ACM India Bootcamp on Responsible Computing
ACM India, in partnership with Kotak-IISc AI Center, Indian Institute of Science (Bengaluru), is pleased to announce a Bootcamp on Responsible Computing on 13-16 April 2023.
The 4-day program is geared towards professionals and senior researchers to get a deep perspective of different aspects of Responsible Computing. Eminent subject matter experts of international repute will conduct the sessions and combine it with several hands-on exercises.
Those interested in attending this bootcamp can register and make the respective payments. Seats are limited so hurry up and reserve your spot. You do not need to be an ACM member to register for this bootcamp (but it would be nice!)

About the Bootcamp on Responsible Computing
Data about almost every aspect of our life -- including our health, family, finance, work -- is digitized and processed. This implies that we, as computer engineers, scientists, and analysts, need to be vigilant about social/moral/legal implications of computing over such data. The challenges and concerns can be further exacerbated by the latest machine learning and data analysis techniques which pool in data from various sources and provide predictions about many critical use cases like loan disbursement, candidate application pruning etc.
The goal of this bootcamp is to holistically study this problem by first introducing the problem itself and studying various aspects of the problem such as privacy/security, public policy for responsible computing, human-computer interaction for ethical computing, and fairness in AI/ML techniques.
The bootcamp will bring together top researchers and faculty members working in the domain of responsible computing and provide a chance to interact closely with them to understand their viewpoints.
The hands-on instructions assume under-graduate level familiarity with standard computer science subjects including machine learning and artificial intelligence.
