One of the most common questions we get is "How can I find opportunities to practice Tech Stewardship in my career?" Join us in partnership with @careercycles this Tuesday, October 29th, at 1 pm ET for a free 60min virtual interactive "Conversations Matter" session to explore this question. https://bit.ly/4hipkgv

We are excited to announce the pilot of a new AI Stewardship Practice Program! The pilot is focused on professionals and grad students who are already actively engaging with artificial intelligence (AI). The experience will be a small cohort engaging in a six-week guided journey to introduce stewardship practice with a focus on AI. A central focus of the program will be appreciating a diverse range of perspectives, which includes those of researchers, entrepreneurs, adopters, creators, educators, policymakers, and advocates. If you’ve already completed our base Tech Stewardship Practice Program (TSPP), this will be an excellent opportunity to deepen your stewardship practice and apply it to AI. The pilot launches next week and a limited number of spots are still available. So if you’re interested, register today! https://lnkd.in/g5FmKhrC #AIStewardship, #TechStewardship, #AI, #ArtificialIntelligence, #ResponsibleAI, #AIforGood

The Energy Transition is perhaps the greatest socio-technological challenge of our time. The scale and complexity of this challenge can be overwhelming, but launching and maintaining a Tech Stewardship practice can help you to maximize your contributions. Registration is currently open for the Tech Stewardship for the Energy Transition Program. The program consists of a series of simple reflective exercises that are designed to help you integrate socio-ethical considerations into your work or studies, and navigate the competing priorities you will face as you seek to help accelerate the energy transition. The program is self facilitated and flexible. It requires 6hrs of commitment if you’ve already completed the base Tech Stewardship Practice Program (TSPP). If you haven’t yet completed the base 12hr TSPP, you can register and complete it in parallel. Engage with leading practitioners, build your network, and earn a sought-after micro-credential. Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/gtyJA2RE The program is free for current post-secondary students. There is a cost of $80 CAD ($60 US) for professionals, with free or discounted registration available through our numerous partners, or for those who cannot afford to pay. #energytransition, #climatechange, #tech, #innovation, #purpose, #values, #sustainability, #diversity, #equity, #inclusion, #ethics

Thank you to Engineering Change Lab - USA for the opportunity to preview the pilot of our new AI Stewardship Practice Program. Pre-registration will be opening next week, so stay tuned...
Mark Abbott of Engineering Change Lab Canada kicked off Day Two of the 2024 Engineering Ideas Institute with his presentation of “AI as a Wicked Problem.” Mark led an exploration of the proliferation of AI as either problem or opportunity. ECL Canada’s new AI Stewardship Practice Program will focus on shaping the landscape of AI for the benefit of all. Mark described AI stewardship as a way to shape the impact of technology on our physical and mental evolution. Participants then participated in a group exercise that utilized scenario thinking to imagine the future of AI. Participants formulated future scenarios related to AI’s impact on education, transportation, and health care. Insights from these scenarios included the need to give up the traditional identities tied to engineering disciplines, our ethical obligation to care for the casualties of major changes stemming from AI, the multi-disciplinary aspects of all the scenarios, and the inevitability of collateral damage. Kristen Uhlenbrock of the Institute for Science and Policy at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science addressed the prevalence of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation in a VUCA world. To build trust in institutions, like the engineering community, Kristen highlighted the Institute’s practices of recognizing complexity, learning to disagree respectfully and define what the debate is about, and building meaningful relationships through listening. Participants reflected on this message, highlighting the need for all in the engineering community to recognize our own worldviews can shape the information we seek out and our messages to others. The final wicked problem to be examined at the institute is the recent emergence of the pushback against DEI programs and the implications of this emerging trend for the engineering community. Provocateurs Yolanda Webb of WEBB Advisory Group, Rico Thomas of Civil Technology Inc., and Bryan Dewsbury of Florida International University offered different perspectives on this issue. Yolanda challenged participants to be daring not daunted in the face of this trend. Rico cautioned against shifting to the extremes of the issue and the need to focus on effective execution of programs. Bryan discussed his teaching philosophies that have resulted in remarkable results for students from marginalized communities, encapsulating the reasons why DEI exists. We look forward to Day Three and a deep dive into what we are learning about the leadership mandate for the engineering community in a VUCA future.
