Manufacturing Truth: Machine Learning and Bias @ New York
Aug 17 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Manufacturing Truth: Machine Learning and Bias @ New York | New York | New York | United States

Bringing together presenters from fields including art, journalism, and sociology, this panel will investigate how algorithms shape our lives in realms as disparate as criminal justice, online shopping, and social media. Algorithms affect everything from healthcare and insurance premiums to job opportunities and predictive policing. How might we resist discriminatory artificial intelligence and become informed digital citizens?

Her work has appeared in Time, the GuardianRolling Stone, the VergeBitch, and numerous other outlets; she is also a widely published videogame critic and a weekly columnist at Gamasutra.

Stephanie Dinkins, an artist and a professor at Stony Brook University, is interested in creating platforms for ongoing dialogue about artificial intelligence as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories. She is particularly driven to work with communities of color to develop deep-rooted literacy with artificial intelligence and co-create more culturally inclusive and equitable AI. Her art employs lens-based practices, the manipulation of space, and technology to grapple with notions of consciousness, agency, perception, and social equity.

Jeff Larson is a reporter at ProPublica. He worked on their Machine Bias series, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Explanatory Journalism, and is a winner of the Livingston Award for the 2011 series Redistricting: How Powerful Interests are Drawing You Out of a Vote.

Surya Mattu is an artist and engineer based in Brooklyn. He is currently the data reporter at GMG’s Special Projects Desk. Previously, he was a contributing researcher at ProPublica, where he worked on Machine Bias, a series that aims to highlight how algorithmic systems can be biased and discriminatory. Machine Bias was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Explanatory Journalism. Mattu was also a fellow at Data & Society. He has recently shown work at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and Bitforms.

The 2nd Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Identity Management in the Cloud – SECPID 2017 @ Reggio Calabria
Aug 29 – Sep 1 all-day
The 2nd Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Identity Management in the Cloud - SECPID 2017 @ Reggio Calabria | Reggio Calabria | Calabria | Italy
Over the last years, the computing paradigm has experienced a massive shift from local to cloud-based applications. As a result, users and organizations do no longer have full control over their data and services, but they rely on third-party cloud providers.

This development poses various challenges concerning the integrity and confidentiality of data as well as the privacy of users of such systems. Currently, no satisfactory solutions to these challenges exist, which is a roadblock for the large-scale deployment of cloud-based applications handling sensitive data such as electronic health records.

The aim of this symposium is to provide a platform to discuss innovative ideas related to the following questions: How can cloud services be made more trustworthy? How can we build distributed systems without single point of failure or trust? How to design end-to-end secure services in an untrusted environment? Which methodologies and technologies are required to integrate security and privacy by design? Is it possible to give back users full control over which data they want to reveal when and to whom?
