*Greetings Colleagues, * Slightly different than the NN discussions - though definitely related to tech and society, two brief items to share: 1. "Those Who Forget History..." post that compares how rapid technological progress in the late 1890s and 1900s appears to have created similar social behaviors that we now see today regarding AI and other advancements: *https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/those-who-forget-history-ai-post-linkedin-ate-david-bray-phd-tq1wc * 2. The National Academy of Public Administration (of which I am a part) has started an 8-part series around "AI and the Public Sector" with the first ~25 minute video discussing "AI Services to Citizens"* https://events.govexec.com/napa-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-the-public-sector/ *... it should be available for anyone wanting to watch it on demand. Also, the second part, for those interested, on "AI-Driven Decision Making" will air on Monday, 30 October at 1100 ET here: *https://events.govexec.com/napa-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-the-public-sector-ai-driven-decision-making/ * Comments and thoughts welcomed on both 1 and 2; with highest regards, -d. -- Principal, LeadDoAdapt Ventures, Inc. & Distinguished Fellow Henry S.
