These systems—depending on the design and purpos e—have the capacity to either greatly enhance the general well-being of the world or bring about some form of a science fiction dystopia. \;\ n \;\nSean McGregor\, who will speak to us via teleconference\, will cover both aspects of these systems in equal measure. First\, he'll shar e examples of leading-edge "\;AI for Good"\; research. Then\, he 'll guide us through some real-world harms caused by deployed AI systems as explored from the AI Incident Database now under development with th e Partnership on AI. Sean will then wrap up the talk with a discussion o f current opportunities and risks in the development of AI systems for t he general welfare. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a great presentation and discussion! We'll have snacks\, and there will be an opportunity for net working afterwards. We hope to see you there! \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio : \;\n \;\nSean defended his machine learning PhD at Oregon State University with research projects at the intersection of reinforcement l earning and public policy. He now focuses on solving real-world problems with machine learning and visual analytics\, including problems in wild fire suppression\, heliophysics\, and analog neural network computation. \;\n \;\nOutside of his research\, Sean serves as technical lead for the IBM Watson AI XPRIZE\, chair of the Partnership on AI expert gro up for Safety Critical AI\, and member of the Fair\, Transparent\, and A ccountable (FTA) expert group. Sean's "\;day job"\; is developin g neural networks to run on analog architectures at Syntiant. Outside of his paid work\, Sean co-founded the Portland TA3M\, a series of worksho ps at major academic AI conferences on the topic of "\;AI for Good\, "\; and a now defunct non-profit dedicated to privacy education\, th e Privly Foundation. \;\n \;\n \;\nBy attending this TA3M meeti ng\, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct: \;\nhttps://www.meetup. com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct / \;\n \;\n{short} Code of Conduct \;\nPortland's Techno-Activi sm 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an informative and positive exp erience for everyone who participates in or supports our community\, reg ardless of gender\, gender identity and expression\, sexual orientation\ , ability\, physical appearance\, body size\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, r eligion\, socioeconomic status\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur ev ents are intended to educate and share information related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.
