The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has opened the application process for workshops that will launch its Artificial Intelligence Forward Initiative.
The endeavor will commence with one online and one in-person workshop to allow the exchange of ideas on applying trustworthy AI to national security, DARPA said Friday.
AI Forward was introduced in October as part of the agency’s continued efforts to advance automated technology. To achieve AI trustworthiness, DARPA experts say studies should be conducted on areas such as human-AI partnerships, AI engineering, and foundational theory to help set ethical and safety parameters in fields such as national security.
The agency has begun accepting applications for the summer workshops until March 20. The events will be held online from June 13 to 16 and in-person in Boston from July 31 to August 2.
