SUMMARY:How to Build Anything Ethically
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This discussion of ethical decision making when building techno
 logies\nin a ‘Good Way’ includes two examples. First\, I illustrate ho
 w the\nprotocol for building a Lakota sweat lodge can act as a framework f
 or\nbuilding a physical computing device. Next\, I provide an example of\n
 how multiple streams of protocol are necessary to build an AI system\nas a
  confluence of ethics. Some ideas proposed here are not currently\npossibl
 e\, some are possible if investment is made in the necessary\nresearch\, a
 nd some are possible but only through a radical change in\nthe way technol
 ogy companies are run and the pyramid of compensation\nfor the exploitatio
 n of resources is reversed.\n\nJoin via this Zoom link\n[https://uwaterloo

SUMMARY:Is AI the Solution? Or Is It Already Being Overused?
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is the cutting edge in decision-making 
 and\ncomputer science. However\, there is also the sense that AI is nothin
 g\nmore than a buzzword used in almost every facet of our lives right\nnow
 . Given the current buzz surrounding AI\, it is relevant to ask:\nwhat are
  the limits of AI? In many instances\, such as with military\ntechnology\,
  the availability of artificial intelligence is what made\nthe technology 
 possible in the first place. Can we expect systems to\nachieve decision-ma
 king capabilities and performances that are better\nthan human across doma
 ins?
