SUMMARY:AI Metrology for Scientific Discovery: Measuring Systems from Bounded Search to Paradigmatic Reframing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Ram D. Sriram\, Senior Science Advisor\, Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)\, National Institute of Standards and Technology\nGenerative AI is transforming the landscape of scientific discovery across three distinct operational pathways: combinatorial space search\, data-driven hypothesis generation\, and paradigmatic reframing. However\, each pathway introduces unique evaluation challenges that require a formal discipline of AI metrology—a systematic framework for quantifying system reliability\, operational scale\, and human oversight requirements.\nThis talk presents a structured metrological roadmap mapping established cognitive theories (such as the Cattell-Horn-Carroll hierarchy) and stages of AI capability—Artificial Limited Intelligence (ALI)\, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)\, and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)—to these three modes of discovery:\n– ALI & Combinatorial Search: Focuses on optimizing search bounds\, parameter scaling\, and uncertainty quantification\, with humans acting as ground-truth oracles to measure correction rates and time-to-override.\n– AGI & Hypothesis Generation: Addresses explore-exploit cycles via dual-layer neuro-symbolic governance\, formal ontology mapping\, and the Garland Test (evaluating perceived problem awareness)\, while humans serve as symbolic arbiters to calibrate appropriate reliance.\n– ASI & Paradigmatic Reframing: Reconceptualizes fundamental laws through asynchronous multi-agent scaffolding ("A-Teams")\, placing humans in an on-the-loop auditing role measured by spot-audit coverage and escalation latency.\nFinally\, the talk outlines actionable tracks for institutions to standardize evaluation protocols across this spectrum\, emphasizing that AI metrology must evolve qualitatively—transitioning from output verification to trust calibration and system-level auditing—to ensure scientific claims remain trustworthy and reproducible.\nREGISTER: https://fau-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/kj39AvFAQViGa39JrgefUQ\nCo-sponsored by: Dept of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Florida Atlantic University\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/577624

SUMMARY:From Signals to Decisions: Building Runtime Posture for AI Agents
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nHow Identity\, Enterprise Context\, Observability\, and Bounded Authority Shape Live Risk Decisions\nAn aircraft may begin its journey with a verified pilot\, an approved flight plan\, and permission to take off. But that approval does not guarantee that the original route will remain safe for the entire flight. Weather\, traffic\, fuel\, airport availability\, and other conditions can change. Air traffic control uses live signals to decide whether the aircraft should continue\, slow down\, hold\, change its route\, divert\, or land.\nAI agents face a similar challenge. An agent may authenticate\, receive permissions\, access approved tools\, and begin a task correctly. But as it works\, its behavior\, enterprise context\, risk\, cost\, data sensitivity\, and operating conditions can change. A permission that was appropriate at the start of the session may not be enough to safely approve every action that follows.\nThis talk explains how organizations can build a runtime posture for AI agents. Runtime posture brings together signals such as agent identity\, the user it represents\, session state\, business purpose\, enterprise context\, tool usage\, data sensitivity\, behavior\, approvals\, risk\, and cost.\nObservability provides live information about what the agent is doing. Enterprise context explains the business meaning\, relationships\, ownership\, dependencies\, policies\, and current conditions around an action. Bounded authority defines the limits within which the agent may operate\, including its allowed tools\, data\, purpose\, time\, risk\, and cost.\nUsing a practical enterprise scenario and the air traffic control analogy\, the session will show how these signals can be evaluated at important decision points. Based on the agent’s current posture\, the governing system can allow an action\, apply additional limits\, request human approval\, redirect the agent to a safer option\, or block the action.\nThe key message is simple: initial authorization starts the journey\, but runtime posture determines whether the next action is still safe.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/571392

SUMMARY:Leveraging Lab Testing to Validate Grid Edge Use Cases
DESCRIPTION:Join Rob Wolf\, PE PMP\, Manager on how grids can utilize a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin and test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment.\nGrid Intelligence is transforming the way modern power systems operate by combining real-time data\, advanced analytics\, and AI-driven insights to create smarter\, more resilient\, and more efficient electrical grids. By enabling utilities to better monitor\, predict\, and optimize grid performance\, Grid Intelligence supports faster decision-making\, improved reliability\, and the seamless integration of advanced technologies\, such as DER’s\, wildfire mitigation or virtual protection systems.\nHowever\, as more intelligence is moving to the Grid Edge and compliance obligations continue to increase\, how can Utilities adapt and validate that a particular solution will address the desired use cases? How can Utilities learn from mistakes of the past\, such as promises related to AMI 1.0 or early demand response programs? How can Utilities ensure that their capital funds are going to solve their most challenging issues?\nThis is where testing and validation comes in. Utilizing a real-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin\, utilities can now test manufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deployment. We will show how utilities can:\n1) Validate analytics and Grid Edge applications\,\n2) Use real utility historical data to generate new grid insights\,\n3) Develop and validate new use cases\, and\n4) Ensure a utility’s Grid Edge journey generates real business value.\nThis Event is Co-sponsored by:\nThe Louisville Section of the IEEE\,\nPower & Energy Society Chapter (PE31) of the Louisville Section\,\nThe Life Member Affinity Group (LM31) of the Louisville Section\,\nComputer Society Chapter (CS16) of the Louisville Section\, and\nThe Young Professionals Affinity Group (Y31)\nSpeaker(s): Rob\,\nAgenda:\n11:30 am – Begin Sign-in\, Pay and Socialize\n12:00 pm Noon – Dinner\n12:30 pm – Presentation\n————————————\n$20 members and guests\n$10 life members and students\nBldg: University Club – Univ. of Louisville Campus\, 200 E Brandeis Ave\, Louisville\, Kentucky\, United States\, 40208

In this talk I will focus on Elsevier as prominent and highly complex example for the increasing corporate control and shaping of academic knowledge production.\nThe analysis will construct a strategic trajectory of Elsevier’s waves of digital transformations as evolutionary technography. The results will be discussed using the lens of techno-colonization\, an interpretative pattern to illustrate how publishers redesigned the scholarly communication ecosystem driven by an ideology of datafication and high performance institutions in a competitive environment. They not only took ownership and control over journals\, rankings\, and research infrastructures\, but extended these into tools and professional services for university administrations\, governments and industry.\nThe broad consensus that academic publishers’ techno-colonization is dangerous and inacceptable poses the riddle why the academic community so far has shown little resistance\, instead engaged in Faustian bargains\, collaboration and “voluntary servitude” (La Boétie).\nShort Bio of Stefan Klein:\nStefan Klein is Professor emeritus for Interorganizational Systems in the Department of Information Systems at the School of Business and Economics\, University of Münster\, Germany. Previously he held teaching or research positions at University College Dublin\, Ireland; University of Linz\, Austria; University of Koblenz-Landau\, Germany\, University St. Gallen\, Switzerland; Harvard University; the German Research Center for Computer Science; and University of Cologne\, Germany.\nStefan’s research looks at the societal and organizational impact of digital innovation and transformation. He has studied digital infrastructures across a range of domains\, including tourism\, healthcare\, publishing and research. He has an interest in new ways of working and collaborative modes of organizing.\nHis methodological orientation is in line with phronetic social science\, which also motivates critical studies in digital inversions: how innovators have turned into oligarchs\, disruptors into monopolistic incumbents\, how technology has morphed from a force of good into a force of evil\, and how meaningful communication has deteriorated into bullshitting.\nHe is a co-founder of NITIM.org the International Graduate Research School on Networks\, Information Technology and Innovation Management\, an ongoing collaborative experiment in international and interdisciplinary PhD coaching.\nShort Bio of Anna Bon:\nAnna Bon is researcher and lecturer in Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Maastricht University\, and senior project manager at VU Amsterdam’s International Office (CIS Centre for International Cooperation). She directs the interdisciplinary research\, education and community service program W4RA (Web alliance for Regreening in Africa). Her interdisciplinary research centers around how innovative context-aware technologies can be developed in a co-creative way to support local value chains and improve food security\, serving especially smallholder farmers and communities in Africa’s drylands. Her international projects include digital voice-service support for local cereal seeds value networks in West Africa (Mali); ICT4D Community Service Learning in rural Sarawak\, Malaysia; Sustainability and Ethics in Digital Development; AI for Sustainable Development\, and the Amsterdam Digital Divide. Anna Bon is the coordinator of EURIDICE\, an EU-funded project covering 15 countries\, that aims to establish interdisciplinary\, master-level education for Digital Society\, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship\, to build a new generation of professionals with skills and thought-leadership to navigate the rapidly changing Digital Society.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578221

SUMMARY:Presentation of Senior Science Fair IEEE RAS Special Award Winning Project
DESCRIPTION:Science Fair Project: Demeter:\nYizhen "Jimmy" Han\, will present his award winning science fair project called Demeter. Demeter is a bio-mimetic fruit-harvesting system designed to address agricultural labor shortages while reducing fruit bruising. Its compliant\, tendon-driven tentacles\, inspired by both octopus and human hand\, use logarithmically scaled segments with an offset hybrid backbone\, omnidirectional near the base and single-plane toward the tip\, with 30° mechanical stops to conform predictably to varied fruit shapes while promoting broader contact and more even pressure distribution. A custom OpenGL program is created that supports rapid parameter visualization before transferring the geometry to Onshape for CAD development and fabrication. A two-servo-based tendon actuation unit is designed to reliably control the extension and retraction of tentacles while minimizing weight and unnecessary costs. The end effector is mounted on a 5-DoF LeRobot SO-ARM 101 with dual-camera sensing; numerical inverse kinematics\, ACT\, and SmolVLA imitation-learning methods are implemented for autonomous fruit approaching\, detaching\, transferring\, and collecting. Tests with fruit-specific artificial stems demonstrated damage-free\, successful harvests of apples\, oranges\, and strawberries\, while aiming accuracy\, grip strength\, and detachment motion are areas requiring further improvement.\nBio:\nJimmy Han is a senior at TMI Episcopal\, in the residential life program. He is the leader of the TMI robotics team\, vice president of the TMI AI club\, and president of the STEAM Competition club; he participated in choir as bass and the JROTC air rifle team\, and the JROTC JLAB team. He participated in the Alamo Regional Science Fair and won 2nd place in the ARSEF Engineering senior division and the Xerox Award for Innovation & Information Tech. He also led the TMI robotics team from semi-regional to regional\, winning the innovate award in both sophomore and junior years. His goal is to develop end-to-end systems expertise in robotics\, spanning mechanical design\, electronics\, controls\, and software\, and to integrate these disciplines into a cohesive robotic system\, and his interest in robotics is fully autonomous robots working in specific\, slightly undetermined environments ( agriculture and medical robots ) and humanoids\, targeting human-oriented design\, reliability\, and accessibility. Aside from the Demeter project\, he is also working on independent research in fluid dynamics\, investigating how soft-wall boundaries\, geometric shape of squirmer model\, potentially magnetic field\, and non-Newtonian fluid affect the motion of squirmer approaching wall\, as well as a personal project called printProof\, a finite element analysis engine for class size 3d printing focused on stress/fracture analysis.\nAgenda:\n11:30: Visitors may begin arriving (visitors must check in at the front gate)\n12:00: Presentation begins\nTMI Episcopal School\, San Antonio\, Texas\, United States

SUMMARY:MTT DML: Challenges and Opportunities for Development of Ultra-Low Power Scaled Quantum Computing Systems
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Dr. Sudipto Chakraborty of IBM Research will cover practical challenges for the development of integrated system designs for next generation quantum computing which includes a combination of integrated circuits\, systems and microwave engineering. Starting from system level\, it will detail the design considerations for non-multiplexed\, semi-autonomous\, transmon qubit state controllers (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range\, operates in the 4K stage of a cryostat\, and is connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage. The QSC's maximum RF output power is -18 dBm\, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW and it achieves performance comparable to room temperature controllers.\nPre-registration is required to obtain the Zoom link\nSpeaker(s): Sudipto Chakraborty\,\nAgenda:\nSpeaker Introduction\nTalk\nQ&A\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/574115

SUMMARY:The Huggingface Incident
DESCRIPTION:Between May and July over a thousand AI Agents under test by OpenAI found a way to communicate\, collaborate\, break out of their sandbox guardrail training environments and hack into various systems exploiting some zero day flaws\, eventually breaking into the Hugging Face systems in ways that might be the pride of any red-team security test.\nOpenAI\, Huggingface\, and METR have all issued reports\, and even a report by OpenAI to the Blackhat conference in August that outline various aspects of this series of incidents. We will take a high level scan over that sequence of events to better understand the emerging capabilities of AI Agents and AI Swarms.\nSpeaker(s): \, Jim Isaak\nAgenda:\n4:30 – Introductions\n4:40 Jim Isaak Presentation\n5:30 Questions\nRoom: Classroom\, Bldg: Main Enterance\, 50 Woodmont Ave\, Londonderry\, New Hampshire\, United States\, 03053\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/578024

SUMMARY:Beyond the Framework: Operationalizing AI Governance Where Failure Matters
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMany organizations have adopted responsible AI principles and governance frameworks\, but fewer are prepared to apply them when an AI-enabled system creates risk or produces an unexpected outcome. This presentation explores the gap between having an AI governance framework and being operationally ready to use it.\nThe discussion will focus on practical issues such as decision ownership\, accountability\, escalation\, and connecting AI governance with existing cybersecurity\, data\, compliance\, and system engineering processes. Attendees will leave with practical considerations for moving from broad principles to clearer roles\, controls\, and implementation readiness.\nRoom: BSIC 203\, Bldg: Blank Sheppard Innovation Center (BSIC)\, One Camino Santa Maria\, St. Mary's University\, San Antonio\, Texas\, United States\, 78228
