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:Data\, Global Challenges\, and Planetary Management
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Data\, Global Challenges\, and Planetary Management \nSpeaker: Sol Hsiang\, Professor\, Goldman School of Public Policy\, UC Berkeley \nBio: Hsiang earned a BS in Earth\, Atmospheric and Planetary Science\, and a BS in Urban Studies and Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and he received a PhD in Sustainable Development from Columbia University. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Applied Econometrics at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Science\, Technology\, and Environmental Policy at Princeton University. Hsiang is currently the Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley\, a Director of the Climate Impact Lab\, a Research Associate at the NBER\, and a National Geographic Explorer. \nAbstract: Solomon Hsiang directs the Global Policy Laboratory at UC Berkeley\, where researchers are integrating econometrics\, spatial data science\, and machine learning to answer questions that are central to managing planetary resources. He will discuss their work and its impact on policy-making\, including the economics of climate change\, UN treaties that govern ecosystems\, applying machine learning to global satellite imagery\, and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hsiang will explain why the future of effective and fair global policy will be driven by data science. \nRegister to attend >
