies. The notion of AI trustworthiness, comprising a wide array of attributes such as robustness, accuracy, fairness, explainability, and privacy, presents a complicated set of challenges in assessing these aspects of trustworthiness. Accounting for the trustworthiness of a given AI system thus requires assessing a number of different performance measures of these key attributes and navigating a number of trade-offs among different aspects of trustworthiness. System designers, regulators, policymakers, and interested parties will each have to devise a set of tools to handle these challenges.
