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.

SUMMARY:Austin AI Ecosystem Meetup
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.

SUMMARY:Discussion of "Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology"
DESCRIPTION:For our March monthly online book discussion\, Austin Forum board member and AMD Senior Fellow\, Mike Ignatowski\, will lead us in a conversation about the book “Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology.” In this historical account that reads like a thriller\, Chris Miller brings context to the current state of microchip technology and semiconductors and how that plays a role in geopolitics\, national security\, and the global economy. He takes readers on a journey that starts with the birth of Silicon Valley and ends with a competitive US-China relationship reminiscent of US foreign relationships during the Cold War. Join us as we discuss Miller’s work; the complexity of the situation; the implications these complexities could have on the global status quo; and what the future looks like in a world where resources are scarce\, the supply chain is unstable\, and stakes are high.

SUMMARY:Discussion of “Sea of Tranquility”
DESCRIPTION:For our February monthly online book discussion\, Austin Forum board member\, Julie Tomlin\, will lead us in a conversation about the novel Sea of Tranquility. From the perspectives of three different characters in three different time periods\, Emily St. John Mandel explores metaphysics and time travel through the threads that intertwine these characters. This book uses their stories to reflect on relationships and interconnectedness\, the ethics behind time travel\, the tension between bureaucracy and humanity\, the importance of steadfast character in an ever-changing world\, and how we distinguish between reality and imagination when that world (or universe) turns out to be more fluid than it appears. During this online event\, we will discuss these themes and how they apply to our lives and the intersection of society and technology in our world.

SUMMARY:Simulation\, Visualization\, Digital Twins\, and the (Useful) Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:Being able to simulate physical processes with high fidelity on powerful computers is important to research\, design\, manufacturing\, and more\, across fields and domains. Likewise\, being able to visualize data and simulations helps us humans understand\, trust\, and share information and understanding. We are now seeing these methods combined\, in ‘digital twins\,’ which are models of things\, places\, infrastructure\, etc. that use physics-based simulation\, realistic visualization\, and sometimes AI-enabled behaviors. And now\, we can collaborate to develop and bring all this together in virtual environments of digital twins–a practical\, useful metaverse! Join us as Marc Hamilton of NVIDIA returns to Austin to share how these technologies are advancing our capabilities to understand\, design\, and create everything from research simulations of complex phenomena to more accurate digital representations of things we wish to test\, evaluate\, and make/build. These powerful technologies are transforming how we work\, and understanding the now may give your career or company competitive advantages in our rapidly changing markets and society.​

SUMMARY:How Tech Can Make 2023 More Fun (Even Business)
DESCRIPTION:Technologies play increasingly key roles in making life more entertaining\, more enjoyable–more fun! Yes\, they were critical in enabling us to work safely during a pandemic (and helped us mitigate it with vaccines!)\, but life is about more than work—and even ‘work’ should be more fun\, for employees and for customers. Join us for this special year-end event as we close out the year with information on new/emerging technologies (VR/AR\, cloud gaming\, robots\, and more) and advice on how to integrate more fun into our lives\, and even our companies and organizations\, our products and services. Erik Summa of Dell Technologies and Finn Staber of Chicken Waffle will inform\, educate\, and entertain us about the many ways tech can contribute to increased fun in all aspects of our lives. Afterwards\, our networking event will be at Valhalla E-Sports Lounge with drinks\, snacks\, and gaming! And yes\, there will be lessons for those who want help. 🙂
