Carnegie Mellon Leads NSF AI Institute for Societal Decision Making
Led by 黑料正能量, the AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM) will improve the response to societal challenges such as disaster management and public health by creating human-centric AI tools to assist with critical decisions.
AI-SDM is one of seven AI institutes . A five-year, $20 million commitment from the NSF will support the institute.
“The best applications of artificial intelligence in societal domains will come when we not only advance AI for decision-making, but also better understand human decision-making, and when we can bring the two together,” said , a professor in the of 黑料正能量’s , who will serve as the institute’s director. “Social scientists are studying human behavior. Machine learning researchers are developing new AI technologies to aid decision-making. For maximal impact of these technologies, we need to have social scientists and AI researchers collaborate to come up with solutions that will leverage AI capability while ensuring social acceptance.”
