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.

Disposable Life: Griselda Pollock
presented by Griselda Pollock

At the intersection of the politics of art or literature or film and political theory, I've been thinking about disposable life through a number of lenses, particularly through work on the Holocaust and work that I've been doing with Max Silverman on a slightly different element of it called "concentrationary memory."

Loving Out Loud in a Time of Hate Speech
presented by Jillian C York

Dangerous speech, as opposed hate speech, is defined basically as speech that seeks to incite violence against people. And that's the kind of speech that I'm really concerned about right now. That's what we're seeing on the rise in the United States, in Europe, and elsewhere. Read more →

Performing States
presented by Eleanor Saitta

We have now in twenty years moved half the world's population, give or take, to one city. And we all live in one city. And we keep walking out into the street and getting pasted by trams. And we don't even understand what the trams are. We not only do not know how to live together online, we don't even really understand that it's a problem. Read more →
