SUMMARY:The Psychology of Misleading Information
DESCRIPTION:The Psychology of Misleading Information\n  \nWe are bombarded by information everywhere we turn. Much of it is from people and organizations dedicated to getting you to believe something and to act on it. How do we get our information? Who do we believe?  \nThe art of persuasion and the psychology of how people communicate online and off is big business. How can you spot logic and logical fallacies? Is there any way to discern useful information from misinformation or disinformation?   \nCome join us for a presentation and discussion about the tools and methods that information peddlers and influencers use to attract your attention and get you to believe what they want vice what someone else does.   \nPresentation by Phil Youngblood\, Ph.D.

SUMMARY:World Space Week
DESCRIPTION: “World Space Week is an international celebration of science and technology\, and their contribution to the betterment of the human condition. The United Nations General Assembly declared in 1999 that World Space Week will be held each year from October 4-10.” — https://www.worldspaceweek.org/about/ \n“International Observe the Moon Night is a time to come together with fellow Moon enthusiasts and curious people worldwide. Everyone on Earth is invited to learn about lunar science and exploration\, take part in celestial observations\, and honor cultural and personal connections to the Moon. We encourage everyone to interpret ‘observe’ broadly!” — https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon-night/about/overview/ \nThe Science Circle has always been enthusiastic about events that bring the world together in the common interest of science and education about our world and ourselves. Following our participation in Observe the Moon Night in 2022\, we decided to form the Science Circle Moon Base Project to explore the question of how we might one day live and work on the Moon. Every Monday for the last three years\, we have continued to explore this question in a variety of ways and to share what we have discovered along the way with others. \nJoin us on Saturday\, 4 October\, to learn about how we plan to celebrate World Space Week and Observe the Moon Night this year and to learn some of what we have discovered about the issues associated with the exciting prospect of humans venturing to worlds beyond the Earth!

SUMMARY:Towards an Anthropology of Agentic AI Sandboxes:  Emerging Agency in Experimental Governance.
DESCRIPTION:Catalysed by widespread technological disruption\, large-scale plans for national level AI regulatory sandboxes across the European Union (EU) are on the ascendant. Articles 57\, 58 and 59 of the newly created EU AI Act are mobilising what represents “one of the most important technological developments across all member states.” Although their main objective is to supply the global community with safe and innovative AI systems\, built upon an ethos of responsible development\, economic growth\, technological advancement and societal benefit programmes\, these experimental governance frameworks are encountering a mixture of mistrust and ambivalence from the AI Governance community. For many stakeholders\, however\, interaction with sandbox initiatives may bring necessary innovation opportunities and regulatory clarity for their organisations and communities\, with the prospect of a fruitful and technologically progressive future. Yet\, in the process\, tech companies\, regulatory bodies\, research institutions and civil society groups have entered into a process of speculation about the future of AI experimental governance which has fed into concerns regarding technological control and democratic participation. \nConversely\, the process of ontological negotiation that different stakeholders bring to sites of experimental AI governance may represent an opportunity to address fundamental sociotechnical challenges including algorithmic accountability\, democratic participation in technological decision-making\, and the equitable distribution of both AI benefits and risks. While simultaneously revealing how current sandbox frameworks may inadvertently reproduce exclusions that limit their transformative potential for fostering more just and inclusive technological futures. Rather than pitching corporate interests against civil society\, this presentation will examine the technical ontologies centered on computational/AI emergence\, regulatory ontologies highlighting legal containment\, commercial ontologies emphasising market value\, and social ontologies acknowledging relational agency that may generate productive tensions that may both facilitate and limit opportunities for democratic technological governance. \nDrawing on Anne-Marie Mol’s work on ontological politics\, we can understand how these various ontological framings do not merely compete and collaborate within sandbox environments\, but actively enact different realities of what experimental AI governance is. The sociotechnical assemblages that may emerge through these regulatory practices may reveal both the limitations of purely technical approaches to AI safety and the generative potential of hybrid governance arrangements. Following Mol’s insight that ontologies are performed rather than given\, these sandboxes may become sites where multiple\, potentially contradictory versions of Agentic AI agency\, risk\, and control are simultaneously enacted and coordinated\, acknowledging multiple forms of human and AI agency. Critical decisions around exceptions and exit governance from sandboxes exemplify these relational agencies\, for example when an algorithm misbehaves\, will it be the legal ontology that serves as a site of intervention\, algorithmic agency or both? By anticipating how these ontological politics could emerge in practice\, it attempts to move beyond reductive framings that treat AI systems as either passive regulatory objects or autonomous technological agents but as situationally linked in the sociotechnical network with the potential for a more than human Agentic AI Governance. \nBy Christine Louise\, MRes

SUMMARY:Writing for Low-Watt Brains
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Best Writing Tips for Low-Watt Brains in an AI World\n \nAbstract: Now we know just how huge and hungry artificially powered intelligence will be. The human brain runs on less wattage than it takes to light a refrigerator bulb. We human-sourced communicators must streamline our tactics for simpler yet more powerful writing to stay relevant. This presentation shares many immediate tips to better connect your words to the hearts and \nminds of others\, as the human touch becomes a scarcer and richer skill. \n \nBio: Steven R. Van Hook teaches communications and cross-cultural relations for the University of California and elsewhere. He’s been a newspaper columnist\, TV news anchor\, and bureau chief in Moscow. He has a PhD specializing in transcultural \neducation\, and has published in journals including UNESCO’s Prospects and Sage’s Journal of Research in International Education\n\n
