SUMMARY:Dialogue4Health: Telehealth Policy Update - Changes for 2021
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has driven unprecedented innovation and adoption of telehealth over the past year. Telehealth has increased healthcare access to those around the world\, especially in remote communities\, those with transportation challenges\, as well as individuals who experience limited physical mobility\, chronic illness\, or mental illness. Due to the pandemic and subsequent waivers in regulations and payment\, telehealth appointments skyrocketed in 2020. Temporary policies\, such as Medicare waivers\, were introduced at the beginning of the pandemic to encourage individuals\, with an emphasis on those at higher risk of contracting the virus\, to stay home and turn to telephone or video medical appointments or utilizing remote monitoring devices to help manage chronic illnesses. \nThe evolving challenges of providing remote point of care support for vulnerable populations through telehealth and telemedicine is a global challenge\, requiring changes in care practice\, innovations in the use of technology\, advances in clinician/patient communications\, and rapid change in reimbursement\, regulatory\, and work force processes. This final Web Forum\, presented by Mei Kwong of the Center for Connected Health Policy and Julie Bates of AARP California\, will highlight the promising opportunity and incentive to advance telehealth\, ultimately transforming health care as we know it\, both domestically as well as internationally. \nRegister to attend >

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.

SUMMARY:Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Using exhaled breath to diagnose COVID-19 with Cristina Davis \nSPEAKER: Cristina Davis\, Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, UC Davis \nABSTRACT: The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic is still truly unknown due to the unavailability of SARS-CoV-2 tests. The development of new types of diagnostics will greatly increase the global testing capacity. Additionally\, there are no methods available to track an individual’s health during COVID-19 infections outside of a clinical setting that could be predictive of prognosis\, such warning if mild cases are turning severe and require clinical intervention. \nOur research team has been developing rapid\, non-invasive diagnostic platforms for pulmonary viral infections through analysis of a person’s exhaled breath. Exhaled breath contains thousands of metabolites that not only provide diagnostic capabilities but also can be used to assess pulmonary health\, tracking disease progression and severity with samples that can be collected at home. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Dr. Davis is the Warren & Leta Geidt Endowed Professor and Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC Davis. She is an Associate Director of the UCD NIH-funded NCATS center on translational medicine. Her research focuses on mini analytical sensors for mobile chemical detection for biomedical monitoring and surveillance for precision medicine. She served as a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) for the United States Air Force (2014-2018)\, a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE)\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and National Academy of Inventors (NAI)\, and Co-Founder and Scientific Advisor to a UCD affiliated start-up based on her research. She is the chair-elect of the International Association of Breath Research (IABR). \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Cyber-relationality: Discerning the Limits and Potential for Connective Action
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Cyber-relationality Lecture | February 3\, 2021 | 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm | online via Zoom \nEvent Description: \nAs Indigenous social movements increasingly rely on social networking sites (SNS) toward connective action\, community groups also perceive the limitations of ICTs toward social change. For a range of reasons\, grassroots activists\, tribal elders\, cultural knowledge-keepers\, attorneys\, IT experts\, and law enforcement identify the vulnerabilities that radical uses of SNS introduce in already marginalized communities. Indigenizing SNS with regard for the colonial entanglements of social media platforms creates the grounds for discerning how Indigenous peoples carry protocols of respect\, belonging\, kinship\, and shared purpose into digital spheres. \nSpeaker:  \nMarisa Duarte\nAssistant Professor @Arizona State University \nMarisa Elena Duarte is a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe and is also related to the Mexican American families of the City of South Tucson. She is an assistant professor of justice and social inquiry through the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. She researches information\, knowledge\, and technology in the context of Indigeneity. Her 2017 book Network Sovereignty: Building the Internet across Indian Country investigates the relationship between sovereignty and the tribal command of Internet infrastructures. Her most recent work is on Indigenous feminist approaches to social media. \nAbout Indigenous Technologies \nIndigenous Technologies is a program of the Berkeley Center for New Media that engages questions of technology and new media in relation to global structures of indigeneity\, settler colonialism\, and genocide in the 21st century. Our Indigenous Tech events and ongoing conversations with Indigenous scholars and communities aim to critically envision and reimagine what a more just and sustainable technological future can look like. We will highlight Indigenous engagements with robotics\, computer science\, telecommunications\, artificial intelligence\, virtual reality\, social media\, online activism\, video games\, and more. \nRead a full description of the program and find more resources > \nAbout the History and Theory in New Media Lecture Series: \nThe History and Theory of New Media Lecture Series brings to the UC Berkeley campus leading humanities scholars working on issues of media transition and technological emergence. The series promotes new\, interdisciplinary approaches to questions about the uses\, meanings\, causes\, and effects of rapid or dramatic shifts in techno-infrastructure\, information management\, and forms of mediated expression. \nSponsors: \nA History and Theory of New Media Lecture is part of the Indigenous Technologies initiative\, co-sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS)\, the School of Information\, and the Center for Race and Gender Studies. \nRegistration info: Register for the Indigenous Cyber-relationality lecture using this link: Register online \nEvent Contact: shussain@berkeley.edu \nAccess Coordinator: Sophia Hussain\,  shussain@berkeley.edu\,  415-272-2200 \nWebcast: Event Live Stream.

SUMMARY:Labor and Automation in California Agriculture: Equity\, Productivity\, & Resilience with Tom Harmon
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Labor and Automation in California Agriculture: Equity\, Productivity\, & Resilience \nSPEAKER: Tom Harmon\, UC Merced Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering professor and Sierra Nevada Research Institute director. \nABSTRACT: An agricultural revolution driven by automation\, big data\, and artificial intelligence is upon us. This presentation will introduce an exciting new research effort being undertaken by an interdisciplinary team from the University of California Merced\, Berkeley\, Davis\, and Riverside campuses and UC Agriculture and Natural Resources. California is an agriculturally rich state\, yet its food system remains vulnerable to climate change\, regulatory change\, water availability\, labor shortages\, and unexpected disturbances. We know that automation improves efficiency. However\, to create a sustainable California agri-food system\, we must create a new model for agricultural technology (AgTech) design. This new design paradigm support more and better food while creating a vibrant future for workers and a healthy environment for future generations. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Tom Harmon is a Professor and Founding Faculty member at UC Merced\, where he serves as the Director of the Sierra Nevada Research Institute and the Chair of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. Professor Harmon’s research addresses a broad array of topics ranging from toxic waste site remediation\, to climate change impacts on watershed behavior\, leaf cutter ants and greenhouse gas emissions\, and developing transdisciplinary approaches to solving socio-environmental problems. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:EquiTensors: Learning Fair Integrations of Urban Mobility Data
DESCRIPTION:EquiTensors: Learning Fair Integrations of Urban Mobility Data\nSeminar | February 19 | 3-4 p.m. |  Online \nSpeaker: Bill Howe\, University of Washington \nSponsors: Institute of Transportation Studies\, CITRIS and the Banatao Institute\, College of Engineering \nBill Howe\, University of Washington Associate Professor in the Information School\, Adjunct Associate Professor in Computer Science & Engineering\, and Associate Director and Senior Data Science Fellow at the UW eScience Institute\, will present EquiTensors: Learning Fair Integrations of Urban Mobility Data at the Applications of Data Science and AI to Equity\, Race\, and Inclusion in Mobility and Transportation seminar series sponsored by the Institute of Transportation Studies\, College of Engineering\, and Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute on Feb. 19\, 3-4 p.m. \nRegister here >\nWatch on YouTube Live > \nThis Zoom seminar series “Applications of Data Science and AI to Equity\, Race\, and Inclusion in Mobility and Transportation” will bring a unique and innovative perspective to existing discussions around diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. Our aim is to reflect on and raise awareness of applications\, opportunities\, and potential misuses of data science and AI applied to mobility and transportation\, specifically as it refers to race\, equity\, and diversity. \nNeural methods are state-of-the-art for urban mobility prediction problems. Just as pre-trained text models are state-of-the-art for natural language processing applications and pre-trained image models are state-of-the-art for computer vision applications\, we are exploring pre-trained city models that can be reused across a variety of urban prediction tasks. We consider two key principles: 1) Model performance depends on making use of all available data (e.g.\, weather\, housing prices\, traffic\, etc.) because everything is interdependent; 2) All city data is polluted by systemic discrimination\, and model training will only reinforce that discrimination unless explicitly counteracted. \nIn this talk\, I’ll describe the EquiTensors project\, where we aim to learn fair\, reusable\, integrated representations of heterogeneous city data to improve performance of mobility prediction tasks while managing equity considerations. We first align source datasets to a consistent spatio-temporal domain\, then describe a self-supervised model based on convolutional denoising autoencoders to learn shared representations. We extend this core integrative model with adaptive weighting to prevent certain datasets from dominating the signal. To combat discriminatory signals in the data\, we use an adversarial model to “unlearn” correlations with a sensitive attribute (e.g.\, race or income). Experiments with 23 input datasets on multiple mobility applications show that the learned representations EquiTensors can simultaneously improve performance of downstream applications while mitigating discriminatory effects. \nI’ll end by describing our broader emphasis on “data equity systems.” As the deployment of automated decision tools continues to accelerate\, their interactions with fundamental questions in law\, in the social sciences\, and in public policy have become impossible to ignore. The technology holds the promise of reducing costs\, reducing errors\, and improving objectivity\, but there is enormous potential for harm: As we train algorithms on biased data\, we are amplifying\, operationalizing\, and\, most insidiously\, legitimizing the historical discrimination and opacity that the technology was in part intended to address. We argue that data systems research needs to broaden scope to explicitly model\, manage\, and communicate assumptions about the contexts in which they are deployed\, making equity issues a first-class design consideration. \nBill Howe is Associate Professor in the Information School and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in data management\, machine learning\, and visualization\, particularly as applied in the physical and social sciences. As Founding Associate Director of the UW eScience Institute\, Dr. Howe played a leadership role in the Moore-Sloan Data Science Environment program through a $32.8 million grant awarded jointly to UW\, NYU\, and UC Berkeley\, and founded UW’s Data Science for Social Good Program. With support from the MacArthur Foundation\, NSF\, and Microsoft\, Howe directs UW’s participation in the Cascadia Urban Analytics Cooperative. He founded the UW Data Science Masters Degree\, serving as its inaugural Program Chair\, and created a first MOOC on data science that attracted over 200\,000 students. His research has been featured in the Economist and Nature News\, and he has authored award-winning papers in conferences across data management\, machine learning\, and visualization. He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Portland State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech. \nEvent Contact: CA\, acairo@berkeley.edu \nAccess Coordinator: Amanda Cairo\,  acairo@berkeley.edu\,  510-642-5322

SUMMARY:Brick Consortium Virtual Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Brick is an open-source effort to standardize semantic descriptions of the physical\, logical and virtual assets in buildings and the relationships between them. This enables interoperability and communications between and among applications\, diagnostics\, and building systems. \nUC Berkeley was one of several organizations involved in the development of Brick; Johnson Controls is leading the Brick Industry Consortium to standardize and further develop Brick. \nThere will be two identical Open House sessions\, each running for two hours: \n\nTuesday\, February 23 at 8 AM US Pacific/11 AM Eastern/16:00 UTC/17:00 CET\nMonday\, March 1 at 5 PM US Pacific/8 PM US Eastern/9:00 AM Tuesday 2nd SGT/HKT\n\nThe sessions will be the same\, so there is no need to attend both. \nDuring the open house\, there will be: \n\nAn overview of the Brick Consortium\nA quick refresher on Brick and what it can do\nA quick tour of the “Brick source code” and how it’s implemented\, as well as existing open-source tools for using and working with Brick\nAn overview of the Brick working groups\nExamples of how Brick is being used in products now\n\nTime will be spent discussing the Brick Roadmap. While participants will learn what’s planned for Brick 1.3 and beyond\, this part will largely be an interactive discussion around \n\nIf you are a potential adopter of Brick\, what do you think is important to see in Brick?\n If you are a potential adopter of Brick\, what’s necessary for you to get Brick into your products?\nWhat are you willing to work on?\n\nThe session will be recorded. If you’re not able to attend\, a link will be provided after the event. \nBrick is open source and you do not need to be a member of the Brick consortium to use Brick or contribute to its development. However\, by being a Consortium member\, you will have more opportunities to shape the standard as well as helping to support future Brick development and research projects.

We’re on a mission to make beautiful\, high-performance bionic limbs accessible to anyone in the world. \nsmartARM got its start in 2018 when\, as a modest student project\, it received the top prize at Microsoft’s international technology competition\, Imagine Cup. In late 2019\, inspired by the constant support received by the limb different community\, it was clear that smartARM needed to be taken to the next level. By utilizing advanced 3D modelling and printing technology\, coupled with artificial intelligence and machine learning\, smartARM has transformed into a bionic prosthesis that users will both love and be able to afford. \nNo longer will an individual with a limb difference be forced to settle between cost and functionality. \nKen Goldberg\, Professor\, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research and William S.

SUMMARY:The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death\, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child with Morgan Ames
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death\, and Legacy of One Laptop per Child \nSPEAKER: Morgan Ames\, Assistant Adjunct Professor\, Berkeley School of Information\, and Associate Director of Research\, Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society\, UC Berkeley \nABSTRACT: Ames will discuss her book\, “The Charisma Machine\,” named Best Information Science Book of 2020\, to explore the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explain why—despite its failures—the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt.” Announced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte\, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South. Even as the project fell short in many ways\, it remained charismatic to many who were enchanted by its claims of a global transformation. Drawing on archival research and an ethnographic study of a model OLPC project\, Ames offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development. \nRegister to attend > \nBIO: Morgan G. Ames researches the ideological origins of inequality in the technology world\, with a focus on utopianism\, childhood\, and learning. The questions that drive her current projects concern the ways in which young people construct their identities with computers\, and how computers (and the technology design practices that produced them) shape the identities they construct. Morgan is an assistant adjunct professor in the Berkeley School of Information\, where she teaches in Data Science and administers the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in affiliation with the Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine\, and Society. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:Brick Consortium Virtual Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Brick is an open-source effort to standardize semantic descriptions of the physical\, logical and virtual assets in buildings and the relationships between them. This enables interoperability and communications between and among applications\, diagnostics\, and building systems. \nUC Berkeley was one of several organizations involved in the development of Brick; Johnson Controls is leading the Brick Industry Consortium to standardize and further develop Brick. \nThere will be two identical Open House sessions\, each running for two hours: \n\nTuesday\, February 23 at 8 AM US Pacific/11 AM Eastern/16:00 UTC/17:00 CET\nMonday\, March 1 at 5 PM US Pacific/8 PM US Eastern/9:00 AM Tuesday 2nd SGT/HKT\n\nThe sessions will be the same\, so there is no need to attend both. \nDuring the open house\, there will be: \n\nAn overview of the Brick Consortium\nA quick refresher on Brick and what it can do\nA quick tour of the “Brick source code” and how it’s implemented\, as well as existing open-source tools for using and working with Brick\nAn overview of the Brick working groups\nExamples of how Brick is being used in products now\n\nTime will be spent discussing the Brick Roadmap. While participants will learn what’s planned for Brick 1.3 and beyond\, this part will largely be an interactive discussion around \n\nIf you are a potential adopter of Brick\, what do you think is important to see in Brick?\n If you are a potential adopter of Brick\, what’s necessary for you to get Brick into your products?\nWhat are you willing to work on?\n\nThe session will be recorded. If you’re not able to attend\, a link will be provided after the event. \nBrick is open source and you do not need to be a member of the Brick consortium to use Brick or contribute to its development. However\, by being a Consortium member\, you will have more opportunities to shape the standard as well as helping to support future Brick development and research projects.

SUMMARY:Toward Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems in the Anthropocene with Sam Markolf
DESCRIPTION:TALK TITLE: Toward Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure Systems in the Anthropocene with Sam Markolf \nSPEAKER: Sam Markolf\, Assistant Professor\, UC Merced \nRegister to attend > \nABSTRACT: The Anthropocene\, informally referred to as the ‘Age of Humans’\, is not only characterized by humankind’s outsized influence on ecological and planetary systems\, but also pervasive and accelerating climatic\, technological\, social\, economic\, and institutional change that appears to be positioned as critical drivers of our future infrastructure and urban systems. This talk will discuss an evolving portfolio of work that outlines and analyzes some of the key issues\, implications\, and dynamics between infrastructure systems and emergent properties of the Anthropocene. Topics of focus include climate change and climate nonstationarity\, interdependencies between infrastructure systems\, complex interconnections between infrastructure and broader social-ecological systems\, and opportunities/challenges for applying artificial intelligence in this context. Ultimately\, it is posited that these (and other) emergent properties of the Anthropocene warrant consideration in the design\, implementation\, and management of infrastructure systems if broader sustainability and resilience objectives are to be met. \nBIO: Samuel Markolf is an assistant professor within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Merced\, where his research broadly focuses on applying systems-thinking to sustainability and resilience challenges facing cities and infrastructure systems. Prior to joining UC Merced\, he was an Assistant Research Professor at Arizona State University and a Research Fellow within the NSF-sponsored Urban Resilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN). Sam earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin\, Masters in Civil & Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a joint-Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering and Engineering & Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. \nABOUT SERIES: CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from academic\, industry\, and civic leaders.

SUMMARY:When the Chips are Down: Navigating Strengths and Strategic Vulnerabilities in the Semiconductor Industry
DESCRIPTION:When the Chips are Down: Navigating Strengths and Strategic Vulnerabilities in the Semiconductor Industry\nWednesday\, March 10\, 2021\n12:30 pm – 3:00 pm ET | 9:30 am – 12 pm PT\nRegister to attend > \nOverview \nJoin CITRIS and the Wilson Center’s Science and Technology Innovation Program for a closer look at the market dynamics and national security concerns associated with the semiconductor industry. \nIncreasingly\, semiconductors have been recognized for their unique role as a key component for promoting economic growth and scientific advancement as well as ensuring national security. Given recent shifts in the global semiconductor industry and the use-cases it supports as well as growing geostrategic competition between the U.S. and China\, the U.S. faces increasing pressure to locate timely and effective policy solutions. What global market dynamics and security concerns must be addressed\, and how? Our ability to effectively answer this pressing question relies on a nuanced understanding of the market and security dynamics at play in the semiconductor industry at home and abroad. Join us for this two-and-a-half-hour event where we will examine both the evolving global market and national security concerns in depth with leading experts in the field. \nThis event will be webcast live on the Wilson Center’s website; bookmark the page to stay informed of agenda updates. \nAgenda \nIntroduction – Meg King\, Director of the Science and Technology Innovation Program (STIP) at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars \nAdditional Remarks – Costas Spanos\, Director of CITRIS & the Banatao Institute\, University of California; Andrew S. Grove Distinguished Professor\, EECS\, UC Berkeley \nKeynote – Victoria Coleman\, Senior Advisor to the Director at CITRIS & the Banatao Institute\, University of California; Former Director of DARPA \nPanel: Competing in a Global Market – What are the market dynamics at play affecting the position of firms around design\, production\, and materials required to produce state-of-the-art integrated circuits? The recent focus has been on manufacturing facilities\, but is that sufficient? What will assure sustained innovation and supply for the firms using integrated circuits in their products\, noting that the needs of different industry segments are quite different? What U.S. policies hold the most promise for bolstering the competitiveness of producers and users of semiconductors? \n\nModerator: John Zysman\, Faculty Director of the Future of Work at CITRIS and Co-Director of BRIE; Professor Emeritus\, Political Science\, University of California\, Berkeley\nPanelists:\n\nAjit Manocha\, CEO of SEMI\nVladimir Bulović\, Director of MIT.nano\, Professor of Engineering\, MacVicar Fellow MIT\n\n\n\nPanel: Mitigating National Security Concerns – Growing attention has been paid to the national security implications of the semiconductor industry. Much of that conversation\, however\, is often simplified to a single concern: China. Yet\, the question is not simply\, ‘is China a national security concern’ but rather\, ‘how and why are we at risk and from whom’ and ‘what policy options provide the best leverage for addressing those risks.’ To that end\, this panel focuses on two sets of questions: framing the national security problem and assessing solutions. We will begin by exploring the types of security concerns present\, including the availability and security of supply chains\, cybersecurity concerns\, and critical dependencies in applications such as 5G and AI. We will then examine potential solutions\, including the role of international cooperation in developing solutions\, the strengths and shortcomings of the U.S. approach to date\, and how we navigate two sets of interests in practice: addressing pressing national security concerns and ensuring industry’s ability to innovate and compete on a global stage. \n\nModerator: Melissa K. Griffith\, Public Policy Fellow with the Science and Technology Innovation Program (STIP) at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; Non-Resident Research Fellow at the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC)\nPanelists:\n\nMeg Hardon\, Head of Government Affairs at Infineon Technologies\nEric W. Burger\, Research Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University\n\n\n\n
