So this is what courage looks like

Imagine how "boat rocking" these opinions and questions appeared to be, so many years ago. They're downright "civilized" and cordial compared to the present, dug in, "told you so" state of things, don't you think?

The speaker is Kenneth Oye, a professor in political science and engineering systems at MIT, and director of the MIT Program on Emerging Technologies. He is also one of the faculty PIs in the NSF Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center, where he works with engineering folks like Jay Kiesling, George Church, Drew Endy, Tom Knight, and others who are in the same broad field that Craig Venter and his group work in. Oye discusses the recent creation of artificial life by Craig Venter and his team, which has received significant press coverage. He notes that while the discovery is significant and interesting, it is both less dramatic and more interesting than what much of the media attention has suggested. Venter took a benign microorganism, made adjustments and modifications to its DNA, synthesized the genome from scratch, and implanted it in cytoplasm to create an artificial cell that is self-replicating. Oye notes that this is a logical extension of things that have been going on for a while, with logarithmic increases in the power of sequencing and synthesis of DNA. However, he also notes that it is a breakthrough in the creation of an artificial life form. The reaction to this has been all over the map, with some calling for a slow down or halt in the development of the technology, largely out of Europe and some American non-governmental organizations, while others in industry have focused on the potential for good and not wanting to encumber or slow down the development of the technology. Oye believes that much of the reactions have grossly exaggerated the significance of what has taken place in the near term, but that over the longer term, increasingly radical redesigns of organisms will be taking place with applications ranging from good to some risk of evil. He notes that the organism itself was not radically redesigned and is quite benign, and that everything that Venter is doing now could be done using other methods and means. In the area of potential applications, Oye notes that there is a lot of research taking place right now using more traditional methods of recombinant DNA work to create biofuels, re-engineering yeast to create metabolic pathways for better fuels, and in the area of medicine, creating compounds using re-engineered bacteria with metabolic pathways to create isoprenoids, and even in the area of sensing, developing biosensors that could be detecting toxics like arsenic. He also notes that one of the potential greatest areas of application might even be bioremediation, the redesign of organisms microorganisms to be breaking down complex organic molecules like petroleum. Oye also discusses the risks associated with the technology, including the possibility that the Venter approach to the creation of life creates intellectual property rights which then can be used to lock up and control the development and diffusion of the technologies. He notes that there is some risk of this, but it's not that likely, and that there are a couple reasons why greater concentration may be possible but not as likely as in the case of Microsoft. He also notes that there have been a series of developments that diminish somewhat the likelihood that Venter will be able to ride patent monopolies into a world of dominance. Oye also notes that a coalition of non-governmental organizations including Friends of the Earth, etc. and others issued a statement two days ago calling for much more intensive regulation before these technologies are developed further. He notes that over the long term with radical redesigns, safety and security and environmental implications should be looked ahead and anticipated, and that there should be more scrutiny and monitoring of the technologies as they develop with systematic attention to gathering the information that is needed to be doing the profiling of the risks. Oye's position is a little bit different from the standard industry line of let a thousand flowers bloom of varying colors and genetic backgrounds or the NGO position of maybe it's time for a moratorium. He believes that the technology should be developing but with far more in the way of information gathering and oversight than is the case now without necessarily shutting down in fact without shutting down the development of the methods that have such promise. He also notes that there is the issue of security, with some commentary focusing on the spectrum of terrorists acquiring biotechnologies and modifying wild types to make them even more ferocious, but notes that access to the technologies that would be required to do terrible things is at present somewhat limited and that it's not that garden variety hackers or terrorist groups are sitting around with the equipment and the access to be able to do these things now. He notes that we have time to be gathering information and devising more effective systems of control and regulation that can protect a legitimate public interest in security without necessarily stifling a technology that does have promising applications.

Sure, here are 10 consolidated grounded theories based on the transcript of the Starr Forum on Anti-Asian Violence: 1. The experience of being an Asian-American in the United States is shaped by a complex web of racism, xenophobia, and misogyny that leads to invisibility, marginalization, and violence. 2. The history of anti-Asian violence in the United States is characterized by a pattern of exclusion, discrimination, and scapegoating that has been reinforced by political rhetoric and media representation. 3. The concept of "The Talk" that Asian-Americans and African-Americans have to give to their families about how to protect themselves against violence is a response to the systemic nature of racism and the ways in which it manifests in everyday life. 4. The idea of "perpetual foreignness" that is often ascribed to Asian-Americans is a form of racialization that serves to discipline and exclude them from full participation in American society. 5. The combination of misogyny, racism, and xenophobia that is often present in acts of violence against Asian-Americans is a reflection of the intersecting systems of oppression that shape the experiences of marginalized communities. 6. The invisibility of Asian-Americans in American history and culture is a result of the erasure and marginalization of their experiences and contributions. 7. The lack of representation of Asian-Americans in positions of power and influence is a barrier to their full participation in American society and contributes to their invisibility and marginalization. 8. The experiences of Asian-American immigrants, refugees, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, youth, elders, adoptees, mixed-race individuals, Muslims, Pacific Islanders, artists, activists, and educators are shaped by the intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, culture, and power, and are often marked by invisibility, marginalization, discrimination, trauma, displacement, economic insecurity, identity formation, belonging, loss, and the struggle for recognition, representation, and resources. 9. The experiences of Asian-Americans are shaped by the intersection of race, power, and social justice, and are often marked by the struggle for visibility, voice, and change. 10. The experiences of Asian-Americans are shaped by the intersection of race, knowledge, and power, and are often marked by the struggle for inclusion, equity, and excellence in education.

The Starr Forum on Anti-Asian Violence was a panel discussion hosted by the MIT Center for International Studies. The panelists included Melissa Nobles, Dean of the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences at MIT; Paul Watanabe, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Institute for Asian-American Studies at UMass; Kathy Moon, Professor at Wellesley College; and Tram Nguyen, state legislator and lawyer who has worked for years in the community. The panelists discussed the history and causes of anti-Asian violence, as well as personal experiences and potential responses to the issue. The panel was introduced and moderated by Kenneth Oye, Director of the MIT Center for International Studies. During her opening remarks, Melissa Nobles reflected on the fact that she had been asked to introduce and participate in another Starr Forum just nine months earlier, on the killing of George Floyd, police violence, and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. She noted that Asian-American families are now beginning to have "The Talk" about how to protect themselves against violence, similar to the way African-American families prepare themselves to deal with encounters with the police. Nobles offered three points of advice from "The Talk" and highlighted the necessity and obscenity of having to give this advice. Paul Watanabe provided historical context and numbers related to anti-Asian violence, and discussed the themes of Asian-American invisibility, ignorance, and perpetual otherness. He noted that Asian-Americans have been in the United States for over 200 years, but have largely been invisible and subject to prejudice, discrimination, and exclusion. Watanabe also discussed the model minority myth and the impact of nativism and racism on Asian-Americans. Kathy Moon focused on the intersection of misogyny, racism, and xenophobia in the recent events in Atlanta, and discussed the ways in which Asian-American women are often hypersexualized and fetishized. She also highlighted the diversity within the Asian-American community and the need to address the specific needs and experiences of different groups. Tram Nguyen discussed her personal experiences with anti-Asian violence and her work to strengthen anti-hate crime legislation in Massachusetts. She also emphasized the importance of community engagement and coalition building in addressing this issue. During the Q&A session, panelists discussed the root causes of racism and xenophobia, the need for sustained efforts to address these issues, and the role of education and representation in creating lasting change. They also addressed questions about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on anti-Asian violence and the role of corporate America in addressing this issue.

Here are a few examples of AI policy frameworks that have been developed by governments, international organizations, and industry groups: * The European Union's "Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI" * The OECD's "Principles on Artificial Intelligence" * The US National Institute of Standards and Technology's "Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework" * The Partnership on AI's "Tenets for AI in Financial Services" * The World Economic Forum's "AI and Machine Learning Ethics and Governance Toolkit" * The Canadian government's "Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy" * The Japanese government's "Artificial Intelligence Technology Strategy" * The Australian government's "Artificial Intelligence Ethics Framework" This is not an exhaustive list, and many other governments, international organizations, and industry groups have developed or are in the process of developing AI policy frameworks. The specific focus and content of these frameworks can vary widely, depending on the context and goals of the organization or government that is developing them.

The Starr Forum event titled "From Principles to Implementation: The Challenge of AI Policy Around the World" featured Luis Videgaray, Director of the MIT AI Policy for the World Project and a senior lecturer at the Sloan School of Management, and was introduced by Kenneth Oye, a professor of political science and data systems and society, and Director of the program on emerging technologies at the Center for International Studies. During the event, Videgaray discussed the challenges of developing and implementing AI policy around the world. He highlighted the need for a comprehensive and coherent AI policy that addresses a range of themes, including the use of AI in the delivery of government services, investment in AI research and development, the impact of AI on the economy and job market, social responsibility issues such as privacy and fairness, the implications of AI for democracy, and the geopolitics of AI. Videgaray also emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between the world of policymakers and the world of computer scientists, and the need for translation and communication between these two groups. He noted that there is often an information lag and a lack of understanding between policymakers and computer scientists, and that this can lead to noise and confusion in the development of AI policy. Videgaray concluded by discussing the progress that has been made in developing AI policy around the world, and the challenges that still remain. He highlighted the need for a collective conversation and a long-term approach to developing effective AI policy, and emphasized the importance of considering the sustainability of AI, including its carbon footprint. Overall, the event provided a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities of AI policy around the world, and highlighted the need for a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to addressing these issues.

Dehumanizing lies and blood plots Half of your words are true and half are deep and black hate. 34:00 A disgusting lie. 40:00 Lie - the case in question happened on November 29, 1990 and not in 1987 and has nothing to do with the Intifada. Shimon Yafarah was sentenced to 3 years in prison. It's hard to decide which you hate more, Israel or the USA.

Poor Pollard. What about the MURDERED AMERICAN CITIZENS, murdered by ISRAEL? The USS Liberty, and the murder by bulldozer, of Rachel Corrie, or shooting Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh dead in the middle of broad daylight. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Does Palestine have a right to exist? Do Palestinians deserve equal rights and protection under the law? Yes!

Free Palestine 🇵🇸 please support equal rights and protection for every Palestinian, wherever they live!

prayers ,love and hugs

Lol, phukking klown!

More of the same delusional and wishful thinking - the coming decline of China. I think all these brilliant minds would be better utilized if they would focus on the decline of the US empire, which is well on its way, more so each passing day. The Chinese are entirely capable of figuring out what works for them and what doesn’t. The last thing they need is a bunch of “China” experts from the empire telling them where they are headed. The arrogance of the US academia complex stinks to high heaven.

I am not sure if this Huang is really speaking from scholar / researcher perspective or need to be political correct following current political narrative . if the first one is apply then no wonder america is in decline , if the second one is apply then he does not have freedom of speech .

Epoch Foundation any affiliation to The Epoch Times

🥸🥸🥸 FAKE expert ‼️ supported by NED.🤣🤣🤣

Its a cult 😂

What is disturbingly amazing about this lecture is that, except for a few minor details, it applies to today's situation in Gaza as much as it did in 2016. More evidence for the ICJ.

When your mind is fundamentally biased against China, no matter how smart you are, your arguments and conclusions are wrong and misleading. This is the critical problem facing the US government. All these China experts could not tell truth on China because of their bias or fear of being labelling as panda huggers under the current political atmosphere. As the result, information and advice provided to the US government are often incorrect and the consequence is predictable.

"The EPOCH Foundation is a private-sector consortium of 20 Taiwanese organizations"

I don 't really take this person seriously.

I love how much the hosts wanted to GTFO basically the whole time.

Starr Forum: USA: The Rise and Fall of the WEST

God bless this man.The Israeli state is truly wicked.

TOXIC FEMALES...... Vote TRUMP to stop this nonsense.

REFUGEE FROM SOMALIA IN DISNEYLAND

How can Israël carry on in their way like that?! And the U S support such of behavior from Israël ?.....

This man is a notorious liar. He would say anything to create discord in the name of create anarchy and establish his idiot socialism. The provocation was done by Lebanon by crossing border killing and kidnapping Israeli soldiers. I fist mark Chomsky as a liar when he said that Universities were occupied by mostly right wing academicians, I laughed my ass off that day. Even most of the left wing agrees, they have the power over education system in U.S. For 2006 even watch the below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ7UmWOOhr-jgdE

treachery in Egyptian ranks.

Thank you MIT…..

Miko Peled is a former Zionist, the son of a general, but he is one of the best people, a noble humanist and a fighter for justice! ❤️ Thank you for supporting the Palestinians and their right to freedom from Apartheid! ❤️🇵🇸🕊️

Only an idiot would listen to the noises expelled from her flapping lips. At least giving them a platform and letting them talk exposes them for who they are. Keep blowing smoke up there, and they'll keep showing how inflated they are.

So when do we hear from the speaker from the Israeli side? It seems that’s the only side that’s missing

No. Hamas is a terrorist organization

The fact that you’re giving a terrorist a voice and you believe them is crazy. Hamas has won the propaganda war and clearly you’re helping it. You’re giving them a voice

I don’t care how this looks from Hamas’s point of view. They are fundamentalists. Gee Timothy McVeigh said something similar. He claimed the world wouldn’t care about his cause if he bombed an empty building. He insisted on bombing a building filled with people and a nursery to call people’s attention to his cause. This strategy is called terrorism.

Aayan is going to succeed in her dreams

My password got changed ! Almost missed aayan!

Should I continue to look her in the eyes long term

Do I need to write? Here?

she contradicts herself. on one hand she claims that muslims love western countries, on the other hand she says that muslims refuse to integrate in to western society. but one thing i can tell you for sure. after arriving in the civilized countries muslims quickly forget why they are left their country and definitely not grateful and appreciative for the help they received. you can not expect from a caveman to behave like modern human.

😢

Islam is comparable with liberal progressives, because both are really nice and virtue signaling unless you disagree with them. Tolerance is definitely not their strong suit, the progressives are destroying everything with paint and the Moslem's with body strap on' that blow.

Ayann great speech as usual but then again, if a society is dis-allowing women to be educated and in turn those uneducated women are forcing their believe on children then you get what we have today. A women society that operates on the basis of a "Forces Society". We all will be slaves when we let the WEF have its way. I prefer a men's philosophy that works on the basis that everyone can compete and the better one wins. You can take part on the race or not and nothing was ever forced onto anyone, it was all by consent. Now everything is forced on people by the liberal progressives that have no common sense or logic for their insane demands and always puss the victim card and are virtue signaling being the least tolerant group on the planet.

Stay away from quran and Islam ❤ Ex Muslim ❤

She wrote book 2... NYC socialite etc scenes hm... Missouri.... Hm... Book 1 is WAY too lyrical poetic stunning to be by this same person but seems ... More contracted out. BUT my grandfather is was a missionary the inaccuracy. His survival instinct is way above a corrupt Korean minister hello. He subsumes with many disguises during occupation and to come south past the communist block with Americans on dmz since 1945. TB?? Where was that in Korea? All our shots ... Measles, typhoid... TB???? Anyway. Part one just moved me so much in these characters like JUDE THE OBSCURE barely surviving that killed off in part 2 hmmm even Dickens didn't do that. As missionaries they were highly desired to teach them to read not one? Too weird. Obv. Just numbers. Too weird. Their disguises hiding teaching all the time just nonexistent and the corrupt other figures survive as the missionaries from Pyongyang... Ended there. Not true. See Korea only christian Asian nation. They were hungry to read just like America. Opportunities in Korea. And she made missed the significance of Korean war in Japan led to their industrial boom and out of dust. Too fixated on these characters in Korea the owners lost all saying some Japanese family hm... Watkins... As y'all returning from Korea and Russian prisons, all military. Somethings missing there... Like which JAPANESE girl eyed all that from a fat boarding house owner from Busan. A baby. Hm... They back then huge families. One. Two. Hm.... Grandma had 5 Grandpa had 8!! Farmers hm .. they ain't. Hm. Boarding house. All those sleeze bags lost all in war. How?? They're not conscripts?? Hm?? Jeez the inaccuracy and she killed the missionaries bunch of fatsos hmmm ... Nah.

The Israeli lobbying is a terrorist organisation who buys our foreign policy and silence anyone who criticises them #freepalestine
