SUMMARY:3rd NorCal Control Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Current challenges and future directions in automation\, systems\, and controls. \nGoals: Our overarching goal is to spark discussions around the following questions: What are the key challenges in the development of control and automation solutions to the complex problems of today? What are unique future opportunities and problems where control and automation would play a key role? How do we increase diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in our branches of engineering? \nThe 3rd NorCal Control Workshop provides a forum to bring together university students\, postdocs\, and faculty\, along with industry representatives\, working in the broad area of systems and control. The workshop aims to share knowledge and build new connections in the Northern California region. \n  \nFormat: The event is virtual. We will have pre-recorded 5-min student videos and slides\, and will use gather.town for interaction and networking. \nPrior Workshops: [2018] [2019] \nSponsors: We thank CITRIS People and Robots (CPAR) for generously sponsoring this workshop’s networking session.

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. Free and open to the public\, the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly dialogue highlighting leading voices on societal-scale technology challenges. Each one-hour seminar takes place on Wednesdays and starts at 12 pm. \nSign up to receive the latest news and updates from CITRIS: http://bit.ly/SubscribeCITRIS
