TechHive AI Summer Program- Free to High School Juniors and Seniors

TechHive AI is an innovative learning program to teach high school students about cybersecurity and ethics of AI. While AI holds great promise to positively transform many areas of society, ill-conceived deployments pose significant risks to people’s rights and safety.

TechHive AI combines STEM and social sciences to teach students about cybersecurity and AI. Using ethical AI

principles (e.g., fairness, accountability, transparency, security), students will explore potential technology and

governance strategies to mitigate harms and maximize benefits of AI in society.

 

Participants learn and develop techniques that can address and mitigate AI cybersecurity threats in ways that adhere to

ethical AI principles. Participants will also get opportunities to share these techniques with their communities, school

districts, and local policymakers. This project is funded through a grant by the National Science Foundation.
