New AI Seed Grants Support Trustworthy Tech - Tom Ventsias, Maryland Today

New Projects Target Health Care, Autonomous Cars, Educational Disparities, More. The University of Maryland-led Institute for Trustworthy AI in Law & Society (TRAILS) on Tuesday announced a second round of seed funding, jumpstarting a series of interdisciplinary projects to advance artificial intelligence (AI) systems that benefit all of society. The five grants totaling $685,000 will support efforts to improve AI-generated health information, enhance safety and trust in autonomous vehicles, address education disparities driven by race and location, examine AI-generated social media used during a pandemic or natural disaster, and build new frameworks for using chatbots and their underlying technology, known as large language models (LLMs), in academia.
