Mathematica and Howard University have partnered to host the Summer Institute in Computational Social Science (SICSS), which will give social and data scientists opportunities to explore how they can use real-world data to address ethics and equity in artificial intelligence. The two-week summer program is open to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty. SICSS-Howard/Mathematica: Lifting New Voices to Address Ethics and Equity in AIwill take place on Howard’s campus from June 14–27, 2020. The new institute is the first SICSS partner location at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and the first to specialize in giving participants nuanced information about how digital data can address issues of ethics and equity.
About:
The purpose of the Summer Institutes is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and beginning faculty interested in computational social science in more than 30 locations worldwide. The Summer Institute is for both social scientists (broadly conceived) and data scientists (broadly conceived). Since 2017, our Institutes have provided more than 700 young scholars with cutting-edge training in the field and the opportunity to develop new research collaborations that break down disciplinary barriers.
