Description
As AI technology is advancing rapidly, real-world deployments of AI are being increasingly used to address some of the most challenging problems faced by society. Many aspects of modern life intersect with and depend on AI technology, but relatively few people understand the principles of how this technology works. Over the past few years, there has been growing interest among AI researchers in developing new strategies for improving AI literacy.
The goal of the 2022 CMU K-12 Summit on AI for Social Good is to help the next generation of AI users and engineers to understand (1) how AI works and (2) how AI can make positive impacts on the world. We hope this summit will inspire and equip students to transform fundamental research in AI into positive real-world impact, leading to new research directions, approaches, and AI-based tools benefiting all stakeholders in future deployments.

Part of the goal of this summit is to foster diversity and inclusion in AI for social good, by stimulating interest and engagement in AI research across a broad range of backgrounds. We encourage registrations from students belonging to historically under-represented ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and genders in computer science.
Space will be limited for the Workgroup Challenge sessions; while providing demographic information is not required to register, this information will help us to prioritize participants in the event that we exceed our planned capacity. The remaining sessions will be livestreamed and made available to all students
