Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Taking the long livestock view
1. Taking the long livestock view
Jimmy Smith, Director General
International Livestock Research Institute
Third Stakeholder Meeting of the Global Agenda of Action
for Sustainable Livestock Sector Development, Nairobi
22 January 2013
7. Only during the last
century did
perceptions of the
benefits of animals
begin to diverge
People in more
developed regions
of the world began
separating from the
animals they raised.
This is reflected in
‘factory farms’ of
industrialized and
industrializing parts
of the world
8. But people in less
developed regions
(mostly the South −
especially in Africa and
Asia) maintained close
relations with their
domesticated animals,
which shared their
farm compounds
and scarce resources
. . . to support their
livelihoods.
9. Thus, today perspectives on the
value of livestock diverge,
depending on whether people
(1)Are poor or rich
(2)Eat too little or too much
(3)Live with or away from livestock
10. For those who live with
and depend on livestock:
• Livestock production and marketing
remain essential to 1 billion people.
• 80% of the world’s livestock foods
are generated on small farms, mostly those
mixing animal raising with crop growing,
and sold in informal markets.
• 80% of Africa’s poor keep livestock,
which contribute at least one-third
of their annual income as well as
other benefits (food, manure, traction).
• Livestock are central to the lives and
well-being of developing-country
women, children and households.
• Women livestock producers,
processors and sellers are essential
to developing-country economies.
11. While domesticated animals remain highly valued in poor countries,
it is companion animals that are increasingly revered in wealthier
countries or segments of society today.
•World pet food sales are roughly US$72 billion annually
•and growing at a rate of 4% annually in the United States
•and at 11−12% annually in eastern Europe and Latin America.
•62% of all households in the U.S. own a pet animal
•including 78 million dogs and 86 million cats
•costing their owners on average US$800 per animal per year.
12. As animals for food became
divorced from animals
for companionship
in the U.S. and other
rich countries,
and have begun to be
similarly divorced
in urban areas of fast-
developing countries,
it is livestock
that remain important
to poor communities.
13. Now there is an
added source of tension
between those who
can over-consume
livestock and other foods
and those who cannot.
For many who have
escaped poverty,
environmental issues
in the livestock sector
are now paramount.
For those who remain
in absolute poverty,
what is paramount is
getting enough to eat,
making a living,
staying healthy.
14. So for those
now divorced
from livestock,
the narrative is:
If we want to save
the planet,
we should get rid
of the livestock . . .
And to
preserve our health,
we should
stop eating meat . . .
15. But the on-going demand-led ‘livestock revolution’ happened fast.
Green & equitable policies / incentives haven’t caught up with livestock practices.
The livestock revolution of the South may slow but it will not stop. Some estimates
show that demand for livestock foods will rise more than 100% in the next 30 years
(poultry by 170% in Africa).
16. Our livestock-
related ills are
largely the result
of public sector
neglect.
We CAN grow the
livestock sector
in poor countries in
ways that are
•Green
•Equitable
•Sustainable
•Profitable
17. What can be done?
Those of us working in livestock for development
can ensure that we approach livestock development
as a transitory pathway out of poverty.
And we can, and must, support many poor people
in exiting the livestock sector in the coming decades.
19. Research on the transition of livestock systems can:
• Address future as well as current food needs –understand better growth trajectories
• Exploit a diversity of starting points and solutions
• Work explicitly toward ‘inclusive growth’
that is both sustainable and equitable
20. Research on biophysical matters can:
• Increase productivity via better livestock feeds, breeds, health
• Enhance the efficiency of animal production
• Improve control of livestock and zoonotic diseases
• Manage trade-offs in livestock vs human nutrition
• Find practical and equitable solutions to environmental problems
21. Research on institutional matters can:
• Create incentives for environmental stewardship
• Build market and service provision models
• Build business enterprise models
• Provide evidence to guide livestock investments
22. Our concern for
the environment
needn’t override
our concern for
the world’s poor.
23. Livestock are not the most important
factor in developing-world agriculture.
25. For ten thousand years, livestock have mattered to people.
They’ll almost certainly matter for a few thousand more.
ILRI is delighted to be working with you,
working towards convergence,
and getting traction this week,
on livestock futures that benefit all.
