This will help us determine whether the room is cl ose to reaching capacity.\n\nWe may make some auxiliary material such as s lides and access to the recording available after the seminar to people wh o have registered.\nAbstract:\n\nOur society is having difficulties engine ering heterogeneous systems of people and technology. For instance\, our s ystems for dealing with pandemics\, climate change\, and financial stress have been less than completely successful\, in significant part because of unanticipated human behaviors. This talk will cover new approaches to eng ineering ecosystems that better integrate human behavior and discuss how n ew technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) can help.\n\nBio:\n\nPro fessor Alex 'Sandy' Pentland directs MIT Connection Science\, an MIT-wide initiative\, and previously helped create and direct the MIT Media Lab and the Media Lab Asia in India. He is one of the most-cited computational sc ientists in the world. Forbes declared him one of the "7 most powerful dat a scientists in the world" along with Google founders and the Chief Techni cal Officer of the United States. He is on the Board of the UN Foundations ' Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data\, co-led the World E conomic Forum discussion in Davos that led to the EU privacy regulation GD PR\, and was one of the UN Secretary General's "Data Revolutionaries" help ing to forge the transparency and accountability mechanisms in the UN's Su stainable Development Goals. He has received numerous awards and prizes su ch as the McKinsey Award from Harvard Business Review\, the 40th Anniversa ry of the Internet from DARPA\, and the Brandeis Award for work in privacy . Recent invited keynotes include annual meetings of OECD\, G20\, World Ba nk\, and JP Morgan.\n\nHe is a member of advisory boards for the UN Secret ary General\, the UN Foundation\, Consumers Union\, and OECD\, and formerl y the American Bar Association\, Google\, AT&T\, and Nissan. He is a membe r of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and council member within th e World Economic Forum.\n\nOver the years Sandy has advised more than 80 P hD students. Together Sandy and his students have pioneered computational social science\, organizational engineering\, wearable computing (Google G lass)\, image understanding\, and modern biometrics. His most recent books are Building the New Economy and Trusted Data\, both published by MIT Pre ss\, Social Physics\, published by Penguin Press\, and Honest Signals\, pu blished by MIT Press.\n\nThis meeting of the Boston Chapter of the IEEE Co mputer Society will be hybrid (in person and online)\, part of getting bac k to normal after the COVID-19 lockdown.\n\nUp-to-date information about t his and other talks is available online at https://ewh.ieee.org/r1/boston/ computer/.
