IEEE-USA Alaska Cruise
Sail to Alaska with IEEE-USA! IEEE-USA's cruising saga continues in 2024 to the magnificent, wild Alaskan frontier. Building off of the success of IEEE-USA’s 50th Anniversary Cruise, IEEE-USA will be hosting a 7-night Alaska Cruise 9-16 September 2024. We’ll be cruising in style aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas from Seattle to stops in Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria, BC, before concluding our cruise back in Seattle. Please remember that to participate in the IEEE-USA Alaska Cruise activities, you must book through the (https://cruise.ieeeusa.org).

Integrated Sensing and Communications: A Communication Theory Perspective
In-band full-duplex Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems provide an opportunity for Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) systems to realize spectrum-efficient simultaneous information transmission and environmental awareness. This line of research is typically referred to as FD-ISAC. This talk will review the unique characteristics and challenges of mono-static FD-ISAC, show simulation results (considering 6G Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms), and outline several directions of future research. Co-sponsored by: Ali Daneshmand Speaker(s): Besma, Agenda: Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428288

‘SOFTWARE DEFINED VEHICLES’ – CHANGING LANDSCAPE FOR VEHICLE CONTROLS?
Google search for the term ‘software defined vehicles’ returned about 646M results in 0.33 seconds. The automotive industry is awash with this new buzz phrase. In their report “Rewiring car electronics and software architecture for the Roaring 2020s,” futurists from McKinsey & Company are heralding sweeping industry transformation both technically and commercially. We, GM, are making a splash with our Ultifi Platform that reimagines what it means to own and experience a vehicle and to grow revenue beyond vehicle sales. But what does all this mean for our vehicles – where the rubber meets the road, literally?! This talk will explore the software defined future from a vehicle point of view. Using examples of core vehicle functions like motion control – embedded software that makes our vehicles stop, turn & go – we will dive into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and how we can all engage and shape this exciting future.

Registration IEEE and SSIT Members as well as non-IEEE Members are invited to (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415613) and participate. IEEE Members should include their IEEE Membership Number when registering. Access to online Meeting (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415613) will be provided with the link prior to the event. Guest Lecture Focus This lecture considers General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) products marketed as ‘empathic partners’, ‘personal AI’, ‘co-pilots’, ‘assistants’, and related phrasing for ‘human-AI partnering’. Open AI, Inflection, Google, Microsoft, and others, all promise empathic capacities. Current and nascent domains of use include work, therapy, education, life coaching, legal problems, fitness, and entertainment. The lecture focuses on the risks and opportunities of empathic human-AI partnering, what new governance (if any) is required, and the role that soft law standards may play in leading in supporting hard law. To explore empathic human-AI partnering, the lecture will initially provide historical context to these technologies, case examples, and a sense of current governance for technologies used to empathise. With this understanding in place, the lecture will progress to consider need to contrast upstream and downstream understandings of GPAI, complexities of this separation for governance, balancing of short and long-term risks, social and ethical questions unique to empathic human-AI partnering, issues of global cultural variation regarding empathic human-AI partnering, balancing of interests of ethical diversity and unity in creation of soft law and standards, and lessons that can be learned from existing and nascent P7000 standards.
