SMC Data Challenge 2024 provides an opportunity to contemplate the guidance necessary to construct trustworthy, ethical, and useful AI systems for scientific purposes. The participants with selected essays will be invited to present at the Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference (SMC24) where contest winners will be announced.
To realize such a future, researchers require well-considered frameworks encompassing both scientific rigor and ethics to govern the use of AI for scientific purposes. We hope that interdisciplinary teams will form to deliberate and write about this topic. We encourage submissions about questions of ethics and the use of AI for science and what these AI frameworks should consider and how they might operate. (Teams should allow themselves creative forays: poetry, thought experiments, dimension reduction analysis are all ok!)
We invite teams to submit thought-provoking responses to one of the following challenges in a 2000-word essay. Teams may consist of up to four members, and participation from diverse technical and humanistic viewpoints is strongly encouraged.
Challenges Coming Soon
Selected solutions to these challenges will be given a DOI.
All participants must obtain an ORNL conference access approval to participate in the conference for this competition. Respond promptly to all ORNL access invitations and emails from the organizers to avoid potential delays.
