SUMMARY:The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values with Brian Christian
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values \nSPEAKER: Brian Christian\, author and visiting scholar at UC Berkeley \nABSTRACT: With the incredible growth of machine learning (ML) over recent years has come an increasing concern about whether ML systems’ objectives truly capture their human designers’ intent: the so-called “alignment problem.” Over the last five years\, these questions of both ethics and safety have moved from the margins of the field to become arguably its most central concerns. The result is something of a movement: a vibrant\, multifaceted\, interdisciplinary effort to address the alignment problem head-on\, which is producing some of the most exciting research happening today. Brian Christian\, visiting scholar at CITRIS and author of the acclaimed bestsellers “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By\,” will survey this landscape of recent progress and the frontier of open questions that remain. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Brian Christian is the author of the acclaimed bestsellers\, “The Most Human Human” and “Algorithms to Live By” (with Tom Griffiths)\, which have been translated into nineteen languages. A visiting scholar at the CITRIS Policy Lab\, the Scientific Communicator in Residence at the Simons Institute\, and an Affiliate of the Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence\, he lives in San Francisco. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. Free and open to the public\, the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly dialogue highlighting leading voices on societal-scale technology challenges. Each one-hour seminar takes place on Wednesdays and starts at 12 pm. \nSign up to receive the latest news and updates from CITRIS: http://bit.ly/SubscribeCITRIS

SUMMARY:Blockchain for the Public Good Panel
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Blockchain for the Public Good Panel \nSpeaker(s): Panelists include Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director\, Hyperledger)\, Ben Bartlett (Partner\, Tackett Bartlett LLP)\, and Michele Benedetto Neitz (Professor of Law\, Golden Gate University School of Law). Moderated by Camille Crittenden\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute. \nAbstract: Blockchain technology has gained notoriety over the past decade as a platform for cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin\, which has been used for illicit exchange of weapons and drugs\, as well as paying off hackers whose ransomware holds computer systems hostage. At the same time\, researchers and developers have been exploring the use of blockchain and the broader domain of distributed ledger technology for more beneficial applications\, such as in healthcare\, education\, property title\, and public finance. \nCalifornia lawmakers commissioned a task force in 2019 to study the potential of blockchain for public sector applications by creating the Blockchain Working Group. The 20-member group\, including those speaking today\, comprised experts in computer science\, cybersecurity\, information technology\, law\, and policy. We were charged with drafting a working definition of blockchain\, providing advice to State offices and agencies considering blockchain platforms\, and offering guidance to policymakers to foster an open and equitable regulatory environment for the technology in California. \nThis talk will draw on the panelists’ expertise in the fundamental computer science and security concerns of blockchain\, its applications for public finance\, and ethical considerations of its development. We will also discuss the experience of working with a broad group of stakeholders to create a roadmap for policymakers\, CIOs\, and other leaders considering blockchain solutions for public sector applications. \nRegister to attend >
