The University of Virginia\u2019s School of Data Science is partnering with Tamara Kneese and the Data and Society Research Institute to examine the social and environmental impact of AI.<\/p>\n
The National Science Foundation recently awarded the project a two-year, $300,000 grant.<\/p>\n
Working with the Data and Society Research Institute, Hicks and Reia will examine what effects large data centres that are built by AI companies have on the physical environment and community life in the areas in which they reside.<\/p>\n
