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.


Call for Proposals: SAFE-AI: Safety Assurance through Fundamental Science in Emerging AI

October 31st, 2024 / in Announcements, CCC / by Petruce Jean-Charles

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) would like to encourage you to consider submitting a proposal to Schmidt Sciences SAFE-AI: Safety Assurance through Fundamental Science in Emerging AI program.

The SAFE-AI: Safety Assurance through Fundamental Science in Emerging AI program seeks research proposals to advance the science of AI safety. 

According to the request, the goal of the program is to deepen our understanding of the safety properties of systems built with large language models (LLMs) and to develop well-founded, concrete, implementable technical methods for testing and evaluating LLMs. 

“The program will improve understanding of the relationships between and implications of various testing methodologies, grow the technical AI safety academic community, and ensure that safety theory is informed by practice—and vice versa.” 

Interested individuals are invited to submit their proposals by November 8 at 11:59 p.m. Submissions should build on the existing work of applicants and include the principal investigators, institutions, CVs, bios and the SAFE-AI topic you are focusing on.

Visit the website to learn more about the topics and other submission requirements.
