A38.00001: AI and its Computing Landscapes: Water Data, Climate Control, and Agricultural Technology Invited Speaker: Theodora Dryer Artificial Intelligence and automated decision-making systems rely on what I term ‘computing landscapes’ for data accumulation, algorithmic experimentation, and decision-making applications. Water data is a valuable information source extracted from these landscapes. |

A38.00002: The role of tech companies in governing and designing ethical systems Invited Speaker: Melissa Hall

A38.00003: An Ecological Approach to Data Governance Invited Speaker: Jasmine McNealy Data are currency. They provide the fuel for both decision-making and profit-making. Data offer evidence for enhancing health services, infrastructure, zoning, and for addressing environmental concerns. But data collection and use is spurring conflicts between cities, corporate and civil society organizations, and constituents on the grounds of data ownership, access, privacy, and security, spilling into the courts, the media, and public discourse. |
Monday, March 2, 2020 9:56AM - 10:11AM |
A38.00004: Physicists' Involvement in AI and AI Ethics Invited Speaker: Savannah Thais Physicists in many subfields are increasingly employing Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence techniques in their research; furthermore, in some cases physics principles and research are informing the development of new algorithms and learning methods. Physics and AI are now inextricably linked and thus physicists must critically consider the broader impact of AI developments on people and society. This talk will summarize current areas of physics-informed AI research and will provide suggestions and context for how physicists can meaningfully engage in these discussions. |
