Intro to ESG Standards and Regulations: An Introduction to Technologically Ac...John C. Havens
This provides an introduction to leading ESG / Sustainability oriented standards as of August, 2023. The goal of the presentation is to show that "Double Materiality" and "Strong Sustainability" are critical to achieve Net Positive / Nature Positive goals for engineers, policy makers, and society at large.
Please note - while I prepared this in my role as Sustainability Practice Lead for the IEEE Standards Association, these ideas are my own and don't necessarily reflect those of my employer.
Reskilling in the age of the algorithm is a mythed opportunity where single-bottom line mandates rule the land. All jobs will be replaced via automation where organizations are continuously pressured to cut costs and increase exponential growth as their top KPIs. But when society's metrics for success move Beyond GDP to include caregiving, the teachers and other professionals currently not counted will get the salaries and support they deserve while shifting the goals for learning in the AI era from productivity to purpose.

The Artificial and The Divine - Week ThreeJohn C. Havens
Can Artificial Intelligence replace spirituality or religion? Should it? What's the value of introspection when technology and automation can do our thinking for us?
The Artificial and the Divine is a series of three presentations geared to teaching people about how emerging technology is deeply affecting how we see ourselves, each other, and our spirituality.
This is a presentation I'll be doing at the Foresight & Trends Conference in L.A. in November of 2014 (http://www.iirusa.com/futuretrends/home.xml). My focus is on how individuals and companies can measure actions identified by the science of positive psychology to increase wellbeing.

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.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
