PITTSBURGH (AP) - Carnegie Mellon University has received a $10 million donation for research and education about ethical and policy issues stemming from advances in artificial intelligence and other technologies.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (https://bit.ly/2f0WK40 ) reports that the donation by K&L Gates LLP establishing the K&L Gates Endowment for Ethics and Computational Technologies will create new faculty positions and doctoral fellowships.
The gift will also support a biennial conference, allow recognition of outstanding achievement by undergraduate students and create an annual prize to be awarded at commencement to a graduating senior.
Peter Kalis, K&L Gates chairman and global managing partner, called defining ethical boundaries concerning the new technologies “a profoundly important and signature 21st century challenge.”
