CFP: AI and Data Ethics Summer Training Program

AI + Data Ethics (AIDE) Summer is a 9-week, in-person training program intended for graduate students with advanced training in applied ethics, ethical theory, philosophy of science, metascience, epistemology, or other areas with potential research applications to artificial intelligence (AI) and big data who would like to develop research capacities in the ethics of AI, data ethics, and the philosophy of technology. 

Designing AI and machine learning systems to promote human flourishing in just and sustainable ways will require a robust and diverse AI and data ethics research community. However, there are few graduate programs that train students in these areas. The aim of this summer long, in person training program is to supplement resources in students’ home universities with philosophical and technical skills necessary to research in this area.

AIDE Summer 2026 especially welcomes epistemologists, philosophers of science, and metascience researchers interested in developing a research program in the philosophy of AI and computation.

The 2026 AIDE Summer Program was made possible by generous funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Northeastern's Khoury College of Computer Science.

The summer 2026 program will run from Monday, June 1st through Friday, July 31.

Applications are due Thursday January 15th, 2026 at 11:59pm anywhere in the world.  Please apply here:
