SUMMARY:Navigating No Man's Land: Difficult Conversations in a Polarized World
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to engage with others on the topic of diversity but are afraid to stumble or offend? Do you need to challenge discrimination but are unsure how? \nAs part of the Osher Life-long Learning Institute (OLLI)\, this workshop will cover a variety of topics\, including conversational norms\, skills\, and barriers to productive conversations and options for responses to address offensive or tricky comments. All this will help you to make these discussions more productive!

SUMMARY:12/3 Lunch N Learn: Unmasking the Hidden Biases in Tech: Optimizing Hardware and Software Development & Deployment
DESCRIPTION:We tend to think that the development and deployment of technology is objective\, cold\, and dispassionate. But it is not! Technology is built by humans. And all humans are biased. So\, bias both impacts the way we build technology AND is built into our technology. This has been proven by research performed by organizations such as the World Economic Forum\, MIT\, and others.  \nIn this eye-opening workshop\, we’ll explore the often-overlooked biases that can significantly impact the development and deployment of hardware and software technologies. Participants will gain a deep understanding of cognitive\, social attribution\, and perception biases that unconsciously impact the tech industry. \nThrough interactive exercises and case studies\, attendees will develop practical skills to recognize and address biases in their own work. This workshop is essential for CTOs\, product managers\, developers\, and anyone involved in creating or implementing technology solutions. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\n Identify common biases such as algorithmic bias\, sampling bias\, and sunken cost fallacy\n Understand how these biases can lead to inefficient development and outcomes that are not optimal\n Identify strategies to mitigate biases in the development process\, algorithm design\, and user interface development\n\nJoin us to learn how to optimize development and deployment so that your company thrives and your users are excited. \nSponsored By \n      \n

SUMMARY:12/15 Beyond the Buzz: The Unspoken Realities of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world. But beneath its glossy exterior lie unsettling truths that demand scrutiny. Join us as we uncover the “dirty secrets” of AI\, exploring its hidden flaws\, ethical dilemmas\, and human dependencies. Participants will gain insight into the vulnerabilities and societal impacts of AI technologies. We’ll discuss how biases creep into algorithms\, the risks of misinformation from AI hallucinations\, and the exploitation of nuanced insights for profit. Through engaging discussions and real-world examples\, attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of AI’s limitations and the critical questions we must ask as it continues to shape our technological future.
