While these technologies may have potential benefits for a cit y's residents\, they can also harm some communities and can have a negat ive impact on people's civil liberties. \;\n \;\nEarlier this year \, Portland's City Council passed a surveillance policy resolution to in crease transparency and accountability in the use of surveillance techno logies in Portland. As part of the resolution\, Smart City PDX has been tasked with designing and implementing a citywide inventory of surveilla nce technologies owned or used by City Bureaus — and they want your inpu t! \;\n \;\nAt this month's meeting\, Hector Dominguez\, Open Data Coordinator at Smart City PDX\, within Portland's Bureau of Planning an d Sustainability\, will join us to share information about the surveilla nce technology inventory and how its development is progressing. \;\n \;\nHis team has put together a survey where you can submit your tho ughts about what information should be included in the inventory: \;\ nhttps://arcg.is/10u9Cf0 \;\n \;\nTake the survey\; then come to t he meeting\, and bring your questions and ideas about what information s hould be included in the inventory! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bio: \;\n \;\nHector Dominguez is the Open Data Coordinator at the City of Portland. In 2009\, Portland became the first city in the United States to adopt an Open Data Resolution to enc ourage the expansion of the technological community by promoting open da ta and partnerships between City government and the public\, private and nonprofit sectors\, academia\, and labor. \;\n \;\n \;\nBy att ending this TA3M meeting\, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct: \ ;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22 681732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{short} Code of Conduct \;\nPo rtland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an inform ative and positive experience for everyone who participates in or suppor ts our community\, regardless of gender\, gender identity and expression \, sexual orientation\, ability\, physical appearance\, body size\, race \, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educate and share information related to technology and activism\, and anyone who is there for this p urpose is welcome.

Details that must be addresse d include: What data is being used to train the language models? Who own s the source data and the outputs that are generated? How accurate are t he models? How much human oversight of the model-building process is the re? And what are the potential harms when things go wrong? \;\n \; \nThese algorithms are already being used to make decisions about people ’s lives\, like whether a person gets a job or a bank loan and how much time a person convicted of a crime might spend in jail\, but students in particular are having their lives and actions analyzed more and more ev ery day. For instance\, proctoring software tries to determine whether s tudents are cheating on exams\, other software looks for plagiarism in s tudent essays and reports\, and there’s even software that analyzes emot ions and/or physical objects — Is the student happy or angry? Are they h olding a cellphone or a gun? \;\n \;\nThis month\, leaders from En code Justice Oregon — Maansi Singh\, Sahana Srinivasan\, and Julianne Hu ang — will join us to share their experiences and their work on drafting policy recommendations for use of AI in schools. They’ll speak about th eir concerns and how they think these technologies should be used in edu cational settings. They'll also discuss the upcoming Youth Citizens Asse mbly\, which will give students an opportunity to add their voices to th e digital privacy conversation and pitch their own ideas. \;\n \;\ nCome join us\, and bring your questions and thoughts about AI in school s! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via the Meetup link or by sending an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker bios: \ ;\n \;\nEncode Justice is a global coalition of youth activists fight ing for justice and accountability in the digital age. Oregon’s chapter\ , Encode Justice Oregon\, works to educate their school\, local and stat ewide communities about algorithmic fairness while supporting legislatio n that encourages the safe and effective implementation of new technolog ies. From working with the Oregon DOJ's Consumer Privacy Task Force to e ngaging in connections with the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, Smart C ity PDX\, PDX Privacy\, and Rose Haven\, Encode Justice Oregon has estab lished a statewide presence centered around furthering the digital priva cy and equitable technology movement. \;\n \;\nMaansi Singh is a s enior at Jesuit High School in Portland\, Oregon. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the Encode Justice Oregon Chapter. Maansi has par ticipated in discussions surrounding the role of youth advocacy in AI et hics with organizations such as the United Nations\, Washington Post\, G oogle\, ACLU\, Meta and the World Economic Forum. Maansi believes that i ntellectual curiosity and the pursuit of new questions surrounding AI ar e ontological components of the ongoing discussion about human rights. T hrough Encode Justice and other efforts\, she has pursued the intersecti on between computer science\, ethics\, policy and education. \;\n 3\;\nSahana Srinivasan is a sophomore at Jesuit High School. She is the Director of Education for Encode Justice Oregon. She is especially inte rested in the intersection of AI in medicine. AI ethics is important to her because in the medical field\, it is critical that AI systems are bo th accurate\, reliable\, and without bias. \;\n \;\nJulianne Huang serves as the Co-Director of Research for Encode Justice’s Oregon Chapt er. Her position allows her to bring a youth voice into the AI Ethics co nversation and inspires her to continue being an advocate for people lik e her who have grown up in a tech-centered world. Outside of EJ\, she is a math and science enthusiast who enjoys participating in dance and cho ir. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nBy attending this TA3M meeting\, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct: \;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/Portl ands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/ \;\n \;\n{short} Code of Conduct \;\nPortland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mo ndays is dedicated to providing an informative and positive experience f or everyone who participates in or supports our community\, regardless o f gender\, gender identity and expression\, sexual orientation\, ability \, physical appearance\, body size\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, religion\, socioeconomic status\, caste\, or creed. \;\n \;\nOur events are intended to educate and share information related to technology and acti vism\, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.

Can d evelopers explain how their AI systems work and demonstrate that the out puts they generate are not biased? How might governments regulate these systems? Should companies be allowed to regulate themselves? How might g overnments and companies work together to ensure fairness and understand ability of what the systems are doing? \;\n \;\nLast year\, World Privacy Forum\, a privacy-focused research nonprofit\, studied various A I governance tools currently in use around the world. They recently publ ished their findings via a report that was co-authored by Pam Dixon\, ex ecutive director of World Privacy Forum\, and Kate Kaye\, deputy directo r of the organization: \;\nhttps://www.worldprivacyforum.org/2023/12/ new-report-risky-analysis-assessing-and-improving-ai-governance-tools/&# 13\;\n \;\nAt this month's meeting\, World Privacy Forum’s Kate Kaye will join us to share the details of their research methodologies and wh at they learned about how governments are overseeing the implementation of AI in their countries. She'll give an overview of what AI is and what it does\, and she'll also present some examples of both effective and i neffective approaches to good governance of these systems. \;\n \; \nBring your questions and thoughts about AI governance\, and come join the discussion! \;\n \;\nPlease RSVP via this Meetup page or by se nding an email to ta3mevents@pdxprivacy.org. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpea ker bio: \;\n \;\nKate Kaye is a Portland resident and deputy dire ctor of World Privacy Forum\, a nonpartisan public-interest research non profit.

Califor nia began the trend by passing the California Consumer Privacy Act\, whi ch became effective as of January 1\, 2020. Since then\, eighteen other states have passed comprehensive privacy legislation\, including Oregon\ , the eleventh state to do so. Oregon's new law\, the Oregon Consumer Pr ivacy Act (OCPA)\, took effect on July 1\, 2024 and gives Oregonians a n ew and powerful set of consumer privacy rights and protections. \;\n& #13\;\nThe OCPA defines personal and biometric data broadly\, protects c onsumer data rights holistically\, and holds companies that have access to our data to high standards. The Act also gives consumers control over how businesses use their personal data and guarantees Oregonians affirm ative rights to manage and safeguard their personal data. \;\n \;\ nMore information about the OCPA is available here: \;\nhttps://www.d oj.state.or.us/consumer-protection/id-theft-data-breaches/privacy \;\ n \;\nWhile this new law may seem complicated\, Dr. Katie Blevins\, a Privacy Analyst with the Oregon Department of Justice\, will join us th is month to explain how the new law works. She'll detail both consumer r ights and business obligations set forth by the new law\, and she'll als o discuss exemptions to the law and how any future federal laws might af fect Oregon's law. Additionally\, she'll share information about what yo u should do if you believe your rights have been violated and what happe ns then. \;\n \;\nBring your questions\, and come learn what the O CPA means for you and your privacy! \;\n \;\nThis event is co-host ed by PDX Privacy and Portland's Techno-activism 3rd Mondays.
