Title slide of 2019 VIC Summit: Ethics in AI - Impacts of Social Robotics (Panel)

Ethics in AI: Impacts of (Anti?)Social Robotics

In this session, a panel of experts at the IEEE Vision, Innovation and Challenges Summit considers whether the sub-domain of service robotics will more likely be regarded as an element bringing people closer together or if it will have anti-social effects, separating us even further from each other and locking people into a dystopic bubble of digitalized content and automated living spaces.

Ethical Hacking: Scanning

Scanning is a technique that allows for a deep dive into a system to seek out valuable data and services in an IP address range. Scanning techniques locate potential entry points on a system to exploit. This type of scanning is key to ethical hackers who are responsible for preventing attacks on an organization

Machine Ethics

Machine ethics is the study of how autonomous systems can be imbued with ethical values. Ethical autonomous systems are needed because, inevitably, near future systems are moral agents; consider driverless cars, or medical diagnosis AIs, both of which will need to make choices with ethical consequences. Although machine ethics has been the subject of theoretical and philosophical study for about twenty years, it is only in the past five years that proof-of-concept ethical machines have been demonstrated in the laboratory. This webinar aims to open a discussion of the interesting and difficult technical challenges of engineering ethical machines, alongside wider societal and regulatory questions of how such machines should be governed, if and when they find real-world application.

Engineering Social Good: Technology and Moral Responsibility

Technology, in and of itself, is neither "good" nor "bad." This panel addresses the role engineers -- and others -- have in developing technology for the benefit of humanity.

Ethical Hacking: Session Hijacking

Session hijacking can be characterized as one of the most sophisticated forms of attack. Hackers can take over the true interactions of unsuspecting users in order to gain access to data and systems to perform an inside attack on an organization. In this course we will learn how to target and take over an existing communication or session between two systems. We will see how to use session hijacking to attack network communication as well as use it to shut down a target.

One Giant Leap: The Moon Landing’s Impact on Humanity

Fifty years ago, the first manned space mission landed on the Moon. This panel addresses how this historic event influenced the public's views on technology, while also inspiring action and debate on several societal issues.

Ethical Hacking: SQL Injections

SQL injections are a powerful, but complex attack that can be used to strike out at web applications and their databases. This course explores how an SQL attack could alter, steal, or remove data without necessarily "hacking" a target.

Ethical Hacking: System Hacking

System hacking is the method that hackers use to gain access to computers on a network. Ethical hackers can use these techniques to learn system hacking skills in order to counter, detect, and prevent these types of attacks. This course will cover the process of gaining access to a targeted system. Techniques covered include password cracking, privilege escalation and malware detection.

Shaping the Future Workforce: Transformative Impacts of Emerging Technologies

Reports indicate that autonomous technologies will increasingly replace functions currently filled by paid workers. This public forum addresses current and future impacts of these transformative technologies on the workforce.
