SUMMARY:Discussion of "Who Owns the Future?"
DESCRIPTION:For our August monthly online discussion\, friend of the Austin Forum and Professor Emeritus at The University of Texas at Austin\, J. Craig Wheeler\, will lead us in a conversation about the power of our personal data within this new age of the information economy. \nThrough his book\, Who Owns the Future?\, Jaron Lanier\, Silicon Valley veteran and the father of virtual reality\, presses readers to question the intangible data contract inflicted upon them by the world’s elite. At the cost of clicking around on the internet all day for free\, hedge funds\, industry powerhouses such as Google and Amazon\, and the top 1% exploit our data. Lanier argues that this trade quite literally disintegrates the middle class and threatens our economy to the degree that it reaches your mortgage\, insurance\, and healthcare. Join us as we dive into the concepts of this book on a broader scale and consider potential solutions (our own and Lanier’s) that will give ownership and power back to data owners while strengthening the economy at all levels. This book has renewed relevance in the age of Large Language Models like ChatGPT that scrape copyrighted material from the Web with no recompense. Paying creators could be a version of Lanier’s micropayment scheme. \nWe encourage attendees to read the book Who Owns the Future?\, as it will foster richer\, more in-depth conversations. Reading the book is not a requirement to participate in the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Global Energy Trends and Transitions
DESCRIPTION:The worldwide energy sector is going through dramatic shifts in energy demand\, end-uses\, and sources. Population growth and economic growth are driving up total demand. Industrialization\, urbanization\, electrification and motorization are changing how we use energy. And a policy push for domestic\, low-carbon and renewable fuels is changing our sources of energy. At the same time\, we are entering an era where markets\, technologies and policies are enabling dramatic increases in U.S. production of oil\, gas\, wind\, solar and bioenergy that is affecting global economies\, the environment\, and our national security posture. In parallel\, our energy and information sectors are merging to form smarter energy systems and more energy-intensive information systems. For this talk\, Dr. Webber will give an entertaining and big-picture overview of global energy trends mixed in with humorous anecdotes\, historical snippets\, and unexpected examples that will give a surprising look into the future of energy.

SUMMARY:Discussion of "The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology"
DESCRIPTION:For our July monthly online discussion\, SXSW Co-President & Chief Programming Officer\, Hugh Forrest\, will lead us in a conversation about synthetic biology\, genetic engineering\, and how these advancements will affect our lives. \nAmy Webb’s and Andrew Hessel’s book The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology\, acts as our springboard as we dive into this field and how computers are used to rewrite genetic code. This advancement opens a world of opportunities\, ranging from growing hamburger meat in a lab to creating vaccines for COVID. While hamburger patties are small in the scheme of life\, the technology behind it can lengthen lives\, as it will be an essential part in eradicating some of humans’ greatest threats\, such as food insecurity\, climate change\, and disease on a much grander scale. A longer\, healthier life is something anyone can get excited about\, but genetic engineering comes with risks as large as biological wars and extinctions. Join us as we explore the implications this has on the infrastructure of society (good and bad) and how we may avoid the risks that come with redesigning life. \nWe encourage attendees to read the book Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology\, as it will foster richer\, more in-depth conversations. Reading the book is not a requirement to participate in the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:The New Threats of Misinformation & Disinformation—and What We Can Do
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation and disinformation will always be with us\, but multiple technologies have made it possible to create and disseminate misleading and false information much more easily over the past two decades. The very recent emergence generative AI for text\, images\, and audio/video has greatly increased the ability to create more persuasive misinformation and disinformation\, while emerging edge computing and augmented reality technologies present risks for hacking\, creating\, and spreading false information of more types\, more widely. As AI\, edge computing and communications networks\, AR/VR\, and other new technologies become ubiquitous\, we need to ensure our new capabilities are deployed with security and safeguards built-in. This conversation with leaders in misinformation/disinformation and technologies will discuss the new threats to information security and quality and how they cab be misguided or even weaponized\, and what we are\, may\, and need to do to protect against these threats.

SUMMARY:Discussion of Spatial Web: How Web 3.0 Will Connect and Transform the World
DESCRIPTION:For our May online book discussion\, Austin Forum Executive Director Jay Boisseau will lead us in a conversation about the book “The Spatial Web: How Web 3.0 will connect humans\, machines and AI to transform the world. Authors Dan Mapes and Gabriel René dive into the world wide web’s past\, present\, and future in this illuminating and optimistic global call to action. Understanding the web’s development and the Internet’s dark sides that have sprouted with these developments\, provides society the opportunity to anticipate what is in the future and prepare for it. While there are potential risks to AI\, AR and VR\, robotics\, IoT\, and more\, Mapes and René explore how the convergence of these technologies with human cognition will foster the Spatial Web\, an iteration of the web that holds the Internet and its players accountable in a way it hasn’t before. The authors are optimistic that this is an inevitable evolution of the Internet\, but recognize and demand the cooperation of companies\, governments\, and individuals in ethical practices\, social codes\, and protocols. Web 3.0 offers exciting possibilities that promise a connected and sustainable future if we make the right decisions about the Spatial Web now. Join us as we discuss these possibilities and the steps of how we get there.

SUMMARY:Discussion of "The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI"
DESCRIPTION:For our April monthly online book discussion\, SXSW Co-President Hugh Forrest will lead us in a conversation about the book “The Threshold: Leading in the Age of AI.” As artificial intelligence rapidly advances\, the need for individuals and organizations to adapt becomes increasingly critical. In this bold new take\, author and leadership consultant Nick Chatrath interweaves the analysis of the leadership strategies that sustained us up until this point with “threshold” leadership methods developed with AI in mind. Through anecdotes and research\, Chatrath demonstrates that our organizations’ survival and success as individuals depend on the qualities that make us uniquely human. Join us as we discuss this candid call to action\, the significance of standing at the precipice of AI superintelligence\, and how we can utilize Chatrath’s toolkit to reposition our companies to thrive in an AI-driven world.

DESCRIPTION:Austin has emerged as a leading technology hub\, and there is huge potential for leadership in the rapidly growing area of AI. Austin is now home to many AI companies\, from new startups to small and midsized companies with significant AI expertise\, products\, and services. Austin is also the home for the headquarters or large divisions of many national and global technology companies (Dell\, IBM\, AMD\, NVIDIA\, Intel\, Google\, Meta\, AWS\, Apple\, and more) that develop processors\, systems\, and software used to develop and implement AI in products\, services\, and/or internal operations. UT Austin’s computer sciences department is nationally ranked in AI\, and its Good Systems program is developing responsible AI applications to improve society. Finally\, Austin has local\, state\, and federal government (civilian and defense) organizations and agencies with responsibilities and missions that increasingly require and deploy AI capabilities. In short\, Austin’s strong tech sector\, UT Austin plus other universities\, and extensive government presence\, coupled with a creative\, can-do culture\, should enable Austin to become one of the leading cities in the world in AI development\, applications\, and impact. To do so will require collaborative participation\, organization\, and leadership. \nThe Austin Forum on Technology & Society\, Austin’s largest monthly technology events organization\, will host an Austin AI Ecosystem Meetup on Tuesday\, April 25 at the Capital Factory to bring together AI experts from these constituents to discuss the potential formation of an Austin AI ecosystem initiative. (This meetup reboots an effort started in 2019 but paused by the pandemic\, with some initial materials already prepared.) All professionals and researchers who work in AI in Austin are welcome to attend. A small set of AI experts from industry and academia will provide some opening context about possibilities and potential goals and plans\, which may include:\nDeveloping an Austin AI ecosystem communications platform to share expertise and ideas\nEstablishing a blog\, podcast\, and/or seminar series for Austin AI professionals to share results and next steps\nSharing training opportunities for developing a larger AI workforce\nSharing job\, internship\, and mentoring opportunities in Austin\nCreating new training collaboratively\nEstablishing an Austin-based AI conference that attracts national and global participation but plays to Austin’s AI core strengths\nCreating an annual report on the state of AI in Austin’s industry and how Austin ranks\nAnd possibly\, creating a proposal to fund a consortium effort with pre-competitive research\, similar to what launched Austin as a semiconductor leader in the Sematech/MCC days \nThey will then serve as facilitators during open networking\, and finally moderate a closing session at which any attendee can share thoughts on the goals/objectives\, potential benefits\, formation\, and/or execution of a sustained effort (with suggestions captured by a scribe). The moderators and attendees and moderators will then take over future planning for this effort (if the consensus is to go forward)\, and everyone will leave knowing more about the Austin AI ecosystem participants and having established new potential collaborators.

SUMMARY:How Close/Far Are We from “Her” - Movie + AI Panel
DESCRIPTION:The 2013 movie “Her” is a wonderful science fiction movie about AI having evolved to the point of general intelligence\, even sentience. There are no robotics in this AI movie—it is all about the powerful but human-like AI capabilities of his “OS.” “Her” is inspiring and thought-provoking but represents a realistically still far away or possibly unattainable. And yet\, on November 30\, 2022—just 9 years after “Her”—ChatGPT emerged and suddenly everyone was talking about how it mimics conversation\, can be trained on more data than any human could ever learn\, etc. (Read our short interview with ChatGPT and you’ll see.) Coupled with AI technologies for turning text to voice and vice versa\, one could imagine a verbal form of ChatGPT—and being to wonder if “Her” is much closer than we thought! \nJoin us for a showing of “Her” followed by a Q&A session with AI experts\, including natural language processing (NLP). They will answer your questions and will share their perspectives on the state and future of NLP and the possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and sentience. The movie is still thought-provoking\, and our panel will help us understand where we are with AI\, where AI is headed\, and how we might(?) get to “Her” capabilities.
