SUMMARY:Transformational Communications: Increasing Government Ambition in Public Engagement on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Transformational Communications: Increasing Government Ambition in Public Engagement on Climate Change\nWed\, Jun 24\, 2020\, 1:00 PM – 2:00 ET\nRegister > \nGovernments have failed to effectively engage people – 30 years after government committed in the Framework Convention to inform and educate their citizens\, people are still disturbingly ill-informed about what is causing it\, how urgent it is\, and how it will impact their lives. So how do we assert people’s legal (and moral) right to know\, and how can we transform our approach to engagement\, overcoming polarisation\, building a broad-based public mandate to support action. George will make the case that public engagement is essential for achieving our climate targets and discuss a major new international initiative to transform governments commitment to public engagement. \nSpeaker: George Marshall\, founder of Climate Outreach \nGeorge is the founder of Climate Outreach\, a non-profit based in Oxford UK that is Europe’s leading specialist in climate change communication. Their clients include the World Bank\, IPCC\, government around the world\, and most major environmental networks. He is the author of the acclaimed Don’t Even Think About It: Why Our Brains are Wired to Ignore Climate Change and presented the opening keynote at the BECC annual conference in 2018. This will be the sixth in a webinar series for the 2020 Behavior\, Energy & Climate Change Conference (BECC). \nMore info >

SUMMARY:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work \nPanelists include Elana Zeide (PULSE Fellow in Artificial Intelligence\, Law & Policy\, UCLA)\, Saurabh Sanghvi (Associate Partner\, McKinsey & Company)\, and Scott Mauvais (Director of AI & Global Partnerships\, Microsoft Philanthropies). Moderated by Brandie Nonnecke\, CITRIS Policy Lab Director. \nSummary:\nWhile a strong body of research has emerged on the ways emerging technologies\, especially artificial intelligence (AI)\, will disrupt private sector work\, less attention has been given to understanding these effects on public sector work and workers. Yet these technologies are increasingly being deployed in the public sector to address growing workload demands\, shortage of workers\, and budget constraints. \nIn collaboration with Microsoft\, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute will host a CITRIS Research Exchange panel to explore the effects of emerging technologies\, like machine learning-powered decision systems and robotic process automation\, within three public service sectors: education\, social services\, and law enforcement. Panelists will explore priority strategies to better ensure implementation of emerging technologies not only contribute to greater efficiency and effectiveness\, but also equity. The CITRIS Policy Lab will also release its white paper on the effects of emerging technologies on public sector work and priority technology and policy recommendations. \nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition \nSpeaker: Sarah Kurtz\, Professor\, School of Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) Sciences\, UC Merced \nBio: Sarah Kurtz obtained her Ph.D. in 1985 from Harvard University and now works at the University of California Merced after more than 30 years working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, in Golden\, CO. She is known for her contributions to developing multijunction\, GaInP/GaAs solar cells\, supporting the Concentrator Photovoltaic (PV) industry\, and leading efforts on PV performance and reliability. Her work has been recognized with a jointly received Dan David Prize in 2007\, the Cherry Award in 2012\, C3E Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016\, and induction into the National Academy of Engineering in 2020. At the University of California Merced\, she is working both to help the university grow and to support the Energy Transition through a variety of studies\, including a current effort on long-duration storage. \nAbstract: Photovoltaic solar electricity has grown much faster than was expected. Continuation of the historical growth rate would enable solar to generate as much electricity as the entire world uses by ~ 2030. California\, in particular\, has taken a leading role; 19% of electricity generated in 2018 in the state of California was from solar energy. However\, growth of solar is now slowing\, both worldwide and in California. As the state of California and many others around the world seek to move away from fossil fuels to a zero-carbon energy system\, it will be critical to maintain the momentum. Positive feedback has been helpful in the growth of solar so far. This talk will discuss how positive feedback loops can help accelerate the energy transition by taking a balanced approach. The talk will also discuss how choices we make in designing our new energy system can reduce or increase the size of the problem. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown \nSpeaker: Rachel Kuperman\, Founder & CEO\, Eysz Lab \nBio: Rachel Kuperman\, MD is the CEO and co-founder of Eysz\, an early stage startup developing a real-time\, machine-learning based remote monitoring solution to reliably detect seizures associated with loss of consciousness. Rachel co-founded Eysz to address the significant unmet need for identifying seizures outside of the hospital. The company spun out of her research showing that eye movement analysis can be used to detect seizures. The company has been recognized by the Epilepsy Foundation\, IEEE/NIH\, and most recently by the International Society for Optics and Photonics. Prior to co-founding Eysz\, Rachel ran the Pediatric Epilepsy Program and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for 10 years. She attended UCSF Medical School\, completed Child Neurology Fellowship at Columbia\, and then then completed at Epilepsy Fellowship at UCSF. \nAbstract: Neuroscience has made tremendous leaps and bounds in the last three decades. Sadly\, the outcomes for people with epilepsy have not changed significantly with costs more than tripling to 28 billion dollars per year. Why the big divide between research and clinical care? We will explore the barriers to translation and adoption of new technologies in the clinic. \nRegister to attend >

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 >

SUMMARY:Tracking the Few and Far Between: Computational Strategies to Speed the Discovery of Low-frequency Genomic Variation in COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The Colloquium on Digital Transformation is a series of weekly online talks on how artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, and big data can lead to scientific breakthroughs with large-scale societal benefit. The fall series focuses on COVID-19 mitigation research. \nSee details of upcoming and past talks at https://c3dti.ai/events/colloquium. \nUpcoming Events: \n\nNov 19\, 2020 01:00 PM\nNov 26\, 2020 01:00 PM\nDec 3\, 2020 01:00 PM\nDec 10\, 2020 01:00 PM\n\nTracking the Few and Far Between: Computational Strategies to Speed the Discovery of Low-frequency Genomic Variation in COVID-19\nDate: November 19\, 1 pm PT/4 pm ET\nSpeaker: Nancy Amato\, Head of the Department of Computer Science and Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign \nTo date\, the vast majority of COVID-19 genomic research has been focused on a high-level view of SARS-CoV-2 diversity\, overlooking the diversity of the viral population that exists within each COVID-19 positive patient. While viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in an individual can exceed hundreds of thousands of copies\, available genomic databases only contain a single consensus version of this diverse population\, discarding any low-frequency mutations. The goal of our project\, CoVariants\, is to develop novel computational approaches to recover these discarded variants and allow for rapid characterization of within-host diversity of SARS-CoV-2 across tens of thousands of samples. Commonly used computational tools either are not designed for the detection of low-frequency variants within viral populations\, or require significant computational resources per sample. In this talk\, we will describe how new parallelization strategies and approximate statistical methods can reduce the computational requirements of a widely used existing approach by up to 400 percent while preserving 100 percent of the low-frequency genomic diversity. We will end our talk by highlighting how we plan to use these improved computational methods to provide insight into the biological underpinnings of SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility and severity compared to other coronaviruses. \nNancy M. Amato is Abel Bliss Professor and Department Head of Computer Science at the University of Illinois. She received undergraduate degrees in Mathematical Sciences and Economics from Stanford\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and the University of Illinois\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Picture a STEMinist: Coded Bias
DESCRIPTION:Coded Bias\nLivestream Conversation\nMeredith Broussard\, danah boyd\, Valerie E. Taylor\, Seyi Olojo\, and Eden McEwen\nThursday\, November 19\, 6 PM PST\nMore information > \n“A deep dive into the ways algorithms repeat and reinforce the unconscious prejudices of their original programmers.”\n– STEPHANIE BUNBURY\, THE AGE \nJoin us for a live conversation and Q&A with data journalist Meredith Broussard\, associate professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and the author of Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World; danah boyd\, principal researcher at Microsoft Research\, founder of Data & Society\, and visiting professor at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program; Valerie E. Taylor\, director of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division and distinguished fellow at Argonne National Laboratory; and Seyi Olojo\, PhD candidate at the UC Berkeley School of Information. Moderated by Eden McEwen\, a physics and computer science major at UC Berkeley and a contributor to the student organization STEMinist Chronicles. Access is included with rental of the streaming film program; you will receive an access link via email prior to the event. \n“The revolutionary research of scientist\, artist\, and activist Joy Buolamwini proved that the accuracy of commercially available facial recognition software from the likes of Microsoft\, IBM\, and Amazon declined as soon as it was applied to anyone not male and white. Centering on Buolamwini’s work\, Coded Bias explores how the fallibility of artificial intelligence due to the implicit bias of its creators can have damaging real-world consequences. In conversation with Buolamwini and other scientists and activists\, including mathematician Cathy O’Neil and Big Brother Watch director Silkie Carlo\, the documentary shows how the widespread adoption of machine learning and automated decision making in financial services\, human resources\, voter registration\, and law enforcement makes the racial and gender bias embedded in artificial intelligence an urgent civil rights issue.” – Kate MacKay \n  \n  \n \n
