Faculty invited to develop courses on artificial intelligence and the future of work
Up to six $5,000 mini grants available
The Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs, through the UC Forward Program, invites applications from faculty to develop 2019-20 course offerings that address the impact of advances in artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of work.
Up to six courses will be funded with course development awards of $5,000 each. Activities are intended to promote progressive pedagogy and associated research inquiry. Coursework interactions and outcomes are anticipated to lead to future collaboration among diverse disciplines in both teaching and ancillary research opportunities in any related area of interest.
Coursework proposals are sought from all disciplines, including those not traditionally focused on AI studies.
The deadline to apply for funding is January 18, 2019, at 4 p.m.
