Dear colleagues, I have received an invitation to the NoC conference that will be held in November at the Museu do Amanhã in Rio de Janeiro. (see below) I applaud the initiative to revive the NoC with a conference and I would like to know how NoC members can participate to the definition of the programme of this NoC event. I have been travelling a lot over the past two months and I fear I have missed the emails regarding the organisation of this NoC conference. I would be very grateful if anyone could circulate a summary of the previous discussions held on this list. I would also like to offer the full availability of CTS to cooperate with the other NoC members in the organisation of this NoC event. Best regards Luca Artificial Intelligence and Inclusion Symposium <https://networkofcenters.net/content/artificial-intelligence-and-inclusion-s...> On 27 Jun, 2017 By Victor Vicente Five years after an inaugural Symposium<https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2012/12/network_of_centers> focused on structural changes and tipping points of Internet-driven developments, the Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers (NoC) is invited to reunite as a growing global community of almost 80 Centers <http://networkofcenters.net/centers> and meet from November 8-10, 2017 in Rio de Janeiro to identify, explore, and address the opportunities and challenges of Artificial Intelligence as we seek to build a better, more inclusive, and diverse world together. The event, co-hosted on behalf of the NoC by the Institute for Technology and Society of Rio de Janeiro (ITS Rio) and the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and part of the Ethics and Governance of AI initiative<https://www.knightfoundation.org/press/releases/knight-foundation-omidyar-ne...>, will bring together representatives from the NoC Centers from around the globe as well as invited guests and collaborators from advocacy, philanthropy, media, policy, and industry to address both the opportunities and challenges of AI-based technologies through the lens of inclusion, broadly conceived. If you are a Network of Centers member, or are interested in learning more about the symposium, please email inclusionsymposium@eon.law.harvard.edu<mailto:inclusionsymposium@eon.law.harvard.edu>.
