We are now accepting applications for the in-residence SITE program from qualified graduate and post-graduate students in Philosophy and closely related fields. Thanks to the generosity of the Templeton World Charity Foundation, Inc. through a Diverse Intelligences grant, a stipend will be provided to all applicants who complete the in-residence program. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting on January 10, 2020, closing on January 26, 2020 Decision notifications will be sent by February 17, 2020. The in-residence program for grad students and postdocs will be led by internationally recognized faculty experts in AI ethics. In parallel, Markkula Center experts in technology and AI ethics will offer a non-residence curriculum for working technologists. These two SITE cohorts will have multiple opportunities to interact and collaborate as well as engage with other stakeholders in public fora, with the goal of enhancing the rigor and interdisciplinary character of moral expertise in AI and technology ethics shared by academics and working technologists. Program Faculty The in-residence program is co-led by two distinguished experts in AI ethics: *Shannon Vallor* (currently the Regis and Dianne McKenna Professor of Philosophy at Santa Clara University, and the incoming Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh) and *John Sullins* (Professor of Philosophy at Sonoma State University and co-Director of the Center for Ethics, Law and Society). Vallor received the World Technology Award for Ethics in 2015, and in 2011 Sullins was honored with the Herbert A. Simon Award for Outstanding Research in Computing and Philosophy by the International Association for Computing and Philosophy.
