Bridging Adaptive Algorithms and the Public Good

Pulitzer Prize-winning tech journalist John Markoff chats with 2022-23 CASBS fellow Nathan Matias about often-overlooked public interest questions and concerns regarding the deployment of tech platform algorithms and AI models. Specifically, Matias is a player in filling the two-way knowledge gaps between civil society and tech firms with an eye on governance, safety, accountability, and advancing the science — including the social science — of human-algorithm behavior.   Nathan Matias: Cornell University faculty page https://infosci.cornell.edu/content/matias | CASBS bio https://casbs.stanford.edu/people/jorge-nathan-matias | Personal website https://natematias.com/ | Citizens & Technology Lab https://citizensandtech.org/ Coalition for Independent Technology Research https://independenttechresearch.org/ Select Matias publications "Humans and Algorithms Work Together — So Study Them Together" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01521-z (2023) "Impact Assessment of Human-Algorithm Feedback Loops" https://just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/impact-assessment-of-human-algorithm-feedback-loops/ (2022) "The Tragedy of the Digital Commons" https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/06/the-tragedy-of-the-digital-commons/395129/ (2015) "To Hold Tech Accountable, Look to Public Health" https://www.wired.com/story/tech-governance-public-health/ (2023) Link to more Nathan Matias public writing https://natematias.com/external-posts/ | Matias on Medium https://natematias.medium.com/ | on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/natematias/ | ------ Read John Markoff's latest book, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554161/whole-earth-by-john-markoff/ (Penguin Random House, 2022)   CENTER FOR ADVANCED STUDY IN THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES (CASBS) at Stanford University EXPLORE CASBS: website https://casbs.stanford.edu/|Twitter https://twitter.com/CASBSStanford|YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/CASBSBehavSci|LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/casbs-at-stanford-63798953/|podcast https://casbs.stanford.edu/podcast|latest newsletter https://mailchi.mp/7002f35f5272/newsletter-fall-2023?e=c2d0812d02|signup https://casbs.stanford.edu/about/newsletters|outreach​ https://casbs.stanford.edu/outreach Human Centered Producer: Mike Gaetani | Engineer & co-producer: Joe Monzel |

The Shadow of Cybersecurity Expertise

Pulitzer Prize-winning tech journalist & 2017-18 CASBS fellow John Markoff chats with 2022-23 CASBS fellow Rebecca Slayton on how the field of computing expertise evolved, eventually giving rise to the niche of professionals who protect systems from cyber-attacks. Slayton's forthcoming book explores the governance & risk implications emerging from the fact that cybersecurity experts must demonstrate their skill by paradoxically revealing vulnerabilities and insecurities of that which they seek to protect.

Challenging History Erasures to Expand Possible Futures

Two-time CASBS fellow Fred Turner engages CASBS board of directors chair Abby Smith Rumsey before a live audience to discuss her new book "Memory, Edited: Taking Liberties with History." When the erasure or distortion of collective memory through storytelling hijacks fact, truth, and history itself, what kind of information infrastructures can effectively confront those false narratives? Turner and Rumsey explore the tensions between history and storytelling and resulting implications for political beliefs, actions, and our collective sense of reality.

Toward Cross-disciplinary Consensus About Our (Mis)Information Environment

Fully understanding and regulating our complex information ecosystems will require creating new cultures and modes of collaborating, new organizational frameworks and, yes, working with generative AI models in service of aggregating actionable scientific knowledge. ANGELA ARISTIDOU (CASBS fellow, 2022-23) navigates the crucial questions and challenges with PHIL HOWARD (CASBS fellow, 2008-09), a renowned scholar of tech innovation and public policy as well as co-founder and chair of the new International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE).

The Memory Science Disruptor

Dan Simon, a 2022-23 CASBS fellow and USC law professor, joins in conversation with Elizabeth Loftus, a 1978-79 CASBS fellow and Distinguished Professor at UC Irvine. Loftus is known in the public sphere through her decades-long study of memory – specifically, its malleability and fallibility – as well as her application of findings as an expert witness or consultant in hundreds of legal cases. Loftus's book "Eyewitness Testimony," completed at the Center, charted the course of her career that followed and serves as this episode's launching point.

Jonathan Jansen's Power of Craft

While you're listening to this episode, 2016-17 CASBS fellow Jonathan Jansen likely will write another few thousand words. As a scholar of education & leader of education institutions, Jansen is South Africa's most towering figure. To call him prolific is a gross understatement. He writes a steady stream of books & more books. As a public intellectual he writes a separate steady stream of columns & essays. And he's written a family memoir too. We bring 2022-23 CASBS fellow Zimitri Erasmus, a social anthropologist who is working on a book on writing praxis, in conversation with Jansen to unlock some secrets & insights into his most powerful & liberating weapon for engaging the world – writing.
