Date: Monday 18th December 2023, 19:30 – 20:30
Event: Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) Competition (Online Event)

Supported by MathWorks, FİGES and TÜBİTAK SAGE

Science Technology and Society (STS) is a class that is taken by engineering students at Bilkent University. As part of the term project, students consult researchers and innovators on their interests and research practices. In Fall 2023, some of the STS students focused exclusively on responsible innovation and artificial intelligence (AI). As part of their responsible artificial intelligence project, students interviewed innovators from one relevant research or innovation site. The responsible innovation questions focused on decisions that innovators make about values, stakeholder concerns and risk issues. The students also consider how innovators develop appropriate solutions in response to these aspects. The student projects were considered by a jury from MathWorks, FİGES and TÜBİTAK SAGE for two Responsible Artificial Intelligence Awards: Outstanding Responsible AI Award and Responsible AI Innovation Award.
