Description:
There is an urgent need to develop and implement learning programs that can help teachers to prepare students to effectively interact with and critically evaluate machine learning applications. This project will work with a group of high school teachers across rural, suburban, and urban US communities in California, Delaware and Pennsylvania serving diverse high school students, including Black, Latinx, and gender-marginalized young people, to design and implement classroom activities that will support students in developing and “auditing” machine learning applications. The goal of algorithm auditing is to better understand the opaque inner workings of AI systems by repeatedly querying the AI system in order to interpret its external effects and impacts.
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge/Interest in machine learning.
- Programming skills for designing applications.
