From developing futuristic packaging that guards food freshness and safety, to improving speech therapy for neurodiverse people, to developing novel sea ice monitoring techniques, 22 new artificial intelligence (AI) research projects were awarded through a new @UofMaryland seed grant program, totaling about $1.5 million. The grants are administered by the Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute at Maryland (AIM), a collaborative hub that the university launched last spring to conduct research, offer innovative and experiential learning opportunities for students, and focus on responsible and ethical AI technology to advance the public good. UMD and its philanthropic and industry partners plan to invest more than $100 million in the institute over the next 10 years. "This year’s AIM research seed awards fund bold, interdisciplinary projects that embody the institute’s mission: to advance innovative artificial intelligence research through our four pillars of accessibility, social justice, sustainability and learning,” said Sheena Erete, AIM associate director of research and @INFOCollegeUMD associate professor. “We are proud to support scholars who are expanding what’s possible through thoughtful, inclusive and impactful research.” today.umd.edu/aim-seed-grant…
