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!

DESCRIPTION:[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9g_WmnXPfw[/embedyt] \nPlease join and collaborate with our own Vint Cerf as we discuss scenarios and solutions | Global Warming: Calculating Risk | Global Climate Action Forum: \nNote there are three links where Vint Cerf is speaking\n\n\n\nVinton Cerf – Global Warming: Calculating Risk: here\nBreakout room facilitator Vinton Cerf: listen to insights here\nVinton Cerf – the ‘The Queue Theory’ and how it relates to humanity: here\n\n  \n\n\nGLOBAL CLIMATE ACTION FORUM powered by BBG\nGlobal Warming: Calculating Risk\nwith Vinton Cerf3rd May 2022 Tuesday\n8:00 am – 10:00 am NSW | ZoomVint Cerf is recognized as one of “the fathers of the Internet”. Join us\, as Vint explores how Technology will drive the change with Climate Change and Global Warming. \nGlobal warming is underway and it is unlikely we can do more than delay its impact. We must start thinking more about coping with — than stopping — the effects. Computing has a role to play. No\, not limiting the data centres — we need the computational power and we are reducing power requirements per FLOP as we speak. We need to capture and analyse a lot of sensor data to predict impacts. We need to use machine learning to control pollution\, consumption\, distribution of energy. We need to use our knowledge of DNA and biology to craft food sources that survive at higher temperatures and use less water. We need to plan for potentially massive migration from areas growing uninhabitable. Let’s use our computing power to enhance our ability to design responses to this clear and present threat.\n\nJoin Vint Cerf – WORLD AUTHORITY FIGURE IN TECHNOLOGY – as he explores the emerging technologies and the impacts they will have on business\, culture\, Climate Change and Global Warming. \nThis is a highly interactive event. \nWe will collaborate and collectively discuss issues\, solutions and actionable steps.\n\nSPEAKER – WORLD AUTHORITY FIGURE – Vinton Gray Cerf known as a “Father of the Internet\,” Cerf is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. \nIn December 1997\, President Bill Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his colleague\, Robert E. Kahn\, for founding and developing the Internet. In 2004\, Cerf was the recipient of the ACM Alan M. Turing award (sometimes called the “Nobel Prize of Computer Science”) and in 2005 he was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George Bush. \nYOU & THE #BBGTHINKTANK \nVint’s “knowledge share” will be followed by the #bbgthinktank\, where you will breakout into a group of 5-7 delegates and explore how you can implement the learnings from Vint into your organisation. These insights will be ‘unpacked’ and discussed. \nI’m sure you will find this forum useful\, informative and stimulating. \nIf you’re interested in learning\, collaborating and growing with us\, join us at this forum. \nYou will be provided with a Zoom link prior to the meeting. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nOnwards and upwards\,\nThe BBG Climate Action Forum Members \nFeel free to join us on our other forums. \n\n\nhttps://events.humanitix.com/global-warming-calculating-risk-with-vint-cerf-global-climate-action-forum-powered-by-bbg [events.humanitix.com]

SUMMARY:Ukraine IT Update 2022: Resilience and Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\,\n \nI wanted to share a quick update regarding a special CxOTalk live discussion organized by Michael Krigsman. Live on Tuesday\, 12 April 2022 – he will host both Konstantin Vasyuk – Executive Director of the IT Ukraine Association\, the largest association of the tech industry in Ukraine – and I for a conversation on what is right now one of “the ultimate tests in IT resiliency”\, specially providing IT services in Ukraine amid everything happening in that conflict region. \nThose of us who have had the privilege to serve in IT leadership positions know it’s a combination of having long-term vision and day-to-day execution with the reality that when IT works\, practically no one notices\, and when it doesn’t for whatever reason folks can get vocal. Providing IT services to keep things running in Ukraine\, especially essential services in a warzone\, is tremendously demanding – and I hope you’ll join Michael and I as we here from Konstantin first-hand his experiences being “on the front lines” literally with IT resilience and leadership in Ukraine. \nFollow this link to watch to show will be live from 1300-1345 ET on 12 April with a video replay available later on CxOTalk.com – and as always\, please Be Bold\, Be Brave\, and Be Benevolent!

Digital tools as well as digital skills can make their integration in new countries easiest and also facilitate their return to the country once the conflict is closed. \nIt is difficult to remain silent that is why the Youth IGF refers to its mission and develops special program to assist young displaced people from Ukraine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe call on all our partners and policy-makers to support our youth community in helping to achieve the goals of our special programme for Ukraine\, and allow displaced young Ukrainians to have a bright future. \nYou can make a donation or offer a job to Ukrainian youth via the Youth IGF. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriendly regards\, \nYuliya Morenets \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT 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.
