RAAIS 2019 - Andrew Trask in conversation with Morten Dahl, Peter Eckersley & Brendan McMahan

Andrew Trask (OpenMined, DeepMind, Oxford) in conversation w/Morten Dahl (Dropout Labs), Peter Eckersley (Partnership on AI) and Brendan McMahan (Google AI)

Morten Dahl works in privacy-preserving machine learning and is the creator of TF Encrypted, an open-source project for integrating and experimenting with secure machine learning in TensorFlow. With a background in cryptography and privacy, Morten has spent recent years applying and adapting techniques from these fields to ML. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Aarhus University.

Brendan McMahan is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google, where he leads efforts on decentralized and privacy-preserving machine learning. The team that he co-founded has pioneered the concept of federated learning and continues to push the boundaries of what is possible when working with decentralized data using privacy-preserving techniques. Brendan joined Google in 2007 and previously received his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University.

Peter Eckersley is Director of Research at the Partnership on AI, a collaboration between the major technology companies, civil society, and academia to ensure that AI is designed and used to benefit humanity. He leads PAI's research on machine learning policy and ethics, including projects within PAI itself and projects in collaboration with the Partnership's extensive membership. Peter was previously the Chief Computer Scientist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
