SUMMARY:Jaron Lanier: How the Internet Failed and How to Recreate It
DESCRIPTION:The Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture\, Presented by the Humanities Institute\nThe internet as it exists might destroy our world. In the developed countries\, its arrival has corresponded to bizarre political dysfunction\, while in the developing world\, ethnic rivalries that had been waning have been re-ignited in the most grotesque fashion. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. The internet was supposed to empower people and enrich culture and democracy. What went wrong was based on a simplistic\, nerdy philosophy. The solution can be discerned\, and it involves creating and strengthening societal structures that are in between giant tech platforms and individuals. \nEvent Photos by Crystal Birns: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nUnable to join us for the event? View the recording here: \n \nJaron Lanier: How the Internet Failed and How to Recreate It” from IHR on Vimeo. \nThe Peggy Downes Baskin Ethics Lecture Series is a lively forum for the discussion and exploration of ethics-related challenges in human endeavors. The Ethics Lecture is made possible by the Peggy Downes Baskin Humanities Endowment for Interdisciplinary Ethics which enables the Humanities Division to promote a dialogue about ethics and ethics related challenges in an interdisciplinary setting. The endowment was established in honor of Peggy Downes Baskin’s longtime interest in ethical issues across the academic spectrum. \nData and Democracy: This event kicks off a year of programming on “Data and Democracy.” The Humanities Institute will be hosting numerous events and other activities around this theme. As our society navigates shifting definitions of fake news\, targeted ad programs\, and compromised voting systems\, it is essential that we work to understand the complex and often obscured relationship between data and democracy. During the 2018-2019 Academic Year\, The Humanities Institute will lead a community-wide conversation about this topic through a range of events focused on the ethics of social media\, online privacy\, big data\, and algorithmic bias. \nDirections and Parking\nThe UCSC Music Recital Hall is located at 402 McHenry Rd\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95064\nParking lot attendants will be on site to sell permits and direct guests to available parking in the Performing Arts parking lot #126. Click here for directions.\nIf you have disability-related needs\, please contact us at thi@ucsc.edu or call 831-459-3527.
