Two CITRIS PIs, Camille Crittenden and Samuel King, have been selected for UC Noyce Initiative funding as part of a $3.4 million award cycle supporting computational health and cybersecurity research across the University of California system.
Crittenden, executive director of CITRIS, is a co-principal investigator on “Children’s Privacy in AI Chatbots,” a collaboration among UC Berkeley, UC Davis and UC Irvine addressing risks in AI systems used by young users.
King, professor of computer science and CITRIS director at UC Davis, leads “Building secure-by-design AI systems,” a multi-campus effort with UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara to strengthen the security and reliability of AI technologies.
The awards support interdisciplinary teams developing solutions in areas including data privacy and trustworthy AI, advancing technologies designed to serve the public good.
