Event Details:
Date: 4th of November 2024
Time: 17.00 UK
Location: Committee Room 1, House of Lords, London, UK
This event will explore the enduring value of analog and physical arts in a society increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and digital technologies. We are thrilled to feature a dynamic lineup of speakers, including Mary Fisk-Taylor representing a business heavily engaged in analogue art creation, Lawrence Lek recent winner of the Frieze London artist award 2024 and a practitioner of AI-enabled art, and Joy Omoregie – GenAI innovative programs lead, within the GenAI Innovation Centre at Amazon Web Services – who will bring their expertise and perspectives to kick off the conversation.
The discussion will cover topics such as:
1. The Historical and Cultural Importance of Physical Arts: How physical arts have shaped our societies and what still persists today as we move into a new era of AI and digitally generated art.
2. The Disruptive Force of AI in the Art World: As AI can now mimic, replicate, and even generate styles, how do we understand the value of human-generated and physical art in a digital-first world?
3. The Role of Policy in Balancing Physical and Digital Art Forms: How policymakers can foster a healthy relationship between our historic physical-first culture and the emerging digital culture.

About the event
The OFA Symposium is the only academic conference covering questions relating to the social, political and economic impact of Open Source. The Symposium enables the linking of research agendas, growth of the research community, and the understanding of the societal value of Open Source.
The 2023 edition of the OFA Symposium at TU Berlin set the OFA’s agenda for Open Source research for the coming years. The 2024 edition is hosted by the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard to evolve the concept even further and raise the ambition level of the quality and impact of academic open source research.
The OFA Symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to Harvard Business School, Boston, in order to explore the transformative power of Open Source software and hardware.
Under the theme Open Source in the Global Digital Economy the OFA Symposium will focus on the social, political, and economic implications of open source. We will examine how open source is changing the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other, and how it is shaping the future of technology and society.

Abstracts:
Reusable Rancher: Deploying and Operating in Automation
In this talk we’ll show you how to get started automating Rancher, from server to multi-cluster apps. We’ll be using a cloud managed Kubernetes service and a CI/CD platform – plus tools like Helm and Terraform – to demo how you can deploy and operate Rancher in automation, developer playground to production.
Building a Secure Kubernetes Service for Private Telco Cloud
In the Telco industry, demand on private cloud is shifting from hosting VNFs (Virtualised Network Functions) increasingly to CNFs (Containerised Network Functions). This presentation puts forward an approach to building a substrate agnostic managed Kubernetes service, orchestrated with Rancher for use across existing on prem cloud environments and expanding to bare metal workload clusters. We explore the unique security challenges faced by telco operators and propose a robust architecture that integrates advanced security measures, including network segmentation, encryption, and access control. By leveraging open source virtualisation and Kubernetes components, a solution can be provided that is reliable but flexible to meet the complex network needs of telco CNF applications, or, for example, run a data platform monitoring and analysing network events. We aim to provide an overview of the approach to component choice, cluster builds with GitOps CI/CD and the supporting platforms required to drive adoption of a managed Kubernetes platform.

Amanda Brock: My Nephew’s Wisdom and Lessons from his Auntie
Friday 15 November 15:15-15:30
Session Overview
In this keynote, Amanda Brock shares how her path to becoming a Sustainability Advocate began with a conversation with her 8-year-old nephew, Ronan. Inspired by Sir David Attenborough, Ronan’s passion for the planet sparked Amanda’s awareness of the concerns of today’s youth. However, like many, Ronan was unaware of the envrionmental impact of his digital life. Through a mutual exchange of knowledge, Amanda educated him on the environmental effects of technology, while he deepened her understanding of sustainability. This intergenerational learning experience has accelerated Amanda’s work in driving sustainability through technology.

12.00-12.30 – Where next with AI?
The rise of ChatGPT as a mass consumption natural language model in 2023 marked the era of GenAI democratisation. While most financial services players remain bullish on the future of GenAI, the numerous use cases may change their mind. GenAI analyses customer behaviour, discovers preferences, and has the power to unlock important insights, leading to more personalised user experiences and improved customer service. We are already witnessing a shift from traditional chatbots to sophisticated ones that are highly trained in semantics and can provide knowledgeable responses. The technology is capable of not only generating immediate, precise, and natural-sounding answers, but it can also analyse a customer’s financial history and credit rating and help them source and choose the best loan option for their unique situation. AI assistants can also help staff to more quickly access key information for clients, and more intelligent robotic process automation (RPA) allows a level of usability with AI enhancements that will make it more valuable to enhance workflows and automate decisions. In addition to this, advances in natural language processing (NLP) combined with other traditional AI that can spot trends and anomalies unlocks a more complete picture.
