Auditorium

Our society is struggling to engineer heterogeneous systems of people and technologies. For instance, our systems for dealing with pandemics, climate change, inequality, and financial stress have fallen short, in significant part because of unanticipated human behaviors. Perhaps as a consequence, Congress’s new infrastructure bill expands the definition of “infrastructure” to include human or social infrastructure. Drawing on examples from several countries and various domains, this lecture will illuminate new approaches to engineering ecosystems that better integrate human behavior and discuss how new technologies like large language models (LLMs) and privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) are being applied to these problems.
