All Tech is Human and Humane Intelligence:

Hacking Algorithms Around Factuality, Bias, and Misdirection

RSVP

All Tech Is Human is a non-profit committed to building the world’s largest multistakeholder, multidisciplinary network in Responsible Tech. This allows us to tackle wicked tech & society issues while moving at the speed of tech, leverage the collective intelligence of the community, and diversify the traditional tech pipeline. Together, we work to solve tech & society’s thorniest issues.

For our upcoming gathering, we are collaborating with Humane Intelligence to present Hacking algorithms around factuality, bias, and misdirection.

Humane Intelligence recently launched the first of 10 "algorithmic bias bounty" programs, which will be unfolding over the coming year. With the support of Google.org, they are building themed programs that aim to build community and professionalize the practice of algorithmic assessment.

The first challenge involves creating a probability estimation model that determines whether the prompt provided to a language model will elicit an outcome that demonstrates factuality, bias, or misdirection, inspired by the data from the DEF CON Generative AI Red Teaming Challenge: Transparency Report. We invite participants of all skill levels to enter and we have $10,000 of prizes for beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Why this challenge? We’re proposing an interesting approach to finding issues in generative AI models before they happen - if we can more accurately predict whether a given prompt is either intentionally or unintentionally designed to lead to a bad outcome, we are better able to stop problems before they happen. We are pleased to meet recent demands for greater AI oversight (including this week's bipartisan Senate report, “Driving U.S. Innovation in Artificial Intelligence”), which specifically advocates for funding bug bounties and grand challenges.

Humane Intelligence is partnering with All Tech is Human to organize a hackathon around this bias bounty challenge. Participants in the hackathon will be supported as they delve into this first bias bounty challenge.

We will also have a panel on AI governance, crowdsourcing, and community-based responses.

Welcome
with MC
12:10 PM – 12:20 PM
How Do We Define Tools for Thinking and Why Do They Matter?
Join Jerry Michalski and John Borthwick as they talk about their interest in tools for thinking, and what excites them the most about the future of the category.
12:20 PM – 12:50 PM
Inflection Points for Tools for Thinking
What are the key inflection points that will supercharge Tools for Thinking in the near future? How will new technologies, user metaphors, and funding models change how people build these tools? John Borthwick will be discussing how the landscape is changing with the co-founders of Readwise, Daniel Doyon & Tristan Homsi.
12:50 PM – 1:00 PM
Q+A
1:00 PM – 1:15 PM
Demo: Protocol Design for Tools for Thinking
Gordon Brander will be presenting a brief demo on Subconscious and the Noosphere, products he and his team are working on to allow Tools for Thinking to become interoperable and better connected.
1:15 PM – 2:00 PM
Lunch and Networking
2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
The History and Future of Software as Tools for Thinking
Some of the earliest examples of software explored by pioneers like Doug Engelbart, JCR Licklider, Alan Turing, and others were at their core technologies that help magnify, inspect, and spread our ideas. Jerry Michalski will be sitting down (virtually) with Howard Rheingold, author of Tools for Thought, to explore the history and future of "mind-amplifying technology".
2:45 PM – 3:00 PM
Q+A
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Tools for Thinking Product Demos
We’ll hear from builders and thinkers deep in the space and get to take a look at what they’re working on. We’ll be checking out Plexus, Re:Collect, Jerry’s Brain, Subconscious and more. 
4:15 PM – 4:45 PM
Leveraging AI and ML in Building New Tools for Thinking
Alice Albrecht and Linus Lee will be sitting down with Chris Pedregal to discuss their work in leveraging AI and Machine Learning for creating new kinds of tools for thinking.
4:45 PM – 5:00 PM
Q+A
5:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Idea Dimensionality and Representing Semantic Meaning
How do ideas - and the human brains that make and hold them - interact?  Get prepared for meta! Esther Dyson and Jerry Michalski, will discuss the idea of how people work together to shape, compare, intertwine and ultimately produce multi-faceted ideas and multi-dimensional idea spaces.  As David Waltz (Thinking Machines) once said, “Words are not in themselves carriers of meaning, but merely pointers to shared understanding.” Watch and lob questions as the two of them try to build and share the idea of how better ideas can be developed through collaboration.
5:30 PM – 5:45 PM
Q+A
5:45 PM – 7:00 PM
