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.

This Wednesday, Oct 12, from 3:10pmET-4:30pmET, Barbara Grosz is giving a Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society (SRI) Seminar Series talk. Her talk is titled “Fostering responsible computing research,” and will be followed by interactive discussions in virtual breakout rooms. Grosz is the lead researcher on a recently conducted National Academies’ Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) study on the ethical and societal impacts of computer science, and she will be presenting the major findings in the pre-publication report. CCC posted a blog earlier this summer on the CSTB report. In her talk, Grosz will outline tangible steps research institutions can take in order to be more considerate of the societal implications of their work. Register for the seminar here.

Grosz is the Higgins Research Professor of Natural Sciences in the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. She has conducted innovative research in the fields of natural-language processing, human-computer communication, and artificial intelligence collaborative planning. Grosz has also enhanced the computing research community by advocating for women in science, and propelling multiple interdisciplinary institutions.

The SRI Seminar Series continues through Dec 7 with many other fascinating speakers and compelling topics related to AI, ML, and more. The full schedule and list of speakers is available here.
