    <h4><span>Evelyn Barker Memorial Lecture</span></h4>
    <br><em>The Proper Dignity of Human Being: Later Heidegger and the Philosophical Tradition<br></em><br>Sean D. Kelly<span>, Harvard University</span><br><br><div>In
     1947, Martin Heidegger wrote what is now known as his “Letter on 
    Humanism,” which is rich and revealing. <strong>At the center of the Letter 
    stands a singular, pointed claim: that all previous “humanisms,” have 
    failed to recognize the “proper dignity of human being.” Drawn from a 
    book in progress, this talk will explore questions of our proper 
    dignity, and the threat to it posed by the technological age.</strong><br>

    <span>Biography</span>:
     Sean Kelly earned an Sc.B. in Mathematics and Computer Science and an 
    M.S. in Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences from Brown University in 1989.
     After several years as a graduate student in Logic and Methodology of 
    Science, he finally received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University
     of California at Berkeley in 1998. He taught in Philosophy and the 
    Humanities at Stanford and in Philosophy and Neuroscience at Princeton 
    before joining the Harvard Faculty in 2006. His work focuses on various 
    aspects of the philosophical, phenomenological, and cognitive 
    neuroscientific nature of human experience. Kelly is the co-author, with
     Hubert Dreyfus, of <em>The</em> <em>New York Times</em> bestselling book <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/All-Things-Shining/Hubert-Dreyfus/9781416596165" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">All Things Shining: Reading the Western Classics to Find Meaning in a Secular Age</a> (2011), and he is currently working on a book for Harvard University Press entitled, “The Proper Dignity of Human Being.”</div>

<Title>Sponsor Spotlights: Astek Diagnostics</Title>
<Tagline>AIChE Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference Sponsors</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><span><p><span>A young and rising star in the field, Astek Diagnostics is a medical device company founded in 2021 by Dr. Mustafa Al Adhami, and currently stationed in Research &amp; Technology Park. The Astek team comprises several UMBC alumni, physicians and scientists who bring with them diverse skill sets to advance the science and mission of the company. Astek works on developing a fast, accurate, and precise UTI diagnostic technology to reduce patient complications and lower the cost of healthcare. Currently, the system, called JIDDU, is under development to become a multipurpose platform that can confirm bacterial infections and assess antibiotic sensitivity across different samples, including urine, CSF, effluent, and blood.  Astek’s goal is to join the market with a urine-based test, with the clinical trials expected to be completed by January 2025. Through a recent partnership with MedStar Health for pilot study, the company has achieved remarkable R&amp;D milestones. </span></p>
    <br><p><span>For the 2024 AIChE Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference at UMBC, Astek Diagnostics had very graciously agreed to be a Silver Partner and be at the Career Fair to showcase the vibrant startup scene in Maryland to our conference attendees. We would like to thank Astek for their participation in the conference and their financial support that helps bring our conference to fruition!</span></p>

<Title>AI, Privacy, &amp; Ethics Symposium: Tim Finin 12-1pm 4/1 WebEx</Title>
<Tagline>After 75 Years of AI, Can Machines Think?</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Mathematician Alan Turing proposed a simple test to answer the question 'Can machines think?' nearly 75 years ago. Today, the surprising abilities of generative AI systems like ChatGPT make many wonder if we can finally respond positively. Professor Finin will briefly cover AI's history leading up to the recent development of systems using neural networks and large language models like ChatGPT and what to expect in the next few years. He'll touch on what current systems can and cannot do, the ways they can fail (e.g., hallucinations), the larger risks they may enable (e.g., spreading disinformation), and the societal changes they might induce (e.g., changing copyright and education practices). Dr. Finin will finish by outlining the prospects for the good things they will enable and how AI researchers hope to achieve them.</span><div><br></div>
