Forbidden Research: Sexual Deviance: Can Technology Protect our Children?

presented by Christina Couch, Ethan Zuckerman, Kate Darling, Ron Arkin

One of the big things that we’re going to talk about here is para­phil­ia. We’re going to talk about sex­u­al deviance. We’re going to talk about the prob­lem of peo­ple whose sex­u­al desires lead to attrac­tion to chil­dren, lead to attrac­tion towards vio­lent sex, lead to sex­u­al trans­gres­sion in one fash­ion or another.

Imaging the Health of Our Planet

presented by Gabrielle Thomas

The inter­est­ing thing is not just fig­ur­ing out what one plant needs, but doing it on the scale of a mil­lion plants. This is where imag­ing can help. Capturing the detail, but from a dis­tance. Some farm­ers already used drones or oth­er air­craft to do just that. But these are not tools avail­able to all. I want to ask what if pre­ci­sion agri­cul­ture could be a ser­vice acces­si­ble to any­one on the planet?

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.

Qiheng Hu’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Qiheng Hu

This hon­or for me is too high. At this excit­ing moment, my sin­cere grat­i­tude first of all goes to the ini­tia­tors and cre­ators of the great Internet, which has changed and is chang­ing the world, includ­ing my country.

Aaron Swartz’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

presented by Aaron Swartz

Aaron fought tire­less­ly to make infor­ma­tion free, and keep the Internet free, and to make aca­d­e­m­ic research avail­able for free, among oth­er things.

Stephen Kent’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Stephen Kent

It occurred to me belat­ed­ly that I real­ly should just tweet my accep­tance speech. Except I don’t have Twitter account, so that makes it harder.

Steve Goldstein’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Steve Goldstein

As I was com­ing over toward Brussels in the air­plane, hap­pened look down the win­dow and there were the Straits of Dover. And the melody just came to my mind, you know, ​“I’m fly­ing over the white cliffs of Dover,” the World War II melody. And it remind­ed me that I am not of this Internet generation.

Teus Hagen’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Teus Hagen

I was just in charge. I was just direct­ing things. But all those peo­ple with me, and all those peo­ple with you, we have to thank them all for doing this.

JCR Licklider’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

presented by JCR Licklider

He would say to you that you are all wrong and that he nev­er should have been cho­sen to receive this award. He was a fair­ly hum­ble guy and would sit here—and it’s been a recur­ring theme—he would begin nam­ing the names of all the peo­ple who real­ly did the work. And he would sort of just say, ​“I was there.”

Stephen Wolff’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Stephen Wolff

At one point, in con­tra­ven­tion of a great many reg­u­la­tions we man­aged, togeth­er, to buy a com­put­er out of project funds. And after a good bit of time, we put Unix on it and got that to work.

Some Random Transcripts

Crafting Visions
presented by Georgina Voss

It's the expectations themselves that start to change the material qualities of our world, the material qualities around science and technology, around our political activities. That it's not just that the entrails have been read, but the fact that you now have to make a decision whether you're going to heed that warning or not. Read more →

Verifying and Validating Machine Intelligence
presented by Andrew Moore

We've been building autonomous vehicles for about twenty-five years, and now that the technology has become adopted much more broadly and is on the brink of being deployed, our earnest faculty who've been looking at it are now really interested in questions like, a car suddenly realizes an emergency, an animal has just jumped out at it. There's going to be a crash in one second from now. Human nervous system can't deal with that fast enough. What should the car do? Read more →

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: James Galvin
presented by James Galvin

The greatest threat to the security and stability of our Internet today is distributed attacks, distributed denial of service attacks in particular. The Internet was built on a foundation of it works because everybody cooperates and we all agree. And that was a great environment when you pretty much could name everybody who was on the Internet, or you got to where you could name all the sites and you know, you could name all the organizations.

Art && Code Homemade: Kelly Heaton
presented by Kelly Heaton

I guess I'm really an energy artist. So I'm just super interested in the flow of energy through all things. I find that when you look at it in terms of energy, and you think about perfume and the experience of perfume and how you construct it as energy, as frequency. Same as the frequency of the color fields in a painting. Same as the energy and the frequencies that happen in a sound circuit. Ultimately it's all about the energy and the vibration, and I think that's really the crux of where I focus my creativity. Read more →

Forbidden Research Welcome and Introduction: Ethan Zuckerman
presented by Ethan Zuckerman

As we dug into this topic, we realized research gets forbidden for all sorts of reasons. We're going to talk about topics today that are forbidden in some sense because they're so big, they're so consequential, that it's extremely difficult for anyone to think about who should actually have the right to make this decision. We're going to talk about some topics that end up being off the table, that end up being forbidden, because they're kind of icky. They're really uncomfortable. And frankly, if you make it through this day without something making you uncomfortable, we did something wrong in planning this event. Read more →
