Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Upcoming AI for Good Global Summit: AI to Prevent Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking and Forced and Child Labour

AI for Good Global Summit is hosting a webinar on AI to Prevent Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking and Forced and Child Labour on Wednesday, February 24th from 10AMb – 11:30AM EST.

This panel will bring together Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Execuitve Council member Nadya Bliss (ASU) along with other members of the CCC/Code 8.7 visioning workshop on Applying AI in the Fight Against Modern Slavery including Alice Eckstein (UNU-CPR), James Goulding (University Of Nottingham), and Anjali Mazumder (The Alan Turing Institute). The goal of the webinar is to discuss promising research avenues within AI and Computational Science as well as some specific cases in which application of these technologies are supporting SDG Target 8.7.

CCC’s March 2020 workshop on Applying AI in the Fight Against Modern Slavery, organized in collaboration with Code 8.7, brought together members of the computing research community along with anti-slavery practitioners and survivors to lay out a research roadmap aimed at applying AI to the fight against human trafficking. The report is currently in the final editing stages and should be released this spring.

The AI for Goood Global Summit webinar free and open for all. If you are interested, please register using this link.
