Originally posted by Heather Wright on the BPCnet.org Resource Portal Applications are now open for the upcoming Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Plan Workshop, hosted by BPCnet.org in Denver, CO from August 3-5, 2022. In this workshop, departments will have the opportunity to learn more about BPC efforts from the National Science Foundation (NSF), how to create a Departmental BPC Plan, and how to best support faculty PIs submitting NSF proposals that require a BPC Plan. Consultants from BPCnet.org will be available to answer questions and provide real-time feedback about your department’s BPC Plan during the workshop. Please check out the workshop website for more information about the workshop. Eligibility This […]
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.
Applications are Open for BPCnet.org BPC Plan Workshop in Denver, CO (August 3-5, 2022)

June 23rd, 2022 / in Announcements, CCC, NITRD, videos / by Catherine GillLast month the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program commemorated their 30th Anniversary in Washington D.C. You can read the full event recap here. In an effort to highlight the impact federal investments have had on the computing research community, the event featured five panels in which participants discussed key achievements in the field over the past decade and future directions going forward. Each panel focused on an important subarea of computer research: Computing at Scale, Networking and Security, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Privacy and the Internet of Things and Socially Responsible Computing. Privacy has become a huge topic of conversation not only among the computing research […]

CCC Council Member Melanie Mitchell Interviews with CNN and MSNBC to respond to claims about Google’s sentient AI
June 15th, 2022 / in AI, CCC / by Haley GriffinWhile many of the achievements of AI scientists, especially in the field of language dialogue application, seemed impossible 20 years ago, it isn’t unrealistic to think that AI can perform in ways only seen in movies. AI systems have or will soon have the capacity to execute human tasks like writing, driving, and analyzing data. AI systems are constantly looking and acting more human, so are they becoming human? According to the vast majority of AI scientists, the answer is no. However, Google engineer Blake Lemoine has made headlines in recent days by insisting that LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, is sentient. Lemoine goes as far as […]
