DESCRIPTION:Register to Attend \nPutting AI to Work: Technology and Policy for Enabling the Workforce of the Future\nWhen: Sept. 25 | 10:00 am -4:30 pm\, Reception to Follow \nWhere: 310 Banatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nAgenda & Registration: puttingaitowork.eventbrite.com \nArtificial Intelligence (AI)\, machine learning\, and assistive technologies will transform the future of work\, with wide-ranging effects on employment\, wages\, and income distribution. Despite dystopian forecasts of robots replacing workers\, AI and intelligent tools can also be applied to make the workforce more inclusive. As industries evolve\, how can AI be used to extend productive professional activity\, expand the available labor pool\, support lifelong learning\, and enhance human labor rather than replace it\, especially for the aging and those with disabilities? \nHosted by CITRIS and the Banatao Institute and Microsoft\, “Putting AI to Work” will bring together leading scholars\, practitioners\, industry representatives\, and community organizations to discuss the pace and extent of the effects of AI on the future of work in relation to aging and disability. Panelists will consider a range of issues regarding workforce\, technology and design trends for target populations\, and policy questions for a new era of automated and adaptive workplaces. \nPreliminary results from a CITRIS white paper will be presented\, sharing case study examples and recommendations for the private and public sectors to ensure development and application of AI that supports a diverse workforce and further strengthens social safety nets for all. \nClick Here to View Agenda & Register to Attend \nAdmission includes lunch and reception. Holders of “Faculty\, Staff or Students” and “Non-profit/Gov” tickets will receive a full refund after registering at and attending the symposium on Sept. 25. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Dr. Brandie Nonnecke (nonnecke@citris-uc.org)

SUMMARY:Xixi Zhu on “Building a Gene Therapy Company with Scarce Resources"
DESCRIPTION:Biotech * Gene Therapy * Startups \n“Building a Gene Therapy Company with Scarce Resources”\nXixi Zhu \nVice President\, Business Development and Operations \nDNAlite Therapeutics \nAbout the Speaker: \nXixi Zhu brings her operation and business development expertise to DNAlite Therapeutics. She was previously an analyst for venture capital funds Laurel Ventures (China)\, Forbion Capital Partners (The Netherlands)\, and 4Bio Capital Partners (United Kingdom) investing in early-stage therapeutics companies. Xixi holds an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise from Cambridge University and an MPhil in Neuroscience from University College London. \nDNAlite Therapeutics is an early-stage preclinical biotechnology company committed to bringing the next-generation of drugs to organs protected by mucus barriers. \nThe company was accelerated in the seventh cohort of the CITRIS Foundrystartup program and co-founded by UC Berkeley graduates Mubhij Ahmad\, M.S. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (’16) and Timothy Day\, Ph.D. Neuroscience (’17). \nTalk Abstract: \nThe outstanding innovation hubs arising throughout the Bay Area has made starting a biotechnology company as graduate students possible. Much like a science project\, the life of a start-up company is not straightforward\, but there are some common milestones from birth to growth and success or failure. Success is hardly replicable\, but we can learn how to not fail by learning from our predecessors’ mistakes. After all\, the only real preparation to build a company is by building a company. \nAbout the Series:\nLaunched in 2008\, the CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. Join us this fall to celebrate 10 years of innovative ideas and dialogue. \nLearn more about CITRIS and the Banatao Institute at the University of California. \n—- \nThe CITRIS Research Exchange is free and open to the public.

Please note any registrations made after 12pm on Monday will not receive a free complimentary lunch\, help yourself to leftovers after the Q&A session.\n\n  \nTalk abstract:\nMaking electric grids more intelligent\, resilient and carbon-neutral hinges on innovation at the distribution level\, the nexus between customers and the larger scale transmission system. A key challenge in this area has been the need for high-quality data\, to give visibility into the actual operating state of distribution networks. Five years ago\, a Berkeley-led team embarked on an ambitious ARPA-E funded project to develop a new type of sensor\, the micro-PMU\, and a new database to facilitate the use of these rich\, synchronized time-series measurements in grid operations and analysis. This talk will summarize outcomes of this project and some of the ongoing research\, at Berkeley and around the world\, that builds on the new technology. \n\n\n\n\n About the speaker: \nAlexandra (Sascha) von Meier is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley and directs the Electric Grid Research program at the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE). Her work is driven by the vision of a nimble\, adaptable and resilient electric power infrastructure that optimally recruits resources such as solar photovoltaics\, energy storage and electric demand response to support the transition to a carbon-neutral electric grid. Her current projects focus on the use of high-precision micro-synchrophasor measurements for situational awareness\, diagnostics and control applications in power distribution systems.\n\n\n  \n\nFree and open to the public.
