#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/15/24

I was running around a bunch today, but I still fit in some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a great talk by Anne Beatty-Martínez on understanding bilingualism in context at the Cognitive Science Students Association (CSSA) at UC Berkeley. Beatty-Martínez examines codeswitching, and how experience with codeswitching influences task performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dxUtZjsh_o

Next was an excellent panel on the implications of brain/computer interfaces at ACM CHI Conference #CHI2024 with Yudai Tanaka, Angela Vujic, Pattie Maes, Rob Jacob, Olaf Blanke, Sho Nakagome, and Pedro Lopes. This is a blazing fast overview of the space, and while I would've liked more discussion of the ethical concerns here it remains extremely compelling. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDGRn0PHEgo

Next was an interesting talk by Mahesh Srinivasan on the context dependency perceptions of religious and moral norms in Hindu and Muslim populations in Gujarat at UC Berkeley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC_Eb2MtHuU

Next was a fascinating talk by Charalambos Kyriacou on the genetics of biological rhythms at the Oxford Martin School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf994HDsylU

Last was a fantastic symposium on AI policy research at CITRIS and the Banatao Institute with talks from Nilou Salehi (HCI and AI), Guru Vamsi Policharla (Enforcing AI Regulation Compliance), Christian Ikeokwu (LLM robustness to adversarial prompts without labor exploitation), Marwa Abdulhai (AI deception), Janiya R. Peters (Resistance to Text-to-Image Generators in Creator Communities), and Jessica Dai (Individual Experiences to Collective Harms). Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSJNbXYW0Wo
