Project supported in 2020-2022

Setting Up a Permanent Summer School Program in AI and Cognitive Sciences

Project Summary

This project involves the setup of a permanent summer school in artificial intelligence focusing on the cognitive sciences and intended for postsecondary students. The object of the school would be to introduce college students and university undergraduates to artificial intelligence and the cognitive sciences, and to open the door to university-level training in the field. The first two years of operations would be devoted to targeting and consolidating program content and integrating notions of AI into college curricula.
