As artificial intelligence (AI) spreads into work, health care, politics and daily life, colleges are adding courses and modules on AI ethics. However, no one has systematically mapped what these efforts look like or how they compare.

What they work on

  1. Catalog current and planned AI ethics education interventions across diverse U.S. colleges, including community colleges and minority-serving institutions, through a national survey.
  2. Develop a framework describing how faculty perceive and conceptualize AI ethics education, using interviews analyzed with qualitative methods and natural language processing.
  3. Identify factors shaping instructors' decisions to design AI ethics courses and the institutional capacity and needs for supporting them, using surveys and interviews with faculty and administrators.

More about the research

This collaborative project aims to run the first national survey of AI ethics education in U.S. higher education. It will study what is being taught and how faculty, administrators and institutions approach the subject.

Why it matters

A clear map of how AI ethics is taught could help STEM faculty design curricula and help administrators build programs that give students the ethical skills needed to develop and use AI responsibly, tailored to the needs of their students, employers and communities.

Known grants

From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
