ICICLE Webinar: AI-enabled Food Systems - Food Access Simulation and Modeling to Enhance Food Security
2025-06-17 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
ABSTRACT: The webinar will introduce how to utilize AI and CI resources to increase national and regional food access and security through scalable

food production-to-consumption flow modeling,
agent-based food access simulation and planning,
food logistics optimization, and
privacy-preserving frameworks that enable secure food organization data sharing and integration. This ICICLE project will support decision-makers in community organizations, government, and nonprofit organizations in understanding food distribution across multiple geographic and organizational scales. This is possible through the combination of efforts by developing and deploying various AI/CI components.

ICICLE AI Institute Webinar Series - Cyberinfrastructure for Biodiversity Research
2025-07-10 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
Researchers, Practitioners, Developers interested in exploring the benefits of field studies and emphasizing relationships with the biodiversity community here is an opportunity to learn from experts in the field !
When: Thursday, July 10, 2025 , 11AM – Noon EST
Zoom Link: https://osu.zoom.us/j/93195486710?pwd=[REDACTED]
ABSTRACT: Use-inspired cyberinfrastructure (CI) delivers efficacious, efficient, and context-aware data, software, and hardware to help research communities solve their problems. In biodiversity communities, drones, camera traps, and acoustic sensors are increasingly critical CI, enabling breakthroughs driven by data harvested in the field. However, many pressing intellectual shortfalls in biodiversity require coordinated, adaptive, and multi-modal sensing systems not supported by today’s CI for biodiversity research. This webinar will present Smart Fields, an interdisciplinary collaboration housed in the ICICLE AI Institute, that is developing novel, use-inspired CI to supercharge biodiversity research. By design, our CI emphasizes relationships with the biodiversity community and products that make field studies more effective, efficient, and affordable. With our CI as a backdrop, biodiversity researchers and practitioners are (1) exploring ambitious plans to develop a living lab at the largest conservation center in North America, (2) conducting field studies with integrated drones, camera traps, and acoustic sensors that adapt to each other, (3) making better use of a wide range of AI systems from species detection to code generation, and (4) enhancing existing CI for biodiversity.

2025-09-25 - 2025-09-26 | Carnegie Mellon University, 4804 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA, 15213, United States
Abstracts due July 15!
The annual Human-AI Complementarity for Decision Making Workshop will be held September 25–26, 2025, at the Cohon University Center, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
This is an incredible opportunity for faculty, researchers, and especially emerging scholars across all AI Institutes to get involved! The workshop features cutting-edge tutorials and an interactive poster session – perfect for sharing early-stage work and fostering new connections.
Sponsored by the NSF AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (NSF AI-SDM), and led by NSF AI-SDM PI Aarti Singh and Co-PI Cleotilde Gonzalez, the workshop explores the concept of Human-AI Complementarity—a condition where humans and AI systems working together outperform either working alone.
The 2025 theme focuses on flexible Human-AI teams: systems that align with human values, withstand unexpected behaviors, and remain robust even under failure. Sessions will focus on the flexibility and dynamics of Human-AI interactions for decision making, including but not limited to:

The role of AI agents in shaping human decision confidence and calibration
AI’s influence on trust, coordination, and collaboration
Addressing undesirable or failure-prone AI behaviors

Key goals of the workshop are to deliver cutting-edge instruction on achieving Human-AI complementarity, create common knowledge around emerging research challenges, and generate new ideas and concrete proposals for future research. Learn more!
