Who We Are
The Neural Networks Technical Committee (NNTC) is established to promote the research, development, education, and understanding of neural networks, including both artificial and biologically plausible neural networks.
What We Do
The NNTC engages in various activities to promote neural networks as a viable technology, including but not limited to the following:
- Identify and promote new areas of research
- Propose special sessions to the CIS-sponsored conference organizers
- Participate in paper review and selection for CIS-sponsored conferences and publications
- Coordinate with the International Neural Network Society for the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks
- Recommend candidates to the Awards Committee for the CIS Neural Networks Pioneer Award and the Technical Field Award
- Nominate papers for Best Paper Awards to the Awards Committee from papers published in the Transactions on Neural Networks
- Promote IEEE Senior Members and Fellows program
- Collaborate on production of tutorials and book series with the Multimedia Committee
- Maintain the Committee website
- Facilitate local chapters activities an organize specialized workshops or meetings
- Assist in soliciting conference proposals and actively work with the organizers of CIS-sponsored conferences to insure their technical excellence.

Ethical, Legal, Social, Environmental and Human Dimensions of AI/CI (SHIELD)
Who We Are
Ethical, Legal, Social, Environmental and Human Dimensions of AI/CI (SHIELD) is established to create a vibrant environment within the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) to provide a platform to bring together the many dimensions (not limited to ethical, social, legal, economic, cultural, environmental, and human) which are required to research, innovate, develop and deploy responsible and trustworthy CI/AI for humanity.
What We Do
SHIELD has five main goals:
- To create a vibrant environment within IEEE CIS to innovate, implement and evaluate the ethical, social, legal, economic, cultural, environmental, and human dimensions of AI/CI on society.
- To examine how trust in CI/AI can be achieved through stakeholder engagement and co-production in research and innovation.
- To continually review (and provide opinion on) current and emerging global legalisation and standards in the field of AI and data driven technologies.
- To promote and organise technical activities (special sessions, panel discussions, special issues, workshops, etc) on the ethical, social, legal, economic, environmental, and human dimensions of CI/AI technologies.
- To instigate change in the professional practice of researchers through consequence scanning practices and the embedding of ethical practices as a norm.
SHIELD will focus on proposing technical /practical solutions to assess the impact of CI/AI across the dimensions of ethical, social, legal, economic, cultural, environmental, and human, amongst others. This work will be interdisciplinary in nature, cultivating additional experts in CI/AI, social science, phycology, law, ethicist, communications, environmental science, education, business, and engineering.
