IBM WATSON: SUPERMAN OR SUPERCOMPUTER? MAKING MONEY WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

5:30 PM – 6:15 PM

Location: 146

IBM’s Artificial Intelligence, Watson, made its debut as a research project on the American gameshow Jeopardy! in 2011. As part of IBM’s strategy to accelerate the growth of artificial intelligence and cognitive computing, today Watson is an open platform to the world! With millions of developers connected to this advanced and diverse cognitive computing tech, entrepreneurs, students and tech enthusiasts can easily tap into the growing solution base for use and deployment. The community is growing quickly –in over 45 countries, across 20 different industries - of those who build and bring to market their own powered-by-Watson applications. Learning what is possible may seem obscure. With thousands of companies who build and offer ‘smart’ products, we may be lead to think that AI is just to enable ‘new things’. But, says Teerlink “it turns out that people just want to do the same things they’ve always done, only faster, across an obscene amount of data, and preferably cheaper”. Marc’s guidance for startups is no-nonsense: “If you want to build a successful business, take a process that you know well, and move the heavy lifting to AI, whilst letting humans do the creative thinking”.

INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC: NANOTECH IN SCI FI

4:30 PM – 5:15 PM

Location: 143

No technology featured in science fiction may better exemplify Arthur C. Clarke’s third law, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,' than nanotechnology. Often used as a panacea or doomsday device, nanotechnology is invoked to explain away phenomena that, at least for now, aren’t possible. Writers often summon nanotechnology to cure the incurable or to explain enhanced human abilities; to justify mystery materials that are indestructible, capable of cloaking, or impossible to characterize; or to rationalize instant, molecular manufacturing that meets all our needs. Join experts in nanotechnology as they share their predictions for the future of nanotechnology and discover how close your favorite sci fi reference to nanotechnology may actually be to coming true.

Panelists: Lloyd Whitman – Chief Scientist at NIST and Acting Lead for Technology and Innovation Policy at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Jordan Green, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Ophthalmology, Oncology, Neurosurgery, and Materials Science & Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Mihal Gross – former Program Officer at the Office of Naval Research, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and Depart. of Energy; currently a patent agent specializing in nanotechnology Ronald Cowen – Science writer and editor at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

CASSINI'S SPECTACULAR GRAND FINALE AT SATURN

12:30 PM - 1:15 PM

Location: 143

On September 15th, the incredible Cassini voyage comes to an end. For more than 13 years Cassini has orbited Saturn, making repeated close encounters with its diverse satellites, rings and the giant planet itself, taking spectacular pictures and making new scientific discoveries. But all good things must come to an end, and Cassini's journey is nearly finished now that its fuel supplies are running low. However before the spacecraft plunges into Saturn’s atmosphere to disappear forever, the mission team has planned a daring finale: Cassini will dive into the narrow gap between the rings and planet to make a final set of unique measurements, including where ring particles spiral into the planet. We will show the latest images, and discuss Cassini’s incredible science legacy from the discovery of giant seas of liquid methane on Titan’s north pole, to a year-long storm on Saturn, to water geysers caught in the act of erupting from the small moon Enceladus, and more.

ARE WE LOOKING FOR THE WRONG ALIENS?

1:30 PM – 2:15 PM

Location: 150

Could our efforts to ferret out signals from extraterrestrials be misdirected? We’ve always made the assumption that the aliens share some of our own fundamental characteristics – that they’re members of a brainy species consisting of billions of individuals, living out their lives on planets or moons sporting liquid oceans and thick atmospheres. But could the truth be entirely different? Could it be that the majority of the intelligence in the cosmos is not soft and squishy, but in sophisticated machines that might not be limited to the type of worlds we examine? If so, what would this mean for our search for cosmic company, and for the future of Homo sapiens?

ROBOTS IN SPACE

2:30 PM – 3:15 PM

Location: 143

Satellites do a lot for us, including allowing us to explore and learn about the universe itself. In an average year, several billion dollars’ worth of satellites are retired when their fuel supply is exhausted, or when repairable issues are overlooked. But there’s a better way! Rather than launching new satellites when previous ones run out of fuel or run into issues, why not try to fix, refuel, or upgrade them?

That’s where NASA’s Satellite Servicing Projects Division (SSPD) comes in. After completing five successful Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Servicing Missions, SSPD is continuing this legacy by advancing the state of the art in robotic servicing.

Join SSPD engineers as they walk you through the revolutionary robotic technology NASA is developing to facilitate and advance satellite servicing and other missions. From robotic arms to relative navigation systems and beyond, these technologies are paving the way to the future.

Prosecution’s star witness takes stand in Cedeno school stabbing trial

Posted: Tuesday, July 2, 2019 7:24 PM EDTUpdated: Tuesday, July 2, 2019 7:24 PM EDT
THE BRONX -

The prosecution's star witness took the stand Tuesday in the murder trial of Abel Cedeno, a teen accused of a fatal high school stabbing in 2017.

Cedeno is accused of fatally stabbing 15-year-old Matthew McRee and injuring another student, Ariane Laboy, during a fight inside a classroom at the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation in September 2017.

Laboy took the stand Tuesday to testify about the classroom fight that killed his friend and left him severely injured. Laboy, who is now 18, broke down on the stand several times describing the stabbing of McRee.

The prosecution kept the media away from Laboy by bringing him through an entrance, avoiding television cameras.
Laboy told the court how he saw McRee holding his chest after he was stabbed. He says he got up and began to fight with Abel Cedeno.

Laboy showed the judge scars from several stab wounds, which he says were inflicted by Cedeno.
During cross-examination, Laboy was grilled by Cedeno's lawyers for close to two hours. The defense claims Laboy and McRee were the aggressors and systemically bullied Cedeno at the school because he was gay. The prosecution complained several times to the presiding judge that Cedeno's lawyer, Robert Feldman, was harassing Laboy on the stand by his tone of voice and a series of what they deemed irrelevant questionings.

A substitute teacher also took the stand Tuesday and testified that Matthew McRee threw the first punch at Cedeno.
Both opposing sides have a civil lawsuit against the Department of Education, claiming it failed to protect students.
On Wednesday, several more students who were in the classroom when the stabbing took place are scheduled to testify.
