Bill 118 passed in Ontario in 2009, making it illegal to use cell phones and electronic devices while driving. Distracted driving is a major issue, contributing to 20-40% of collisions. There are many potential distractions, such as phones, passengers, food, and audio systems. Harsher laws, increased awareness, and police enforcement are needed to curb distracted driving and improve road safety.
Reckless driving is described as a mental state which shows a neglect for the rules of the road. This kind of behavior repeatedly causes traffic accidents, and personal injuries to many other drivers and passengers. The punishment for this grave offense is different from one state to another, and certain charges of reckless driving are far more serious than others. This article is going to make it easier to recognize how a reckless driver's behavior could affect other drivers on the road, provide information about the implications, plus some solutions to help prevent reckless driving.
This presentation by Scott Turza suggests that cell phones like the #RefurbishedApple iPhone should be allowed when driving. Researches show that people who are using their cell phones while driving is more accident-prone. However, this presentation implies the opposite.

Distracted Driving is a growing problem not only in Maryland but across the country. Today auto drivers are constantly under the threat of being distracted whether by phone calls, text messages or simply by tuning the radio. This slide presentation exhibits the most common dangers associated with distracted driving and the laws in Maryland that attempt to prevent it and further fatalities.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.
