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 Challenge Problems Requiring AI/OR Collaboration

August 8th, 2023 / in AI, Announcements, CCC, Uncategorized / by Catherine Gill

The CCC, in collaboration with INFORMS and ACM SIGAI, will be hosting the final workshop of a three-part series titled, Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Operations Research (OR), in late February or early March 2024, to set a course for fundamental research that needs the partnership of both disciplines. Organized by Yu Ding (Georgia Institute of Technology), Pascal Van Hentenryck (Georgia Institute of Technology), Sven Koenig (University of Southern California), Ramayya Krishnan (Carnegie Mellon University), Radhika Kulkarni (INFORMS), and Phebe Vayanos (University of Southern California), the workshop will focus on drafting a strategic plan for increasing the AI/OR partnership and on outlining real-world opportunities for collaboration, based on discussions from the previous two […]

CIFellow Richard Canevez on the Ukraine Crisis and Expressions of Dissent through Social Informatics

December 14th, 2022 / in CIFellows, CIFellows Spotlight / by Maddy Hunter

The following is a guest post from CIFellow Richard Canevez. Canevez began his CIFellowship in 2020 after reciving his PhD from Pennsylvania State University. He is currently at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where he is mentored by Jenifer Sunrise Winter. When Computing Community Consortium (CCC) approached me to put together a blog post about the evolution of my research, I was excited for the opportunity, but also apprehensive about the topic. This is, on the one hand, writing about the research funded by CCC through the CIFellows program that I hope will serve as more than a mere status report and instead provide thoughts and guidance for future […]

The Coordinated Science Laboratory Releases a White Paper on Key Findings from their Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility

November 10th, 2022 / in AI, Announcements / by Maddy Hunter

The Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) just released a white paper reflecting ideas that were presented and discussed at the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility sponsored by the CSL at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with co-sponsorship by the School of Information Sciences at the University. This symposium was the second of two symposia sponsored by CSL to celebrate its 70th anniversary.  Contemporary AI technologies are more powerful and pervasive than the original AI technologies created in university laboratories. While industry dominates AI today, universities can still play important roles. In this white paper, we recommend actions that universities should take to promote social responsibility in the development and […]
