Netflix processes trillions of events and petabytes of data a day in the Keystone data pipeline, which is built on top of Apache Flink. As Netflix has scaled up original productions annually enjoyed by more than 150 million global members, data integration across the streaming service and the studio has become a priority. Scalably integrating data across hundreds of different data stores in a way that enables us to holistically optimize cost, performance and operational concerns presented a significant challenge. Learn how we expanded the scope of the Keystone pipeline into the Netflix Data Mesh, our real-time, general-purpose, data transportation platform for moving data between Netflix systems. The Keystone Platform’s unique approach to declarative configuration and schema evolution, as well as our approach to unifying batch and streaming data and processing will be covered in depth.
Lambda architecture is a popular technique where records are processed by a batch system and streaming system in parallel. The results are then combined during query time to provide a complete answer. Strict latency requirements to process old and recently generated events made this architecture popular. The key downside to this architecture is the development and operational overhead of managing two different systems.
There have been attempts to unify batch and streaming into a single system in the past. Organizations have not been that successful though in those attempts. But, with the advent of Delta Lake, we are seeing lot of engineers adopting a simple continuous data flow model to process data as it arrives. We call this architecture, The Delta Architecture.
Architect’s Open-Source Guide for a Data Mesh ArchitectureDatabricks
Data Mesh is an innovative concept addressing many data challenges from an architectural, cultural, and organizational perspective. But is the world ready to implement Data Mesh?
In this session, we will review the importance of core Data Mesh principles, what they can offer, and when it is a good idea to try a Data Mesh architecture. We will discuss common challenges with implementation of Data Mesh systems and focus on the role of open-source projects for it. Projects like Apache Spark can play a key part in standardized infrastructure platform implementation of Data Mesh. We will examine the landscape of useful data engineering open-source projects to utilize in several areas of a Data Mesh system in practice, along with an architectural example. We will touch on what work (culture, tools, mindset) needs to be done to ensure Data Mesh is more accessible for engineers in the industry.
The audience will leave with a good understanding of the benefits of Data Mesh architecture, common challenges, and the role of Apache Spark and other open-source projects for its implementation in real systems.
This session is targeted for architects, decision-makers, data-engineers, and system designers.

Building Data Quality pipelines with Apache Spark and Delta LakeDatabricks
Technical Leads and Databricks Champions Darren Fuller & Sandy May will give a fast paced view of how they have productionised Data Quality Pipelines across multiple enterprise customers. Their vision to empower business decisions on data remediation actions and self healing of Data Pipelines led them to build a library of Data Quality rule templates and accompanying reporting Data Model and PowerBI reports.
With the drive for more and more intelligence driven from the Lake and less from the Warehouse, also known as the Lakehouse pattern, Data Quality at the Lake layer becomes pivotal. Tools like Delta Lake become building blocks for Data Quality with Schema protection and simple column checking, however, for larger customers they often do not go far enough. Notebooks will be shown in quick fire demos how Spark can be leverage at point of Staging or Curation to apply rules over data.
Expect to see simple rules such as Net sales = Gross sales + Tax, or values existing with in a list. As well as complex rules such as validation of statistical distributions and complex pattern matching. Ending with a quick view into future work in the realm of Data Compliance for PII data with generations of rules using regex patterns and Machine Learning rules based on transfer learning.
Today’s organisations require a data storage and analytics solution that offers more agility and flexibility than traditional data management systems. Data Lake is a new and increasingly popular way to store all of your data, structured and unstructured, in one, centralised repository. Since data can be stored as-is, there is no need to convert it to a predefined schema and you no longer need to know what questions you want to ask of your data beforehand.
In this webinar, you will discover how AWS gives you fast access to flexible and low-cost IT resources, so you can rapidly scale and build your data lake that can power any kind of analytics such as data warehousing, clickstream analytics, fraud detection, recommendation engines, event-driven ETL, serverless computing, and internet-of-things processing regardless of volume, velocity and variety of data.
Learning Objectives:
• Discover how you can rapidly scale and build your data lake with AWS.
• Explore the key pillars behind a successful data lake implementation.
• Learn how to use the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) as the basis for your data lake.
• Learn about the new AWS services recently launched, Amazon Athena and Amazon Redshift Spectrum, that help customers directly query that data lake.
Evolution from EDA to Data Mesh: Data in Motionconfluent
Thoughtworks Zhamak Dehghani observations on these traditional approaches’s failure modes, inspired her to develop an alternative big data management architecture that she aptly named the Data Mesh. This represents a paradigm shift that draws from modern distributed architecture and is founded on the principles of domain-driven design, self-serve platform, and product thinking with Data. In the last decade Apache Kafka has established a new category of data management infrastructure for data in motion that has been leveraged in modern distributed data architectures.

Modernizing to a Cloud Data ArchitectureDatabricks
Organizations with on-premises Hadoop infrastructure are bogged down by system complexity, unscalable infrastructure, and the increasing burden on DevOps to manage legacy architectures. Costs and resource utilization continue to go up while innovation has flatlined. In this session, you will learn why, now more than ever, enterprises are looking for cloud alternatives to Hadoop and are migrating off of the architecture in large numbers. You will also learn how elastic compute models’ benefits help one customer scale their analytics and AI workloads and best practices from their experience on a successful migration of their data and workloads to the cloud.
This is Part 4 of the GoldenGate series on Data Mesh - a series of webinars helping customers understand how to move off of old-fashioned monolithic data integration architecture and get ready for more agile, cost-effective, event-driven solutions. The Data Mesh is a kind of Data Fabric that emphasizes business-led data products running on event-driven streaming architectures, serverless, and microservices based platforms. These emerging solutions are essential for enterprises that run data-driven services on multi-cloud, multi-vendor ecosystems.
Join this session to get a fresh look at Data Mesh; we'll start with core architecture principles (vendor agnostic) and transition into detailed examples of how Oracle's GoldenGate platform is providing capabilities today. We will discuss essential technical characteristics of a Data Mesh solution, and the benefits that business owners can expect by moving IT in this direction.

How to build a data lake with aws glue data catalog (ABD213-R) re:Invent 2017Amazon Web Services
As data volumes grow and customers store more data on AWS, they often have valuable data that is not easily discoverable and available for analytics. The AWS Glue Data Catalog provides a central view of your data lake, making data readily available for analytics. We introduce key features of the AWS Glue Data Catalog and its use cases. Learn how crawlers can automatically discover your data, extract relevant metadata, and add it as table definitions to the AWS Glue Data Catalog. We will also explore the integration between AWS Glue Data Catalog and Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Redshift Spectrum.
Every business today wants to leverage data to drive strategic initiatives with machine learning, data science and analytics — but runs into challenges from siloed teams, proprietary technologies and unreliable data.
That’s why enterprises are turning to the lakehouse because it offers a single platform to unify all your data, analytics and AI workloads.
Join our How to Build a Lakehouse technical training, where we’ll explore how to use Apache SparkTM, Delta Lake, and other open source technologies to build a better lakehouse. This virtual session will include concepts, architectures and demos.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this 2-hour session:
How Delta Lake combines the best of data warehouses and data lakes for improved data reliability, performance and security
How to use Apache Spark and Delta Lake to perform ETL processing, manage late-arriving data, and repair corrupted data directly on your lakehouse
Data Build Tool (DBT) is an open source technology to set up your data lake using best practices from software engineering. This SQL first technology is a great marriage between Databricks and Delta. This allows you to maintain high quality data and documentation during the entire datalake life-cycle. In this talk I’ll do an introduction into DBT, and show how we can leverage Databricks to do the actual heavy lifting. Next, I’ll present how DBT supports Delta to enable upserting using SQL. Finally, we show how we integrate DBT+Databricks into the Azure cloud. Finally we show how we emit the pipeline metrics to Azure monitor to make sure that you have observability over your pipeline.
Build Real-Time Applications with Databricks StreamingDatabricks
In this presentation, we will study a recent use case we implemented recently. In this use case we are working with a large, metropolitan fire department. Our company has already created a complete analytics architecture for the department based upon Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Delta Lake, Azure SQL and Azure SQL Server Analytics Services (SSAS). While this architecture works very well for the department, they would like to add a real-time channel to their reporting infrastructure.
This channel should serve up the following information: •The most up-to-date locations and status of equipment (fire trucks, ambulances, ladders etc.)
• The current locations and status of firefighters, EMT personnel and other relevant fire department employees
• The current list of active incidents within the city The above information should be visualized through an automatically updating dashboard. The central component of the dashboard will be map which automatically updates with the locations and incidents. This view should be as real-time as possible and will be used by the fire chiefs to assist with real-time decision-making on resource and equipment deployments.
In this presentation, we will leverage Databricks, Spark Structured Streaming, Delta Lake and the Azure platform to create this real-time delivery channel.

Leveraging the Web of Data: Managing, Analysing and Making Use of Linked Open...Thomas Gottron
The intensive growth of the Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud has spawned a web of data where a multitude of data sources provides huge amounts of valuable information across different domains. Nowadays, when accessing and using Linked Data more and more often the challenging question is not so much whether there is relevant data available, but rather where it can be found, how it is structured and to make best use of it.
I this lecture I will start with giving a brief introduction to the concepts underlying LOD. Then I will focus on three aspects of current research:
(1) Managing Linked Data. Index structures play an important role for making use of the information in LOD cloud. I will give an overview of indexing approaches, present algorithms and discuss the ideas behind the index structures.
(2) Analysing Linked Data. I will present methods for analysing various aspects of LOD. From an information theoretic analysis for measuring structural redundancy, over formal concept analysis for identifying alternative declarative descriptions to a dynamics analysis for capturing the evolution of Linked Data sources.
(3) Making Use of Linked Data. Finally I will give a brief overview and outlook on where the presented techniques and approaches are of practical relevance in applications.

Instrumenting and Scaling Databases with EnvoyDaniel Hochman
Every request to a database at Lyft is proxied by Envoy, providing complete visibility into the L3/L4 aspects of database interactions. This allows engineers to easily visualize changes to a database's load profile and pinpoint the root cause if necessary. Lyft has also open-sourced codecs for MongoDB, DynamoDB, and Redis. Protocol codecs in combination with custom filters yield benefits ranging from operation-level observability to horizontal scalability via sharding. Using Envoy for this purpose means that enhancements are implemented once and usable across a polyglot stack. The talk demonstrates Envoy's utility beyond traditional RPC service interactions in the network.
XPDS14: Efficient Interdomain Transmission of Performance Data - John Else, C...The Linux Foundation
As users demand greater scalability from Citrix XenServer, the transmission of performance data from guests via xenstore is increasingly becoming a bottleneck. Future use of service domains is likely to make this problem worse. A simple, efficient way of transmitting time-varying datasets between userspace components in different domains is required. This talk will propose a lock-free mechanism to allow interdomain reporting of performance data without relying on continuous xenstore usage, and describe how it fits into the XAPI toolstack.

BDA403 How Netflix Monitors Applications in Real-time with Amazon KinesisAmazon Web Services
Thousands of services work in concert to deliver millions of hours of video streams to Netflix customers every day. These applications vary in size, function, and technology, but they all make use of the Netflix network to communicate. Understanding the interactions between these services is a daunting challenge both because of the sheer volume of traffic and the dynamic nature of deployments. In this talk, we’ll first discuss why Netflix chose Amazon Kinesis Streams over other streaming data solutions like Kafka to address these challenges at scale. We’ll then dive deep into how Netflix uses Amazon Kinesis Streams to enrich network traffic logs and identify usage patterns in real time. Lastly, we will cover how Netflix uses this system to build comprehensive dependency maps, increase network efficiency, and improve failure resiliency. From this talk, you’ll take away techniques and processes that you can apply to your large-scale networks and derive real-time, actionable insights.
Extending Analytic Reach - From The Warehouse to The Data Lake by Mike LimcacoData Con LA
Abstract:- The data marts and warehouses we work with often require us to think about how to scope our analytic questions based on the finite amount of storage allocated to these enterprise components. With new innovations in the cloud space, we can leverage the near-infinite storage capacities of Data Lake object storage and use this as foundational source that can be combined with online data in the warehouse. In this talk we present reference architecture patterns based on Amazon Redshift Spectrum - a new technology enabling you to run MPP Warehouse SQL queries against exabytes of data in a backing object store. With Redshift Spectrum, customers can extend the analytic reach of their SQL interactions to push beyond data stored on local disks in the data warehouse to query vast amounts of unstructured data in the Amazon S3 Data Lake-- without having to load or transform any data.
Agilisium's insights on reference architecture patterns based on Amazon Redshift Spectrum, a new technology that enables to run the MPP Warehouse SQL queries against exabytes of data in a backing object store.
he Named Data Networking (NDN) project proposed an evolution of the IP architecture that generalizes the role of this thin waist, such that packets can name objects other than communication endpoints. More specifically, NDN changes the semantics of network service from delivering the packet to a given destination address to fetching data identified by a given name. The name in an NDN packet can name anything – an endpoint, a data chunk in a movie or a book, a command to turn on some lights, etc. The hope is that this conceptually simple change allows NDN networks to apply almost all of the Internet’s well-tested engineering properties to broader range of problems beyond end-to-end communications.

Building a fully managed stream processing platform on Flink at scale for Lin...Flink Forward
Apache Flink is a distributed stream processing framework that allows users to process and analyze data in real-time. At LinkedIn, we developed a fully managed stream processing platform on Flink running on K8s to power hundreds of stream processing pipelines in production. This platform is the backbone for other infra systems like Search, Espresso (internal document store) and feature management etc. We provide a rich authoring and testing environment which allows users to create, test, and deploy their streaming jobs in a self-serve fashion within minutes. Users can focus on their business logic, leaving the Flink platform to take care of management aspects such as split deployment, resource provisioning, auto-scaling, job monitoring, alerting, failure recovery and much more. In this talk, we will introduce the overall platform architecture, highlight the unique value propositions that it brings to stream processing at LinkedIn and share the experiences and lessons we have learned.
Evening out the uneven: dealing with skew in FlinkFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
When running Flink jobs, skew is a common problem that results in wasted resources and limited scalability. In the past years, we have helped our customers and users solve various skew-related issues in their Flink jobs or clusters. In this talk, we will present the different types of skew that users often run into: data skew, key skew, event time skew, state skew, and scheduling skew, and discuss solutions for each of them. We hope this will serve as a guideline to help you reduce skew in your Flink environment.

“Alexa, be quiet!”: End-to-end near-real time model building and evaluation i...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
To improve Amazon Alexa experiences and support machine learning inference at scale, we built an automated end-to-end solution for incremental model building or fine-tuning machine learning models through continuous learning, continual learning, and/or semi-supervised active learning. Customer privacy is our top concern at Alexa, and as we build solutions, we face unique challenges when operating at scale such as supporting multiple applications with tens of thousands of transactions per second with several dependencies including near-real time inference endpoints at low latencies. Apache Flink helps us transform and discover metrics in near-real time in our solution. In this talk, we will cover the challenges that we faced, how we scale the infrastructure to meet the needs of ML teams across Alexa, and go into how we enable specific use cases that use Apache Flink on Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics to improve Alexa experiences to delight our customers while preserving their privacy.

Introducing BinarySortedMultiMap - A new Flink state primitive to boost your ...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Probably everyone who has written stateful Apache Flink applications has used one of the fault-tolerant keyed state primitives ValueState, ListState, and MapState. With RocksDB, however, retrieving and updating items comes at an increased cost that you should be aware of. Sometimes, these may not be avoidable with the current API, e.g., for efficient event-time stream-sorting or streaming joins where you need to iterate one or two buffered streams in the right order. With FLIP-220, we are introducing a new state primitive: BinarySortedMultiMapState. This new form of state offers you to (a) efficiently store lists of values for a user-provided key, and (b) iterate keyed state in a well-defined sort order. Both features can be backed efficiently by RocksDB with a 2x performance improvement over the current workarounds. This talk will go into the details of the new API and its implementation, present how to use it in your application, and talk about the process of getting it into Flink.

Introducing the Apache Flink Kubernetes OperatorFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
The Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator provides a consistent approach to manage Flink applications automatically, without any human interaction, by extending the Kubernetes API. Given the increasing adoption of Kubernetes based Flink deployments the community has been working on a Kubernetes native solution as part of Flink that can benefit from the rich experience of community members and ultimately make Flink easier to adopt. In this talk we give a technical introduction to the Flink Kubernetes Operator and demonstrate the core features and use-cases through in-depth examples."

Resource Elasticity is a frequently requested feature in Apache Flink: Users want to be able to easily adjust their clusters to changing workloads for resource efficiency and cost saving reasons. In Flink 1.13, the initial implementation of Reactive Mode was introduced, later releases added more improvements to make the feature production ready. In this talk, we’ll explain scenarios to deploy Reactive Mode to various environments to achieve autoscaling and resource elasticity. We’ll discuss the constraints to consider when planning to use this feature, and also potential improvements from the Flink roadmap. For those interested in the internals of Flink, we’ll also briefly explain how the feature is implemented, and if time permits, conclude with a short demo.

Dynamically Scaling Data Streams across Multiple Kafka Clusters with Zero Fli...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Flink consumers read from Kafka as a scalable, high throughput, and low latency data source. However, there are challenges in scaling out data streams where migration and multiple Kafka clusters are required. Thus, we introduced a new Kafka source to read sharded data across multiple Kafka clusters in a way that conforms well with elastic, dynamic, and reliable infrastructure. In this presentation, we will present the source design and how the solution increases application availability while reducing maintenance toil. Furthermore, we will describe how we extended the existing KafkaSource to provide mechanisms to read logical streams located on multiple clusters, to dynamically adapt to infrastructure changes, and to perform transparent cluster migrations and failover.

One sink to rule them all: Introducing the new Async SinkFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Next time you want to integrate with a new destination for a demo, concept or production application, the Async Sink framework will bootstrap development, allowing you to move quickly without compromise. In Flink 1.15 we introduced the Async Sink base (FLIP-171), with the goal to encapsulate common logic and allow developers to focus on the key integration code. The new framework handles things like request batching, buffering records, applying backpressure, retry strategies, and at least once semantics. It allows you to focus on your business logic, rather than spending time integrating with your downstream consumers. During the session we will dive deep into the internals to uncover how it works, why it was designed this way, and how to use it. We will code up a new sink from scratch and demonstrate how to quickly push data to a destination. At the end of this talk you will be ready to start implementing your own Flink sink using the new Async Sink framework.

Tuning Apache Kafka Connectors for Flink.pptxFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
In normal situations, the default Kafka consumer and producer configuration options work well. But we all know life is not all roses and rainbows and in this session we’ll explore a few knobs that can save the day in atypical scenarios. First, we'll take a detailed look at the parameters available when reading from Kafka. We’ll inspect the params helping us to spot quickly an application lock or crash, the ones that can significantly improve the performance and the ones to touch with gloves since they could cause more harm than benefit. Moreover we’ll explore the partitioning options and discuss when diverging from the default strategy is needed. Next, we’ll discuss the Kafka Sink. After browsing the available options we'll then dive deep into understanding how to approach use cases like sinking enormous records, managing spikes, and handling small but frequent updates.. If you want to understand how to make your application survive when the sky is dark, this session is for you!

The Table API is one of the most actively developed components of Flink in recent time. Inspired by databases and SQL, it encapsulates concepts many developers are familiar with. It can be used with both bounded and unbounded streams in a unified way. But from afar it can be difficult to keep track of what this API is capable of and how it relates to Flink's other APIs. In this talk, we will explore the current state of Table API. We will show how it can be used as a batch processor, a changelog processor, or a streaming ETL tool with many built-in functions and operators for deduplicating, joining, and aggregating data. By comparing it to the DataStream API we will highlight differences and elaborate on when to use which API. We will demonstrate hybrid pipelines in which both APIs interact with one another and contribute their unique strengths. Finally, we will take a look at some of the most recent additions as a first step to stateful upgrades.

Processing Semantically-Ordered Streams in Financial ServicesFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
What if my data is already in order? Stream Processing has given us an elegant and powerful solution for running analytic queries and logic over high volumes of continuously arriving data. However, in both Apache Flink and Apache Beam, the notion of time-ordering is baked in at a very low level, making it difficult to express computations that are interested in a semantic-, rather than time-ordering of the data. In financial services, what often matters the most about the data moving between systems is not when the data was created, but in what order, to the extent that many institutions engineer a global sequencing over all data entering and produced by their systems to achieve complete determinism. How, then, can financial institutions and others best employ Stream Processing on streams of data that are already ordered? I will cover various techniques that can make this work, as well as seek input from the community on how Flink might be improved to better support these use-cases.

Tame the small files problem and optimize data layout for streaming ingestion...Flink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
In modern data platform architectures, stream processing engines such as Apache Flink are used to ingest continuous streams of data into data lakes such as Apache Iceberg. Streaming ingestion to iceberg tables can suffer by two problems (1) small files problem that can hurt read performance (2) poor data clustering that can make file pruning less effective. To address those two problems, we propose adding a shuffling stage to the Flink Iceberg streaming writer. The shuffling stage can intelligently group data via bin packing or range partition. This can reduce the number of concurrent files that every task writes. It can also improve data clustering. In this talk, we will explain the motivations in details and dive into the design of the shuffling stage. We will also share the evaluation results that demonstrate the effectiveness of smart shuffling.

Batch Processing at Scale with Flink & IcebergFlink Forward
Flink Forward San Francisco 2022.
Goldman Sachs's Data Lake platform serves as the firm's centralized data platform, ingesting 140K (and growing!) batches per day of Datasets of varying shape and size. Powered by Flink and using metadata configured by platform users, ingestion applications are generated dynamically at runtime to extract, transform, and load data into centralized storage where it is then exported to warehousing solutions such as Sybase IQ, Snowflake, and Amazon Redshift. Data Latency is one of many key considerations as producers and consumers have their own commitments to satisfy. Consumers range from people/systems issuing queries, to applications using engines like Spark, Hive, and Presto to transform data into refined Datasets. Apache Iceberg allows our applications to not only benefit from consistency guarantees important when running on eventually consistent storage like S3, but also allows us the opportunity to improve our batch processing patterns with its scalability-focused features.

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).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

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.
