Generative AI Coast to Coast Webinar Series: An Under the Hood Look at Gen AI: Potentials & Pitfalls

About: The Generative AI Coast-to-Coast webinars brings together speakers from peer institutions to discuss Generative AI in research with the larger goal of fostering a broad community of cross-institutional and interdisciplinary researchers, and building research ideas and collaboration.

Participating institutions include Johns Hopkins University; the Ohio State University; Rice University; the International Computer Science Institute, an Affiliated Institute of University of California, Berkeley; University of Michigan; and the University of Washington.

Presentations:
"Generative AI & Elections: The Open Source* Problem" - David Evan Harris, Senior Research Fellow, International Computer Science Institute, an affiliated institute of the University of California, Berkeley

"Moving beyond one-size-fits-all in generative AI" - Rada Mihalcea, Janice M Jenkins Collegiate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Director, Michigan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory; University of Michigan

Thanks so much MIDAS for hosting, and Rada for the great conversation! You made me realize in particular how critical it is for the US to follow the EU's lead in granting people like you and your teams "vetted researcher" status to evaluate AI systems, and also how that needs to be expanded beyond recommender systems/social media/search to include gen AI platforms. Thank you for your team's great work!

You have to do something more to keep audience engagement alive, maybe little light entertainment or WIIFM factor (what's in it for me).

I know you're talking about artificial intelligence technology which is super heavy on data and you're not entertainers but remember the platform you're on.

Even the tech geek here know they can't just be themselves you really gotta sell your info not only to get subscribers, interaction, connectivity but just to be heard in this most highly research and competitive arena.

I am hardcore tech in the Enterprise space, and you guys managed to put me to sleep.

Albeit it's not all you. I've had a heavy dinner and it's really late or rather early in the morning depending on how you wanna look at it (See I'm chucking a you insteading just saying it's s#*t early in Sydney 2.20am) but the internet never sleeps never miss an opportunity people to pick up a new subscriber.

Thank you for sharing YouTube the new wave tech Colosseum and your talking cut throat threats and yet and if what is important enough for you to be here, you've not surving your greatest threat of not being heard by NOT doing your due diligence. Seriously in the age of AI you could get IT to write you a couple of jokes or something?

I hope you really do have something new to teach because like Arnie I'll be back (See what I did there that wasn't so hard? See I didn't even need an AI bot for that) for the rest of it, good morning to you all!
