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.

April 27th, 2023 / in AAAS, AI, CCC / by Catherine Gill

The final CCC panel of AAAS 2023, “Maintaining a Rich Breadth for Artificial Intelligence”, was held on Sunday, March 5th, the last day of the conference. This panel was composed of David Danks (University of California – San Diego), Bo Li (University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign), and Melanie Mitchell (Santa Fe Institute) and was moderated by Maria Gini (University of Minnesota).    Dr. Bo Li began the panel by discussing the importance of conducting trustworthy machine learning (ML), and the ways in which we can ensure ML is safe, equitable, and inclusive. Machine learning is ubiquitous, Li said, and today is used in a significant number of everyday activities, such […]

CCC @ AAAS 2020 – Artificial Intelligence Research: A Community Roadmap

April 14th, 2020 / in AAAS, AI / by Khari Douglas

In August 2019 the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), released A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the US. The Roadmap is the output of a series of three workshops that were held in late 2018 and early 2019, with the goal of identifying challenges and opportunities to effectively inform future federal priorities, including future AI R&D Investments. The CCC and AAAI shared the roadmap findings during the Artificial Intelligence Research: A Community Roadmap scientific session at the 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, which took place in Seattle, Washington in February, 2020. The session was moderated […]
