Hosted by the AI Literacy Center at Oregon State University
Join us for the third presentation in a three-part summer speaker series, "Critical AI Literacy for Information Work: Agentic AI"
Date: August 12, 10 am Pacific Time
Registration is required.
Speaker: Katharine Jarmul is a data scientist who focuses her work and research on privacy and security in data science, deep learning, and AI. She is author of the well-received O'Reilly book, Practical Data Privacy, and has more than 10 years's experience in mahcine learning and AI, where he has helped build large-scale AI systems with privacy and security built in.
"In this talk, we'll look at how agentic systems are designed today and by whom. We'll explore Claude Code as our working example. We'll annotate together the main design choices and how they affect the privacy, security and user agency / sovereignty. Then we'll shift and ask, is this how these systems must work? We'll investigate participatory design and AI as counter examples to today's systems. What could agentic systems do if they were designed by us and for us? What would be different and what might we keep? I expect vivid discussion and imaginations, so bring wild ideas and questions."
