Information technologies are expanding the parameters of media, pervading our environments, our systems, and our daily lives. The direct connection between people and their data is now brokered via algorithms. Machine learning, pattern recognition, and sensor driven applications play out behind the scenes. Understanding the conditions that help to build trust is a worthy challenge for the open, non-linear, multi-faceted, and globally connected world we live in.
Trust, Transparency & Technology is a series of panel discussions that delve into the research, concepts and tools that may help create open collaborations in a world of automated intelligent agents, algorithm-driven interactions, and machines that can learn what humans can’t explain.
Please join us on May 23, May 30 and June 5th as we bring together a diverse set of thought leaders from the Stanford community and industry to explore perceptions of trust, transparency and technology – in interdisciplinary research, human and AI collaborations, personalized algorithms and multi-sided data markets. Topics will include:
Trust and Transparency in Interdisciplinary Research Collaborations
Trust and Transparency in Human – AI Collaborations
Trust and Transparency in Personalized Algorithms
