[AISWorld] NSF EAGER opportunity: Cybersecurity Education in the Age of AI

[He, Wu]

FYI.  The U.S. National Science Foundation​ has recently announced an EAGER funding opportunity, which was published in the form of a Dear Colleague Letter (https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20072/nsf20072.jsp).
 ​
Cybersecurity Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)​
 ​
The interplay between AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity will continue to introduce new opportunities and challenges in the security of AI as well as AI for cybersecurity. National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to promote exploration of possible partnerships between AI researchers, cybersecurity researchers, and education researchers in order to inspire novel education and outreach efforts. Such collaborative efforts could also foster a robust workforce with integrated AI and cybersecurity competencies, and develop an informed public that understands the privacy, confidentiality, ethics, safety, and security implications of AI. Teams are required to send a research concept outline, including project title, team members, institutions involved, and a summary of the project concept (up to two pages) by email to satc-edu at nsf.gov no later than midnight EDT on May 15, 2020. A second round of concept summary submissions will be accepted by August 31, 2020. ​
