SUMMARY:Ethical Management of AI: A French-American Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:#FranceAtlanta2021 | Ethical Management of AI: A French-American Dialogue \nArtificial intelligence (AI) models are now capable of collecting and analyzing enormous datasets in ways that are challenging fundamental values embraced within Europe and the United States. Holding much promise in terms of increased productivity\, efficiency and quality time\, AI programs and algorithms could function as an assistant\, a peer\, a manager or even as a friend. Indeed\, they might be so revolutionary that no one\, regardless of whether they are consumers\, citizens\, patients\, operators or stakeholders\, will remain unaffected. \nThe power of AI is such that it may jeopardize what it means to be human and whether people retain freedom of choice. AI might reshape the relationship between humans and technology in society. The ethical issues emerging from AI are complex and quickly evolving. What follows is that identifying and implementing appropriate solutions can be difficult. \nThe approaches taken by France\, the European Union and the United States to address these ethical issues are currently being defined and the governments are\, in 2021\, still considering options to maximize the potential of AI and big data while mitigating potential ethical issues. \nThis event is organized by the Georgia Institute of Technology\, the Consulate General of France in Atlanta\, the Emory University Center for Ethics\, the University of Nantes “Droit et Changement Social” (Law and Social Change) Research Center and DataSanté Research Program\, with the support of the Atlanta Office of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States and the Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the United States.

SUMMARY:Diplomatic Dialogue: A Breakfast Meeting with Michel Gerebtzoff\, Consul General of Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Diplomatic Dialogue: A Breakfast Meeting with Michel Gerebtzoff\, Consul General of Belgium\n\nWhen: 11/09/2021 at 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM \nLocation: Offices of Arnall Golden Gregory LLP\, Atlanta \nThe United States established diplomatic relations with Belgium in 1832 following Belgium’s declaration of independence from the Netherlands. The United States and Belgium are good partners and NATO allies\, maintaining a cooperative relationship on a number of foreign policy issues. The Belgian public holds goodwill and affection for Americans as a result of the U.S. role during and after the two World Wars\, including Belgium’s liberation from Nazi Germany by British\, Canadian\, and U.S. forces in 1944. \nAs an outward-looking nation\, Belgium works closely with the United States bilaterally and in international and regional organizations to encourage economic and political cooperation and assistance to developing countries. The United States appreciates Belgian activism in international security operations\, including its participation in the NATO Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan\, the EU Training Mission in Mali\, and the Defeat-ISIS Coalition\, in addition to its contributions to various other NATO missions. Belgium is also a key provider of humanitarian\, reconstruction\, and development assistance to Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria\, as well as many countries in Africa. As the host country of the EU and NATO headquarters\, Belgium plays an important role in European and Transatlantic diplomacy. \nMichel Gerebtzoff was born in Geneva on March 3\, 1972\, into a family with Russian and French roots. He graduated as a Water and Forestry Engineer from the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences in Gembloux\, Belgium. He first started a career in the private sector\, as a specialist in geographic databases and earth observation systems. \nAt the age of 30\, he passed the diplomatic competition and joined Foreign Affairs\, becoming Embassy Secretary in Geneva (WTO and WIPO\, from 2005 to 2008) and then in Beijing (2008-2012). After a year at the Directorate General of European Affairs (trade policy department)\, he returned to China\, to Guangzhou \, to head the office for the promotion of exports and investments of the Walloon Region (2013-2016).

SUMMARY:Authors Amplified: Dorian Brown Crosby's Somalis in the Neo-South: African Immigration\, Politics and Race
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with an in-person interview with Dr. Dorian Brown Crosby\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Spelman College\, on her recently released book\, Somalis in the Neo-South: African Immigration\, Politics and Race. \nWe are excited to announce that this event has provided us with the unique opportunity to partner with Refuge Coffee Co.\, at their first physical location\, in Sweet Auburn for an evening event that celebrates refugee communities in Atlanta. As a non-profit organization\, their objective is to provide job creation and job training for resettled refugees. \nRefuge Coffee Co. began as a coffee truck that was founded and opened in Clarkston\, a city where Dr. Crosby has dedicated much of her time working with\, and a community that is a central focus in her book. \nTickets for in-person attendance are $15 each and include a free beverage of your choice\, so please feel free to order upon arrival and put it on the Global Atlanta tab. \nThere will be a meet and greet at 5:00 p.m. in advance of the interview at 5:30 p.m. that will be broadcast live to Zoom\, just in case you can’t join us in person. \nFor public health and safety reasons\, everyone attending in person must wear masks during the event when not eating.  \nCan’t make it? The interview portion of this event will also be broadcast and viewable free of charge via Zoom at 5:30 pm. Please select your preferred option when registering. \n \nHosted and Sponsored by Refuge Coffee Co. – Sweet Auburn location:  \n \nAbout the Book\n \nAs demographics change and the southern American region grows more multicultural\, clashes between mentalities and contemporary population realities increase. Somalis in the Neo-South: African Immigration\, Politics and Race offers a balanced and insightful look at Somalis in the southern United States. Politically centered\, it is a thought-provoking book that presents an essential and positive alternative to the familiar portrayal of Somalis in the United States as terrorists. It explains the U.S. resettlement process and illuminates the civic engagement and entrepreneurship of Somalis in Clarkston\, Georgia\, and Nashville\, Tennessee. \n  \nAbout the Author\nDr. Dorian Brown Crosby is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Spelman College in Atlanta\, Georgia. She is a faculty-mentor and Board Member of the Social Justice Program and the inaugural and former Director of Cultural Orientation in the Gordon-Zeto Center for Global Education at Spelman College. Dr. Brown Crosby graduated Cum Laude from Spelman with a B.A. in Political Science and earned her M.A. in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Delaware in Newark\, Delaware. \nShe earned her Ph.D. in Political Science from Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta\, Georgia. Her research focuses on resettled African refugees in the United States’ southeastern region\, placing her work in multiple contexts such as Forced Migration Studies\, American Government\, Women’s Studies\, Ethnic and Racial Politics\, and International Relations. \nHer first book\, Somalis in the Neo-South: African Immigration\, Politics and Race (2020\, Peter Lang)\, draws upon her research with resettled Somali communities in Clarkston\, Georgia\, and Nashville\, Tennessee. Her current research focuses on the voting patterns and motivations of former African refugees in the Southeastern region of the United States. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.
