From their diverse backgrounds and wide-ranging physical and virtual travels, Berkman Klein Center fellows bring fresh ideas, skills, passion, and connections to the Center and our community, and from their time spent in Cambridge help build and extend new perspectives and actions back out into their home networks, communities, and fields.ДЄ non-traditional appointment that defies any one-size-fits-all description, each Berkman Klein fellowship carries a unique set of opportunities, responsibilities, and expectations based on each fellowвЂ™s goals.ДЇellows appointed through this open call come into their fellowship with a personal research agenda and set of ambitions they wish to conduct while at the Center. The program encourages and supports fellows in an inviting and playful intellectual environment with community activities designed to foster inquiry and risk-taking to identify and expose common threads across fellowsвЂ™ individual activities and to bring fellows into conversation with the students, staff, faculty, and broader community at the Berkman Klein Center. Inspired by our mission statement, the Berkman Klein CenterвЂ™s fellowship program provides an opportunity for some of the worldвЂ™s most innovative thinkers and changemakers to come together to hone and share ideas, find camaraderie, and spawn new initiatives. Our method is to build out into cyberspace, record data as we go, self-study, and share. We are a research center, premised on the observation that what we seek to learn is not already recorded. Still, the event offered a window into some of the relevant activities across the Berkman Klein Center and Media Lab that inform the joint AI initiative.вЂњThe Berkman Klein Center's mission is to explore and understand cyberspace to study its development, dynamics, norms, and standards and to assess the need or lack thereof for laws and sanctions. (The event adds to earlier AI ethics conversationsВ led by Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab, and Iyad Rahwan, associate professor at the Media Lab and an architect of Moral Machine, an interactive tool to explore moral questions that autonomous vehicle AI systems might need to make.) Not all members of the expanding AI community were able to attend. The photos, videos, and summaries below capture some of the topics, concerns, and hopes expressed by attendees about the ethics and governance of AI. The event was meant as a community kickoff. Such technologies are widely employed today to guide corporate processes (such as insurance and financial risk analysis) and some public ones (such as in criminal sentencing in some jurisdictions) fully automated versions govern how news, updates, and advertising are presented to hundreds of millions of people via online social networks. On May 15, 2017, the Berkman Klein Center in collaboration with the Media Lab hosted вЂњAI Advance,вЂќ a convening of 120 community members, including faculty, researchers, students, and fellows, in order to reflect and engage on the societal challenges of AI and related technologies, forge collaborations, and start to design research programs.Д®ven though the event was not focused particularly on youth, the debates of the event apply to all age ranges.Дuring AI Advance, the term вЂњAIвЂќ was used in a broad sense to describe complex decision-making algorithms fueled by public and private datasets, rather than as a strict computer science term of art.
