Book launch: ‘The Atomic Human - understanding ourselves in the age of AI’
2024-06-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Bush House, Strand Campus, London, Bush House, Strand Campus, London, United Kingdom
Book launch: ‘The Atomic Human – understanding ourselves in the age of AI’

The Centre for data Futures celebrates the publication of ‘The Atomic Human’ by Professor Neil Lawrence with a cross-disciplinary conversation.
Professor Sylvie Delacroix, Director of the Centre for Data Futures, will host a conversation with Neil about The Atomic Human, whose publication comes at a pivotal point in the so-called ‘AI revolution’. What does it take for us to not only choose but carve out a future where ‘AI is a tool for us’? Who does the ‘us’ stand for? Does the fact that this revolution is powered by a resource -data- that largely comes from us change anything?
Extract from The Atomic Human’s synopsis:
‘‘By contrasting our capabilities with machine intelligence, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded. Not just by the experts, but ordinary people. Understanding this will enable readers to choose the future we want – either one where AI is a tool for us, or where we become a tool of AI’

Schedule:
19:00: A conversation with Neil Lawrence including a Q&A
20:00: Drinks Reception

RISC-V, the open standard instruction set architecture (ISA), is enabling a range of new applications and research that will define the future of computing in Europe. The region has been central to RISC-V’s success, with one-third of RISC-V’s global community based in Europe.
RISC-V Summit Europe takes place from Monday 24th to Friday 28th June, 2024. The combination of strong industrial and academic communities is key to the success of RISC-V in Europe, and for this reason the conference is designed to help attendees to explore both commercial and research applications.

OSPOs for Good 2024
2024-07-09 08:00 - 2024-07-10 17:00 | United Nations Headquarters, New York, 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, United States
The second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium is set to be a multi-day conference held on 9th and 10th July 2024, with a richer global presence of diverse open source thinkers, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good.
By building on the success of last year’s event, the goal of the 2024 conference is to be ‘bigger and better’ in every way. This action symposium aims to serve as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy, as well as highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It will prominently highlight the theme of ‘open source networks as enablers of global cooperation’.
While the 2024 conference will of course focus on the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) like last year’s event, this conference will expand the scope to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs are enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries.

Abstracts:
Taking Kubernetes beyond the Availability Zone, while saving on storage and sleeping better:
* Deliver highly available stateful applications to your cluster and learn how to failover those applications, and their data, in the event of failure of a disk, node, or even an entire availability zone
* Learn how to provide globally accessible stateful applications by leveraging Portworx DR with Stork
* Stop over provisioning and overpaying for your storage and automatically manage and scale your capacity management in the cloud
These are just some of the challenges you may experience when running Kubernetes in production, and we can help you solve them.
Distributed Platforms. How platform engineering is at the core of the next evolution in the cloud native world

Distributed platforms. Run workloads where it makes most sense.
Platform engineering. Create a scaleable and sustainable platform.
Lifecycle. Security and compliance considerations through the whole lifecycle.
