Navigating the (Mis)Perceptions of Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles are the future. Or are they? As with any potentially transformative technology, there is much to look forward to. But there is also plenty of hype. Join us at The Cooper Union in NYC on Thursday, 14 November as IEEE TechEthics hosts a public panel session addressing the facts and misperceptions of autonomous vehicles, particularly in the context of their impact on society. (Registration is required. Livestream will also be available.)

Livestream: Brave New Brain-Tech
Current and emerging neurotechnologies are being considered and used for a range of applications in medicine, public life, and national security operations. Broad international efforts in neurotechnology create new opportunities, issues, and challenges to establishing precepts and guidelines to assure sound research and use-in-practice. Sponsored by IEEE TechEthics in partnership with the IEEE Brain Initiative, this session at ISTAS 2019 will focus attention upon the need for neuroethico-legal guidelines/best practices and will emphasize IEEE's leadership in this space.
