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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

2. 5 My name is Jessica Holmes, and I’m 22 years old.
5 My scholastic career began with pre-kindergarten at St. Peter
Martyr (a Catholic school) of Pittsburg, California in 1990. I spent
one year there, and when my family moved to Alameda,
California, I attended Frank Otis Elementary School from
kindergarten all the way through the fifth grade.
5 After graduating from Lincoln Middle School in 2001, I attended
Alameda High School and graduated in 2005.
5 I first went to college at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the fall
of 2005. I took this past academic year off, but now I’m back and
ready to graduate in May 2010!
5 When I finish my degree, I hope to become an elementary school
teacher, preferably in inner cities, or perhaps a Spanish-speaking
country.
3. Educational Technology is the use of
technology in schools and classrooms to
teach students (and teachers) in new
and innovative ways. Technology is
always progressing, and so should the
minds of our students.

5. We didn’t have computers in my
class
We went to the computer
lab/library once a week
Audio cassettes to listen to
stories
Our teacher wrote things on a
large notepad or the chalk
board; no overhead projectors or
white boards
(Me in Kona ‘89 playing Atari with my dad)
6. •At least one computer per
classroom, but only for teacher use
•School library had computers with
internet access
•Two computer labs used for
classroom projects
•Most classrooms had color

television sets (with built in VHS -- no
DVD) mounted on the wall in a
corner
•Most teachers used overhead
projectors
7. •Wireless internet on campus
•A lot of students with lap tops
•E-mail through cell phones
•Computers in libraries and lab
rooms
•ELMO projectors
•Professor lectures displayed on
large screens during class

8. By the beginning of my senior year of high school I had saved enough money to
buy a digital camera, and towards the end of my senior year, my mom and dad
bought me my lap top. With those two gadgets, my best friend and I would
record little trips we’d take here and there or different events/activities that
occurred at school, and we would make slideshows and mini movies using
iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie (the basics).

10. I would like to see formal
education be a part of
everyone’s lives. I want to see
classrooms have better
technology, which requires
funding and educators who
know how to use the materials.
Just as much as I would love to
see students in the classroom

assignments by had is extremely
important. I am a bit fearful that
children will not be able to
function without a computer if
working with a computer is all
they taught to do.
11. Having access to computers and
other forms of current
technology requires having
sufficient funding – whether it be
from the school, or donations
from parents and/or the
community. Not only do people
who give these material items to
the classroom need money, but
they also need to trust that the
gifts they are giving will be used
appropriately and that they will
not be damaged or destroyed
within a matter of weeks or
months.
As a teacher I feel that not being
able to monitor everything a
student does will be my biggest
concern. It’s so easy to get
