SUMMARY:Ben Shneiderman - "Human-Centered AI"
DESCRIPTION:Greetings People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members: Our next PCI Community call will be Sunday 28th of August at 11:30 AM ET GMT-5 featuring \n  \nBen Shneiderman will be our guest speaker this Sunday 28 August. \nWe’re grateful to have Ben join us again and unpack highlights from his new book: Human-Centered AI (2022) – “The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities\, and some dark possibilities. However\, a bright future awaits those who build on their working methods by including HCAI strategies of design and testing. As many technology companies and thought leaders have argued\, the goal is not to replace people\, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology.” \nBackground: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Shneiderman | “Ben Shneiderman (born August 21\, 1947) is an American computer scientist\, a Distinguished University Professor in the University of Maryland Department of Computer Science\, which is part of the University of Maryland College of Computer\, Mathematical\, and Natural Sciences at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and the founding director (1983-2000) of the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab. He conducted fundamental research in the field of human–computer interaction\, developing new ideas\, methods\, and tools such as the direct manipulation interface\, and his eight rules of design.”

SUMMARY:David Smith "The Augmented Conversation"
DESCRIPTION:Greetings PCI Community – our guest speaker this Sunday 24 July is David Smith\, Founder and CTO of Croquet. \n  \nHis topic: “The Augmented Conversation” \n  \nDoug Engelbert expressed the idea of augmenting human intellect\, not just for individuals\, but as a collaborative experience. We have been working on Croquet\, with the goal of creating a foundation that would enable such an augmentation of our ability to create\, explore\, understand and solve problems collaboratively.  We define the augmented conversation as follows: \n  \n1) A discussion within a group of users that is extraordinarily enhanced with the kinds of tools and capabilities that are only available with a computer. \n2) A computer AI is a full participant in this conversation. It allows us to jointly discuss and explore complex systems\, data sets\, and simulations as naturally and easily as we engage today. \n3) There is a guarantee of shared truth. The simulation I see must be the exact same as what you see. Anything I do to affect the shared simulation must also be accurately shared. If this is not the case\, then there is no guarantee that what you see and understand is the same as for me\, so you are unable to trust that communication channel. \n  \nDavid believes in the very near future virtual objects will soon populate our world will be as responsive and alive as a physical object. There won’t be a physical reality and a virtual or augmented reality. Soon and in development now\, there will only be a seamless\, multi-user reality. \n  \nAbout David A. Smith | CEO/Founder Croquet Corporation \n\n\nDavid Alan Smith Smith is the CTO and Founder of Croquet Corporation\, developing the Croquet Web-based Operating System. \nSmith is a computer scientist and entrepreneur who has focused on interactive 3D and using 3D as a basis for new user environments and entertainment. He built his first human machine design (HMD) in 1986 to study telepresence control of a remote robot arm using a Dataglove. \nSmith was a Senior Fellow at Lockheed Martin\, where he focused on next generation human centric computing and collaboration platforms. Before that\, Smith was the chief architect of the Croquet Project\, an open-source virtual world collaboration platform where he worked with Alan Kay (Turing Award) and David P Reed (created UDP\, co-created TCP/IP) and Andreas Raab (Squeak Smalltalk co-developer). \nIn 1987\, Smith created The Colony\, the first real time 3D adventure game/shooter. Smith developed Virtus Walkthrough in 1990\, the first real-time 3D design application for personal computers. Smith also co-founded Red Storm Entertainment with author Tom Clancy and co-created the Rainbow Six game franchise. David gave the keynote address at IEEE VR 2017. \n\nYou will receive a meeting notice with connection information later today from PCI Guests & Speakers Committee member Kacey Komloski. \nPlease join us.

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call: Arthur Brock: Transitioning into Information Age Economies & Web3 Approaches that Actually Scale
DESCRIPTION:For PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here. \n  \nHello\, PCI Community Members. \nWe’re pleased to announce our speaker for Sunday 5 May: Arthur Brock \nArt’s topic: Transitioning into Information Age Economies & Web3 Approaches that Actually Scale \nBackground\nArthur Brock builds targeted currencies which shape the social dynamics of our emerging post-industrial economy. He has created more than a hundred designs for multi-currency systems and his software company has built and deployed dozens of those systems.\nInitially\, Arthur put his experience in Artificial Intelligence to use at GM\, Chrysler & Hughes\, but shifted his focus to building intelligence into social architectures rather than to computers. He started student-run schools and award-winning\, employee-run businesses and discovered the engine that runs these types of organizations involve specific patterns of incentives and feedback. He began to unlock secrets of the Social DNA by which people operate and the critical role of currencies for programming these patterns.\nArthur’s designs include currency systems for: collaborative scientific research\, sustainable fishery management\, corporate compensation plans\, employee stock options\, community-based economic development\, business barter and exchange\, triple-bottom-line trade credits\, open source software development\, customer loyalty programs\, water rights\, recirculating gift certificates\, community service\, employee performance management\, arts & culture development\, efficient resource sharing & management\, and community & environmental impact assessment. \nYou might know Art from some of his projects and companies (past or present):\nAgile Learning Centers\nEmerging Leader Labs\nCeptr\nStreamscapes\nNew Currency Frontiers\nMetaCurrency Project\nFlowplace\nLocal Capital Summit\nLifeblood Design\nGeek Gene\nMile High Business Alliance\nTargeted Currencies Network\nDream Team Technologies\nArtful Solutions or Artful Internet Solutions\nThe Foundation for Inventive Learning\nThe Journal of Integral Living \nHere are some additional links to Art and his work: \nhttps://www.artbrock.com/ \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/artbrock/ \nhttps://artbrock.medium.com/ \n  \nWe hope you are able to join us!

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call: Regenerative Thinking with Dave Witzel
DESCRIPTION:For PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here. \n  \nHello\, People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members. \n  \nPlease join us Sunday 10 April at 11:30 AM ET.  We’re pleased to have Dave Witzel as the featured guest for our PCI Community call. He will be discussing Discovering Regeneration with Hints from the Internet. \nRegeneration is… a new buzz word? An accelerating movement? The savior of our future?  Somewhere in between?  David will use his journey towards understanding to start to unpack what “regeneration” means\, where it comes from\, why thinking regeneratively might matter\, and how it builds on what we’ve learned from the Internet.  We’ll visit some definitions\, look at some regenerative projects\, and discuss some characteristics that distinguish regenerative activities. \nDavid Witzel is a coordinator of the Global Regeneration CoLab\, a founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Sector Accelerator\, formerly with EDF (Environmental Defense Fund)\, and a  founder of web development firm Forum One Communications. He was infected by the Regeneration meme about 7 years ago and is committed to understanding and advancing it. He wrote Designing Open Projects: Lessons From Internet Pioneers.

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call: Dr. Kathy Laskey
DESCRIPTION:For PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here. \n  \nHello\, People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members. \nThis Sunday 27 March at 11:30 AM ET we’re pleased to have Dr. Kathy Laskey as the featured guest for our PCI Community call. Thanks to Lin Wells for inviting her to be with us.\n\nKathryn Blackmond Laskey is Professor in the Systems Engineering and Operations Research Department\, Director of the Center for Resilient and Sustainable Communities (C-RASC)\, and Associate Director of the C4I and Cyber Center at George Mason University. She teaches and performs research in information fusion\, decision theoretic knowledge representation and reasoning\, Bayesian data analytics\, decision support\, and uncertainty aware semantic technology. Dr. Laskey develops methods for transforming data from a variety of sources into information to answer our questions and improve our decisions. She has applied her research to diverse areas\, including crisis response planning\, analyzing susceptibility to phishing attacks\, detecting insider threats in information systems\, predicting innovations in science and technology\, and analyzing resilience of hospitals to cyber-attacks. With greater interconnectivity and reliance on technology comes the potential for disruption due to technology failures\, natural disasters\, or malicious human activity. With her colleagues at C-RASC\, Dr. Laskey performs research to foster sustainable community resilience in the face of disruptions. \nDr. Laskey will speak about George Mason’s Center for Resilient and  Sustainable Communities (C-RASC which  brings together researchers and practitioners from diverse\, sustainable backgrounds to address locally led resilience and sustainability initiatives supported by effective\, replicable models. Accelerating rates of technological\, social\, and climate change are placing unprecedented stresses on communities. These stresses demand an integrated approach to fostering resilience. As the world becomes ever more interconnected\, the information technology revolution has created disruptive change\, but also offers the opportunity for unprecedented good. Enhanced connectivity and digital opportunity are key elements of community resilience in today’s world. C-RASC’s community-focused approach to digital opportunity harmonizes with the People Centered Internet’s vision of an Internet that is a positive force for enhanced well-being of all people.

SUMMARY:Doug Hohulin\, "People-Centered Metaverse"
DESCRIPTION:Greetings People Centered Internet (PCI) Community members: \nOur next PCI Community call will be Sunday 13 February at 11:30 AM ET GMT-5 featuring Doug Hohulin\, a regular participant on our calls. He will share: \n  \n“Creating a People-Centered Metaverse of Abundance and Opportunity for All” \n  \nDoug will provide a short overview of what is the Metaverse and how to prepare for the changes in our world that are about to take place – and insight on how to create a positive people-centered metaverse for all. The Metaverse/XR/Spatial Web 3/Web 3D is going to be as disruptive to our world in the late 2020s as smartphones were in the 2010s and cell phones & PCs in the 2000s. \n  \nToday businesses and educators are struggling with Teams & Zoom meetings and XR is difficult to use.  But in the next three to five years\, metaverse technology could be as easy to use as a smartphone.  In 10 years\, smartglasses will replace the smartphone for a fully immersive experience that is indistinguishable from the physical world.   \nRather than a world of Hyper-Reality\, Doug is working to create a world of Consonance-Reality\, a world of calmness when needed yet a world of learning\, connecting\, information\, entertainment\, excitement\, and joy when desired (preview: youtube.com/watch?v=YJg02ivYzSs). \n  \nDoug is a Metaverse – XR – Web 3D Technology & Innovation Advisor focusing on healthcare\, education\, AV/transportation and 5G/6G projects. He worked at Nokia/Motorola for 33 years connecting people to the people\, information and things they value.  Doug worked as a Government Technology & Innovation Advisor to Aspen Institute fellow to create a policy memo for the Chief Innovation Officer at the Department of Labor that addresses XR in industry and is focusing on how the Metaverse will impact the future of work.  From 1G to 5G and even 6G\, XR/Metaverse\, AV\, AI\, Telepresence\, Distance Learning\, Telemedicine\, Smart City & Digital Health projects\, Doug focuses on strategy and business development for a more abundant and sustainable world for all.  Doug is working to connect the unconnected\, the elimination of the 1.35M road traffic deaths and to increase the digital economy & reduce the physical economy to minimize humanity’s carbon footprint.  He is part of the KC Health Innovation Team kcdigitaldrive.org/project/health-innovation-team/\, KC & TxDOT AV Task Forces\, Kansas University Cybersecurity Board\, University of Central Missouri (UCM) Gigabit Lab Advisory Board and a High School VR Hackathon Mentor and girlsteaminstitute.org/  Mentor.  He co-leads the KU school of Nursing AR/AR Animating Medical Manikin Team project that won 1st Prize in the AR/VR Hackathon to use XR to lower the cost of existing $30K-$200K Manikins Solutions. This team is building a coalition of Nursing schools in the KC metro areas to deploy 5G/XR technology for medical simulation and other applications. \nDoug has spoken on 5G\, 6G\, Metaverse/XR\, AI\, AV\, future of work & Cybersecurity to K-12\, University Students\, Customers\, Partners\, Government\, IEEE and other groups.

The Lab closely follows the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) definition of QoL (WHOQOL) with its four domains (physical\, psychological\, social\, and environmental) and 26 contributing facets. I present state-of-the-art in the domain and draw future scenarios for these technologies. I want to sparkle a discussion on what Quality of Life domain/facet you care for and how we can measure it longitudinally? \nKatarzyna Wac Bio \nProf. Katarzyna Wac is the leader of the Quality of Life (QoL) technologies research area affiliated with the Geneva School of Economics (GSEM)\, Center for Informatics at University of Geneva (CUI\, Switzerland)\, and\, since 2015 – also with the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) of University of Copenhagen (Denmark). In 2013-2020 she was also affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine (MED).

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Students of Leadership with Jeffrey Page
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday\, December 5th at 8:30 AM PT (11:30 AM ET) for a discussion about leadership with Jeffrey Page. \nJeffrey has spent much of his career studying what makes an effective leader and how leadership skills at every level are critical to the success of every organization. Jeffrey is very excited to engage with the PCI community to explore the topic of leadership with the vast leadership experience of this community. \nJeff Page’s book\, Becoming a Student of Leadership –Making Leadership a Practice\, approaches the subject of leadership as an exercise in perpetual self-reflection – and demonstrates a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership ability. Jeff doesn’t offer a simple formula or set of rules for becoming an effective leader. He presents a series of stories\, meditations\, and essays that explore universal themes of leadership\, drawing on his 30-plus years of experience as a leader with anecdotes that will resonate with readers and help them with their own reflective paths to gaining self-awareness and becoming students of leadership. \nJeffrey Page’s Bio \nhttps://jeffrey.page/ \nWith over 30 years of professional experience building and leading high-performing teams\, Jeff Page is still working on his leadership practice. He is currently working as the vice president of operations for a small government IT consulting business\, Precise Software Solutions. Prior to his current work in the private sector\, Jeff spent over 27 years working for the federal government. He served as the chief operating officer at the Corporation for National and Community Service (now named AmeriCorps) from 2014 to 2017 and as budget director from 1998 to 2005. From 2005 to 2014\, Jeff worked as the chief financial officer for the Library of Congress. Jeff began his career as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, and he spent 12 years working with the Peace Corps – 10 in Africa and two at Peace Corps headquarters. \n  \nFor PCI Community member invitation only. \nTo be a member of our PCI community click here.

SUMMARY:PCI Community Call - Technology for Humanity with Sarah McCue
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Sarah McCue will join us on Sunday\, November 7th at 8:30 AM PT ( 11:30 AM ET) \nTopic: Technology for Humanity: Will Connectivity Progress Humanity? \nThe United Nations estimates that 3.6 billion people\, almost half of the world’s population\, currently lack access to the Internet.  However\, in less than a decade\, the UN is predicting that most every person will have safe and affordable access to the Internet. \nThis universal connectivity is expected by 2030\, and it is breathtaking to ponder what the world will be like when most are interconnected.  Will greater peace\, prosperity\, education\, cultural understanding\, transparency\, and overall happiness increase\, or\, instead\, will universal access to the Internet result in more war and violence\, less prosperity\, no greater access to education\, the same levels of corruption\, and a world population that is more anxious\, isolated and depressed? \nTo predict the future\, we must know our past.  We must understand how connectivity has profoundly changed our way of life since the Internet took hold in the mid-1980s\, including impact on mental and physical health\, loss of human connection\, transformation of physical communities\, loss of privacy\, and attacks on truth. \n  \n\nLoss of Human Connection\nTransformation of Physical Communities\nLoss of Privacy\nAttacks on Truth\nIs There Hope That Connectivity Will Progress Humanity?\n\n  \nSee the attached document “Technology For Humanity” for more on the outline above. \nAbout Sarah McCue \nA well-known advocate for the innovative use of information and communication technologies in developing countries\, Dr. Sarah McCue is the author of several technical books and social entrepreneur. \nShe is founder of BluWorld\, launched in collaboration with Google and Cisco Foundation to provide opportunities to youth in developing countries; co-founder of The Remembering Site\, a memoir-writing platform to write and preserve the stories of our elders; and is founder of Women with 2020 Vision to empower women through online mentoring\, initially funded by the Elon Musk Foundation. She has served the United Nations as manager of the United Nations Development Program Information and Communications Technology for Development practice; Panel of Advisers to the United Nations Global Alliance for Technology and Development; World Bank senior partnership adviser for the technology industry; senior adviser to the United Nations International Trade Centre as well as consultant to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development\, United Nations Industrial Development Organization\, and World Bank.
