SUMMARY:Leadership in the Olympic Movement in Canada with Tricia Smith
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating its sixth year\, the 2020-21 Lougheed College Lectures are organized around the theme of leadership and public institutions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe 2020-21 Lougheed College Lecture series is organized around the theme of leadership and public institutions. Governments\, courts\, universities\, cultural institutions\, public health agencies\, financial regulators and other offices charged with ensuring the public good face special scrutiny from the people they serve. We expect our tax-funded institutions to deliver value for money\, and to act ethically and responsibly to ensure citizen well-being. And we have high demands for accountability and responsiveness. What does it take to lead such organizations\, especially when the decisions are fraught and the stakes are high? How do public leaders engage the people they serve in decision-making? How do they address dissent and controversy? What are the consequences of “fake news\,” the growing skepticism around expertise\, and political polarization for the necessary work of serving the public good? Our speakers will tackle these challenging issues with hard-won insights from the front lines. \nTricia Smith addresses the topic\, Leadership in the Olympic Movement in Canada as a featured guest of the Lougheed College Lectures.\nFrom doping to bribery; expense and politics\, and tensions over the COVID postponement of the 2020 games\, the Olympic movement has had to deal with some serious reputational blowback. To our credit\, Canadians have been at the forefront of upholding Olympic values against some significant challenges. Join PLLC to hear Tricia Smith

SUMMARY:AMii Virtual AI MeetUP
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the latest tools and techniques in machine learning\, and explore topics that researchers and industry professionals are thinking about or working on. Each meetup features two presenters; at the end of each presentation\, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session. \nPresenters for this month include: \nNick Kalogirou – Data Scientist at G2V Optics \nWe are still in the early days of determining what ethical practice looks like for the field of data science. There are numerous examples of both benefits and harms of artificial narrow intelligence. As AI-enabled technology continues developing\, ethics provides a lens to ask critical questions of both modeler and model. During this talk\, Nick will explore a brief overview of who is working on AI ethics; the themes of work; where we are lacking development; and what to do as data scientists about this continuous journey of ethics. \nShems Saleh – ML Lead at Vector Institute \nWhen a Machine Learning scientist starts a project with a healthcare professional\, it is not obvious what questions are important to ask in order to help the team get on the same page and develop clear expectations. This talk will discuss Collabsheets\, a list of questions directed at a broad audience that translates insights from experienced veterans in the ML-Health collaborative space into the field to everyone. The goal is to help grow the community by lowering the initial barrier to much-needed interdisciplinary collaboration. Each section divides these questions into topic categories\, with the aim of easier real-world use. \nJoin us virtually for Amii’s monthly AI Meetup and be a part of building Alberta’s growing AI community!
