ABOUT
EthicalGuard Competition
This competition explores ethical manufacturing by designing tools to ensure the ethics of the product for digital manufacturing. Our goal is to promote the ethical use of AI, particularly in manufacturing, and support initiatives like a no-gun policy on university campuses across the U.S.
The competition includes two tracks: Non-technical and Technical.
Eligibility: Open to all registered undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. students from UB and UGA.
