The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is teaming up with the Zhejiang Lab for a hybrid forum on The 3rd Innovation forum on Intelligent Computing: How intelligent computing will enable intelligent systems. The 2-day meeting is October 19-20, 2023 and seeks to highlight the latest developments of alternative and emerging approaches to computing and to showcase advanced technologies that will enable the realization of intelligent computing systems. It will cover the use of intelligent approaches to assist computing systems design, scheduling and theory. This forum also seeks to promote the broader application and embodiment of intelligent computing hardware and software platforms in scientific research, industry innovation and […]

The Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) just released a white paper reflecting ideas that were presented and discussed at the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility sponsored by the CSL at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with co-sponsorship by the School of Information Sciences at the University. This symposium was the second of two symposia sponsored by CSL to celebrate its 70th anniversary.  Contemporary AI technologies are more powerful and pervasive than the original AI technologies created in university laboratories. While industry dominates AI today, universities can still play important roles. In this white paper, we recommend actions that universities should take to promote social responsibility in the development and […]

The Marconi Society will host a free virtual Symposium, The Decade of Digital Inclusion, on November 2-3, 2022.  The Marconi Society is a nonprofit chaired by Vint Cerf and dedicated to creating digital equity.  This event honors wireless innovator, Siavash Alamouti, recipient of the Eric E. Sumner Award, and the program includes a number of technology notables. With nearly half the world unconnected and $42B in broadband infrastructure funding going out to states in the US right now, digital equity is center stage in the journey to bring opportunity to everyone. The Decade of Digital Inclusion brings together technologists, policy makers and digital inclusion advocates to create collaborations to bridge […]

The NITRD 30th Anniversary Symposium was held in Washington D.C. at the National Spy Museum. The event provided an opportunity for the computing research community to come together and celebrate the impact that federal funding has had on computing technologies, innovations and the world at large. The day featured insightful remarks from key leaders in the community including Alondra Nelson (Deputy Assistant to the President Deputy Director for Science and Society White House Office of Science and Technology Policy), Barbara McQuiston (Director of Defense Research and Engineering for Research and Technology in the Department of Defense), Kamie Roberts (Director of the National Coordination Office for the Networking and Information Technology […]

For weeks we have been recapping the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Symposium from the perspective of the researchers and industry representatives who presented their work on each panel. This week, we are getting a different perspective. The goal of the final panel, called Connecting Computing Research with National Priorities and moderated by CCC Vice Chair Mark D. Hill, was to get a perspective from people who have or are currently serving in government. The panelists included: Will Barkis, from Orange Silicon Valley, shared a Silicon Valley perspective and called for increasing investment in basic research and development to benefit society as well as support innovation in industry. He emphasized that collaboration […]
