The titles of the proposals recommended for funding are included below along with the names of the awardees and brief descriptions of the planned deliverables.
Projects will be undertaken and completed this year, and final deliverables will be accessible through the lab’s website. "We look forward to the work these projects will deliver and are confident they will advance global thinking and best practices for how organizations can maintain public trust in these new solutions.” “New technologies are unlocking insights and innovative solutions with potential to solve some of society’s biggest challenges, but ethics and responsibility must remain at the heart of how these technologies are built and deployed," said Betsy Greytok, IBM Vice President, Ethics & Policy, and co-director of the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab. “We are happy to provide funding to the awarded projects, confident they will provide valuable insights into these critical themes in technology ethics, and look forward to sharing those learnings with the lab’s wider community.”
“We are humbled by the robust response to our inaugural Call for Proposals from applicants from every corner of the globe,” said Elizabeth Renieris, the lab’s founding director. More than 100 proposals were received, representing every continent but Antarctica, with North America, Africa, and Europe leading the way. The call sought proposals focused on at least one of six core themes related to the ethics of: scale, automation, identification, prediction, persuasion, and adoption. The projects were submitted in response to the lab’s initial Call for Proposals (CFP). 28, the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab announced more than two dozen projects recommended for funding totaling over $500,000.
