SUMMARY:Inclusive AI: Technology and Policy for a Diverse Urban Future
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, algorithms that enable machines and systems to automate decisions and processes\, shape our daily lives. These largely hidden systems determine how data is gathered\, analyzed\, and presented directly to us or used to make decisions on our behalf. With rapid global urbanization\, AI promises not only to drive progress and increase efficiencies within critical public service areas but also offers the potential to develop new markets and support economic growth. At the same time\, AI can exacerbate negative effects when it reinforces social biases and inequalities–whether by design or unintentionally. Far from remaining a “virtual threat\,” the consequences of ill-considered algorithms can have damaging effects in the real world. \nThe Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute and Microsoft will host a symposium dedicated to exploring the effects of AI-enabled technologies on labor\, law enforcement\, and public services. The symposium will highlight AI research and its implementation in the urban environment and will raise questions regarding effects of AI on cultural\, social\, political and economic inclusion. Leaders from academia\, industry\, and government will discuss the benefits and risks of AI-enabled technologies for labor markets and urban management\, and how to promote development and application of AI while identifying and managing potential risks. CITRIS will present preliminary insights from a study of the role of AI-enabled technologies in urban environments. \nWednesday\, May 10\, 2017\n10:30 AM to 5:00 PM (PDT)\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\nUC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n  \nSponsored by: \n \n  \n  \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Shadow Regulation of the Internet with Jeremy Malcolm - CITRIS Research Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Shadow Regulation of the Internet with Jeremy Malcolm\nTalk Abstract\nIn the early days of the Internet\, there was a debate about whether it should be regulated in the same way as we regulate offline spaces\, or whether cyberspace was a separate domain that shouldn’t be subject to the laws of nation states. Nowadays\, it’s commonplace for national legislatures and court systems to regulate the Internet in various ways\, so we rarely hear this argument anymore. But the problems of conflicts between national legal systems and the architecture of the borderless Internet still remain. That’s why\, increasingly\, the Internet is being regulated in a different way\, that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has dubbed Shadow Regulation. If that phrase sounds a little ominous\, this talk will explain why. \nWed\, September 20\, 2017\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n \nJeremy Malcolm is Senior Global Policy Analyst at Electronic Frontier Foundation\, where he works on the international dimensions of issues such as intellectual property\, network neutrality\, Internet governance\, and trade. Jeremy graduated with degrees in Law (with Honours) and Commerce in 1995 from Murdoch University\, and completed his PhD thesis at the same University in 2008 on the topic of Internet governance. Jeremy’s background is as an information technology and intellectual property lawyer and IT consultant. He is admitted to the bars of the Supreme Court of Western Australia (1995)\, High Court of Australia (1996) and Appellate Division of New York (2009). \nCITRIS Research Exchange Fall 2017 Series\nFree and open to the public\, the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly dialogue highlighting leading voices on societal-scale research issues.

SUMMARY:A Deeper Look at Deep Decarbonization Pathways for the U.S. Economy with Karl Hausker
DESCRIPTION:A Deeper Look at Deep Decarbonization Pathways for the U.S. Economy with Karl Hausker\nWed\, October 11\, 2017\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Karl Hausker is a Senior Fellow in World Resource Institute’s Global Climate Program. He leads analysis and modeling of domestic climate mitigation scenarios\, and he contributes to work on the New Climate Economy\, the social cost of carbon\, and energy access. He has worked for 28 years in the fields of climate change\, energy\, and environment in a career that has spanned legislative and executive branches\, research institutions\, NGOs\, and consulting. He has led climate policy analysis and modeling projects for USAID\, USEPA\, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative\, the Western Climate Initiative\, and the California Air Resources Board. Much of his work has focused on the energy and transportation sectors\, and on low carbon\, climate resilient development strategies. He received his MPP and PhD from Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy. \nTalk Abstract:\nDr. Hausker will present the results of two recent studies that analyze pathways the US could follow in the transition to a low-carbon economy. The reports\, From Risk to Return: Investing in a Clean Energy Economy (sponsored by Risky Business) and the United States Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization (the US official submission to the UNFCCC\, Nov. 2017) present a range of pathways that can achieve deep reductions in CO2 emissions between now and 2050. These pathways involve mixtures of: electrification of the economy\, energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, nuclear power\, and carbon capture and storage. Dr. Hausker will place these recent studies in the context of the findings of other relevant studies and explore how assumptions regarding the availability\, performance\, and integration of various technologies drive the energy\, environmental and economic implications of the modeled pathways. Implications for energy policy and R&D portfolios will be explored. \n—————–\nFree and open to the public. Register online by Monday for a free lunch at UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Building a 21st Century Democracy with Marci Harris
DESCRIPTION:Building a 21st Century Democracy\nWed\, October 18\, 2017\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nTalk Abstract \nThe internet has exponentially increased the public’s ability to follow and weigh in on current issues\, though the tone and quality of public debate has arguably declined. Increased access has not lead to better policy or a more functioning governing system… yet. The limitations of first generation digital engagement are not merely technical; they are inextricably intertwined with the legacy governing systems to which they connect. Our system is due for upgrade. \nAbout the speaker: \nMarci Harris is cofounder and CEO of POPVOX\, a neutral\, nonpartisan platform for legislative information and civic engagement. Before POPVOX\, Marci was tax\, trade\, and health counsel to Congressman Pete Stark\, and a member of the Ways and Means Health Subcommittee team for the Affordable Caer Act. She holds a B.A. in International Relations from Franklin College in Lugano\, Switzerland; a J.D. from the University of Memphis; and an LL.M. from the American University Washington College of Law. She was an inaugural Technology and Democracy Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Ash Center in 2016 and a 2017 New America California fellow. \n—————–\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Bots and Tots with Hal Varian
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, January 31\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the speaker:  \nHal R. Varian is the Chief Economist at Google. He started in May 2002 as a consultant and has been involved in many aspects of the company\, including auction design\, econometric analysis\, finance\, corporate strategy and public policy. He is also an emeritus professor at the University of California\, Berkeley in three departments: business\, economics\, and information management. He received his SB degree from MIT in 1969 and his MA in mathematics and Ph.D. in economics from UC Berkeley in 1973. He has also taught at MIT\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Michigan and other universities around the world. Dr. Varian is a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Econometric Society\, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was Co-Editor of the American Economic Review from 1987-1990 and holds honorary doctorates from the University of Oulu\, Finland and the University of Karlsruhe\, Germany. Professor Varian has published numerous papers in economic theory\, industrial organization\, financial economics\, econometrics and information economics. He is the author of two major economics textbooks which have been translated into 22 languages. He is the co-author of a bestselling book on business strategy\, Information Rules: A Strategic Guide to the Network Economy and wrote a monthly column for the New York Times from 2000 to 2007. \nTalk Abstract: \nMany observers speculate that automation will reduce the overall demand for labor in the near-term future.  This may or may not be the case\, but it is virtually certain that changes in the demographic composition of the population will reduce the supply of labor in most developed countries over the next 2-3 decades.  The impact on wages and income will depend on the relative magnitude of these two effects. \n  \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:"The Horrors of Fake News Today - Can it be Stopped?" with Ash Bhat and Rohan Phadte
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 7\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \n  \nAsh Bhat \nAt the age of 16\, Ash had sold a software company that built personalized mobile applications for high schools and school districts. His junior year of high school\, he dropped out of school and co-founded 1StudentBody. \nAt 1StudentBody\, Ash built applications that were used in over a third of all US high schools\, recruited and led the mobile engineering team\, and assisted in raising millions of dollars in venture capital. In 2014\, Ash founded Tetherball\, a company focused on building peer to peer solutions for internet connectivity. The company was acquired in 2015. \nCurrently\, Ash is focusing his time on projects around social impact. In 2017\, he launched RoBhat Labs\, with his college roommate Rohan\, a company focused on tackling the spread of fake news and misinformation. \nRohan Phadte \nAt the age of 13\, Rohan had delved into the world of robotics\, when he first built his own pathfinding robot. In high school\, he developed auto-tracking machine vision algorithms and was invited to national level robotic competitions. \nIn 2014\, he conducted research at NASA Ames Research Center\, focusing on nano-satellite data collection technology and positional satellite tracking. More recently\, Rohan’s focus shifted into the artificial intelligence and cryptography space. Since then\, he has developed natural language processing algorithms for online social media platforms and perception algorithms for companies in the self-driving car industry. \nNow\, Rohan applies state-of-the-art machine learning methods to prevent the spread of misinformation and fake news along with his co-founder Ash. \n\nAbstract: \nFake news played a role in the 2016 elections and have only become a larger issue since then. From compromised accounts spreading propaganda to websites that imitate legitimate new organizations\, fake news can be seen everywhere. Together we’ll see how misinformation spreads\, where it exists\, and talk through potential paths that we can take to tackle this issue. \n— \n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:"Human Organs Chips for Drug Development\, Disease Modeling\, and Precision Medicine" with Dr. Kevin Healy
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 14\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the speaker: \nKevin E. Healy\, Ph.D. is the Jan Fandrianto and Selfia Halim Distinguished Professor in Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley in the Departments of Bioengineering\, and Materials Science and Engineering. He served as Chair of the Department of Bioengineering from 2011 to 2015. He received a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Rochester in 1983. He obtained graduate degrees in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania (Mechanical Engineering: 1985; Ph.D.: 1990). He is a thought leader and innovator working at the interface between stem cells and materials science to develop dynamic engineered systems to explore both fundamental biological phenomena and new applications in translational medicine. His group currently conducts research in the areas of: bioinspired stem cell microenvironments to control stem cell lineage specification and self-organization into microtissues or organs; bioinspired systems for regenerative medicine; biological interfaces; and\, microphysiological systems for drug toxicity screening. Major discoveries from his laboratory have centered on the control of cell fate and tissue formation in contract with materials that are tunable in both their biological content and mechanical properties. These materials find applications in medicine\, dentistry\, and biotechnology. \nTalk Abstract: \nOur work has emphasized creating both healthy and diseased model organ systems\, we call microphysiological systems or ‘organ chips’\, to address the broken drug discovery process. The average time to develop and launch a new drug is 10-15 years\, and costs ~ $5b. The poor efficiency and high failure rates are attributed to the heavy reliance on non-human animal models employed during safety and efficacy testing that poorly reflect human disease states. With the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem cells\, we can now develop organ chips to be used for high content drug screening\, disease modelling\, and precision medicine. While organ chips are poised to disrupt the drug development process and significantly reduce the cost of bringing a new drug candidate to market\, organ chip technology is much more robust and creates a whole new paradigm in how to conduct biological science\, and advances medicine in revolutionary ways. While chips featuring single organs can be of great use for both pharmaceutical testing and basic organ-level studies\, the huge potential of organ chip technology is revealed by connecting multiple organs on a single chip to create a scalable integrated human system for mechanistic biological studies and devising therapies for common\, rare\, and difficult to study diseases. Ultimately\, the vision is to reduce or eliminate the use of animals in drug discovery\, and conduct ‘clinical trials’ in patient-specific organ chips that can accommodate variations in genetics\, environment\, and lifestyle. \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:“Technology Development for the Field of Regenerative Medicine” with Jan Nolta
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, February 21\, 2018\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT\nBanatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nRegister to Attend \nAbout the Speaker: \nJan A. Nolta\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of the Stem Cell Program at UC Davis School of Medicine\, and directs the Institute for Regenerative Cures. She also serves as the Scientific Director of the large UC Davis Good Manufacturing Practice Facility\, and as Scientific Director of the California State Umbilical Cord Blood Collection Program. She has been ranked as one of the “Global Top 50 Most Influential People in the Field of Stem Cells.” \nTalk Abstract: \nThe fields of stem cells\, immunotherapy\, gene therapy and regenerative medicine are poised to change the face of healthcare. Immunotherapy is giving terminal cancer patients a second chance at life\, gene therapy can cure rare diseases\, and living stem cells and other cell and cultured tissue therapies are beginning to be prescribed for certain indications. Gene editing offers unprecedented opportunity to alter stem cell genomes to make lasting cures for monogenic disorders\, including countless rare diseases. This changes the fields of medicine\, nursing\, and pharmacy\, since the new generations of healthcare students will need to learn how to handle drugs that are not pills or liquids in a vial\, but rather are living\, often cryopreserved\, biological medicines. Manufacturing\, preparation and delivery will be performed by large teams of experts with different expertise and backgrounds\, including those with cell biology and manufacturing knowledge\, in addition to experts in medicine\, surgery\, imaging\, monitoring\, outcomes\, health technology and statistical analysis. New technologies are needed to streamline the manufacturing\, formulating\, and administration of the cell and gene therapy products. Telehealth technology is proving useful for remote patients’ healthcare and we are leveraging it\, through our UC Davis TeleHealth program and Alpha Stem Cell Clinic\, to help recruit patients to clinical trials and developing programs for more effective follow-up. \n—————– \nFree and open to the public.
