Computationally Speaking Seminar Series

Digital technologies and content are often designed without considering the needs of people with disabilities. This means that people with disabilities may be excluded from education, employment, healthcare, and commerce which often require the use of digital technologies and content which are not accessible. If people with disabilities notify the developers or owners, or in some cases take legal action, those digital technologies and/or content are then sometimes retrofitted to become accessible. However, retrofitting for accessibility is problematic for a number of reasons.

Care-AI Seminar Series: Animation and Artificial Intelligence, or How and Why is Chat GPT Like Mickey Mouse

Animation increasingly defines the cultural contours of the twenty-first century and is broadly used across many forms of digital media. More than just cartooning, puppetry, or CGI, animation is a paradigm involving the projection of qualities perceived as human, such as power, agency, will, and personality outside of the self and onto objects in the environment.

Care-AI Seminar Series: Protecting Individual Privacy in Machine Learning

Modern machine learning systems are trained on massive amounts of data. It turns out that, without special care, machine learning models are prone to regurgitating or otherwise revealing information about individual data points. This is problematic when parts of the training data are sensitive or contain private information, as is commonly the case in many settings of interest. Dr. Kamath will discuss differential privacy, a rigorous notion of data privacy, and how it can be used to provably protect against such inadvertent data disclosures by machine learning models.
