Participants will work on projects that leverage interdisciplinary approaches from Digital Civics and Community Informatics to explore how AI can serve citizens and communities, rather than just businesses or governments. Over six weeks, selected students will collaborate with leading researchers, including PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows, to design and evaluate AI solutions focused on community needs. As a participant in the Citizen-Centered AI Summer Research Program, you will have access to a range of resources that will help you focus on your research and professional development while in the United Kingdom. We will support you through targeted professional development, collaborative and cultural learning, and cohort networking initiatives to build your research and intercultural competencies. You will also have access to technical resources to help you envision and develop prototypes that enable your research.
