Designing AI to Complement Humanity

presented by Barbara Grosz

I think one of the things I want to say from the start is it’s not like AI is going to appear. It’s actu­al­ly out there, in some instances in ways that we nev­er even notice.

Artificial Intelligence: Challenges of Extended Intelligence

presented by Joi Ito

Machine learn­ing sys­tems that we have today have become so pow­er­ful and are being intro­duced into every­thing from self-driving cars, to pre­dic­tive polic­ing, to assist­ing judges, to pro­duc­ing your news feed on Facebook on what you ought to see. And they have a lot of soci­etal impacts. But they’re very dif­fi­cult to audit.

Artificial Intelligence: Education and Personalized Learning

presented by Cynthia Breazeal

I think there are count­less amaz­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and its impact on soci­ety. I think one of the areas I’m tru­ly the most excit­ed about is education.

The Geographic Opportunities and Challenges of AI

presented by Malavika Jayaram

I think devel­op­ments in arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence do pose a strong chal­lenge for human­i­ty. I think at a very fun­da­men­tal lev­el, peo­ple don’t quite under­stand what arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence is, yet it’s used as a buzz­word that’s going to solve every sin­gle problem.

Artificial Intelligence: Society in the Loop

presented by Iyad Rahwan

Some of the long-term chal­lenges are very hypothetical—we don’t real­ly know if they will ever mate­ri­al­ize in this way. But in the short term I think AI pos­es some reg­u­la­to­ry chal­lenges for society.

The Conversation #47 — Oliver Porter

presented by Aengus Anderson, Micah Saul, Oliver Porter

To me…we all draw our sat­is­fac­tion from what we our­selves have been able to do with our lives. And if some­body, some gov­ern­ment or some­one else is just giv­ing to me, I’m not going to be a hap­py person.

Rise of the Hacker Industrial Complex

presented by Niloofar Howe

We have basi­cal­ly lost con­trol over our net­work. All of the advances that have made our lives more pro­duc­tive, more acces­si­ble, more con­nect­ed, have fun­da­men­tal­ly dis­in­ter­me­di­at­ed our abil­i­ty to pro­tect our envi­ron­ments. The democ­ra­ti­za­tion of infor­ma­tion, of tech­nol­o­gy, of goods and ser­vices, of bank­ing, of finan­cial trans­ac­tions with blockchain etc., means every aspect of our lives has become acces­si­ble and there­fore vulnerable.

Hardware, Software, Trustware

presented by Andreas Antonopoulos

The cul­ture gap at the cen­ter of the debate we’re hav­ing today is a cul­ture gap between peo­ple who build hard­ware and peo­ple who build soft­ware. And those cul­tures have been diverg­ing since the 1950s.

Brooklyn Talks: Iggy Pop and Jeremy Deller with Tom Healy

presented by Iggy Pop, Jeremy Deller, Tom Healy

I use my body, as a lot of peo­ple do that work in pub­lic, as a kind object of com­merce, frankly. When I go out and do a gig, some­body has to pay for the pres­ence. And that’s a cer­tain gig. When you’re still push­ing a hype like that, you lack cul­tur­al weight until you get to the end of that sto­ry where every­body knows you real­ly don’t have to any­more except for an inte­ri­or reason.

Mythophysics of the New Normal

presented by Kevin Slavin, Warren Ellis

The future is on the whole a won­der­ful thing because it will bring us new things that we haven’t seen before. And that’s why we stick around.

Some Random Transcripts

The Internet of Agreements
presented by Vinay Gupta

I was looking for the tools that you could use to solve global problems in an environment when the nation-state has turned out to be a very very ineffective set of machinery at all. So I'm going to talk a little bit about the technology. I'm going to talk a little bit about what it does and where it's going. And then I'm going to try and tell a story about the kind of global long-term picture that we could get if this stuff actually works. Read more →

Werner Zorn’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech
presented by Werner Zorn

For me it is a fairy tale quite similar to that of the ugly duckling. Perhaps you know. And from the ugly duckling we can learn if you are in such a miserable situation what to do. And what did the little ugly duckling [do]? It went into the world and look for birds of the same feather. Read more →

2019 Internet Hall of Fame Inductee Interviews: Michael Stanton
presented by Michael Stanton

This is something which we believe has to be stressed, that there are users which cannot be served by the commercial networks at the moment at a decent price. Everything eventually comes down to price and the idea of being able to have aggregated networks which can be used by high-performance users as well as the less-aggressive people, if you like, can be built and operated economically if you have the right conditions.

Computers That Just Work
presented by Vinay Gupta

Everybody thinks of bureaucrats as being kind of a neutral force. But I'm going to make the case that bureaucrats are in fact a very strongly negative force, and that automating the bureaucratic functions inside of our society is necessary for further human progress. Read more →

Ira Fuchs’ Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech
presented by Ira Fuchs

People have asked me, "Why did you create BITNET?" Well, the truthful answer is I was envious of ARPANET users. They had access to the most exciting technology at the time. But ARPANET, as you know, was only available to a relatively small group of developers and researchers. And we didn't know if it would ever be made available to others. Read more →
