SUMMARY:Intelligent Informatics at Rutgers: Open Data & Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Slides\nPoonam Soans – NJOIT Open Data Center \nRakesh Kumar – Benefits and Challenges of Generative AI \nPolicy Dynamics of Open Data and AI \nSummary\nby Julia Esguerra \nThe Open Data + AI forum was held just before Thanksgiving on November 17th\, hosted by the Public Informatics at Rutgers University program in collaboration with The New Jersey Big Data Alliance\, Heldrich Center for Workforce Development\, Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub\, and Rutgers University OARC. The well-attended virtual panel featured an insightful panel discussion where we heard from four speakers from a diverse range of backgrounds\, covering topics ranging from open data initiatives and technological advances to societal reactions and the media’s role in the AI landscape. The forum started with welcoming remarks from Dean Stuart Shapiro\, who expressed the boundless opportunities and considerable challenges in the intersection of open data and AI\, highlighting the need for diverse disciplines to constantly recalibrate in response to technological impacts\, and emphasizing the importance of building bridges between technical and non-technical perspectives to successfully balance the promises and risks of technological advances. \nThe first speaker was Poonam Soans\, the state of New Jersey’s Chief Data Officer\, who highlighted New Jersey’s open data portal\, emphasizing its standards and best practices for data sharing and transparency. The portal\, data.nj.gov\, includes diverse datasets such as public employee payroll records\, performance budgeting\, state expenditures\, and more. Poonam discussed the advantages of open data\, emphasizing its one-time effort for data input\, broad accessibility across departments and to the public\, and the potential for citizens to build applications on top of the data. She also stressed the importance of making open data AI-ready by establishing a solid foundation of data governance. \nDr. Rakesh Kumar provided a fascinating presentation\, featuring an interesting video on the potential of AI technology in robotics\, where he demonstrated how a robot could search for a person in a room hiding behind furniture! He focused on the technological advances introduced by Large Language Models (LLMs)\, emphasizing their state-of-the-art performance in Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, diverse task capabilities\, and potential for robots to navigate environments using 3D scene graphs. Dr. Kumar acknowledged challenges such as biased results and lack of explainability in AI. He emphasized the dynamic nature of knowledge\, suggesting that there is hope and opportunity in what can be learned tomorrow. \nProf. Clinton Andrews then discussed societal reactions to AI advancements\, particularly the challenges posed by chatbots like ChatGPT. He questioned whether society would do the right thing\, highlighting the need for regulation and ethical considerations in the emerging AI industry. Prof. Andrews delved into the role of individuals\, organizations\, and government in shaping ethical practices in AI. He emphasized personal ethics\, professional norms\, and the influence of government policies in creating a responsible AI landscape. The discussion also touched on the role of public data in resolving issues of data ownership. \nBringing an integrated and multifaceted perspective\, Rachel Rosenthal provided an enlightening perspective on the media. She explored the media’s place in the AI ecosystem\, describing the traditional newsroom structure. She highlighted the challenge shared by the media and policymakers in understanding the scope of AI-related problems in order to propose effective solutions. Rachel discussed the difficulty of projecting ahead in the complex AI landscape. She emphasized the slow and messy process of policymaking\, acknowledging the ongoing struggle to strike a balance between preserving innovation and protecting citizens in the context of AI. \nThe forum concluded with questions from the audience and an open discussion between the panelists moderated by Prof. Jim Samuel. In the panel discussion\, speakers identified Large Language Models (LLMs) as a current AI technology with significant potential impact\, emphasizing their role in providing easy access to knowledge and the ability to distill information. While cautioning about the need for expert user discernment\, they acknowledged the potential for LLMs to complement human capabilities rather than serving as substitutes. Regarding the shaping of society\, the panel highlighted both hopes and fears associated with AI and open data\, emphasizing the potential for better communication and knowledge distillation and the need for adaptability. On the topic of AI regulation\, the speakers expressed the view that regulation is necessary\, envisioning a process of building upon existing frameworks and acknowledging the potential for a long and messy but innovative journey. They advocated for developing regulation from the bottom up\, emphasizing AI’s life-changing use cases. \n\nThis event was hosted by the Master of Public Informatics program at Rutgers University\, in collaboration with our partners\, NJBDA\, Heldrich Center\, NEBigData InnovationHub & Rutgers OARC\nThis discussion was inspired by Bloustein research on the Garden State Open Data Index (GSODI).\nPlease email informatics@ejb.rutgers.edu for additional information.

SUMMARY:Parking Fight!  The Stuart Meck Memorial Lecture in Land Use Law and Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Henry Grabar\, Journalist and Loeb Fellow\, Harvard University Graduate School of Design \nIn the 2023 Stuart Meck Memorial Lecture in Land Use Law and Affordable Housing\, journalist Henry Grabar argues that the pursuit of a perfect parking space is the prime mover of local politics\, contemporary architecture\, and urban design. He presents his historical research on the “parking problem\,” reporting on parking’s role in community decision-making\, and explains the environmental disaster that is American parking policy. Finally\, he reviews the movement for parking reform\, from the pioneering work of Donald Shoup to contemporary policy changes and their results\, as activists try to repair the harms of a century- long experiment in planning for parking. \nHenry Grabar is a journalist who writes about cities. He’s a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and a staff writer at Slate. His work has also appeared in 99 Percent Invisible\, the Atlantic\, the Guardian\, Harper’s\, the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, and other publications. He has discussed these subjects on television and radio\, and before audiences at New America\, the National Press Foundation\, and various conferences and classrooms. His most recent book is Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World\, which was published in May\, 2023 by Penguin Press. \nRSVP at https://go.rutgers.edu/parkingfight

SUMMARY:Defending Democracy: The Fight for a Floor Beneath Which No Person Should Fall
DESCRIPTION:The Gov. James J. Florio Visiting Scholar in Public Policy Lecture\nIn partnership with the offices of Florio\, Perrucci\, Steinhardt\, & Fader LLC\, in 2015 the Bloustein School recognized Gov. Florio’s public service career through the endowment of a high-level visiting scholar. The annual Governor James J. Florio Distinguished Visiting Scholar of Public Policy will be a former senior government official or policy practitioner\, focusing on an issue that was central to his legislative and gubernatorial career. The themes of the lecture include public service\, foreign policy\, the environment\, transportation and mass transit\, education\, welfare reform\, health care\, and gun control. \nCongresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman\nU.S. House of Representatives (D-NJ 12th District); House Appropriations Committee \nThe first Black woman to represent New Jersey in Congress\, Bonnie Watson Coleman’s work in the House centers on her belief that\, in the United States\, there should exist a floor below which we should never allow any child\, any family\, any person to fall. Knowing that millions struggle every day just to make ends meet from the first to the last of the month\, her legislative work seeks to bridge the gap for these Americans\, making sure that the richest nation in the world doesn’t allow millions to live below the poverty line; doesn’t allow vulnerable groups to suffer the fallout of environmental violations; doesn’t allow profit margins to define the standards or the motivations for incarceration; and doesn’t allow bias to push everyday needs like car insurance out of reach for working families. \nWatson Coleman’s work in Congress continues a family legacy of public service\, fighting for women\, economically and socially disadvantaged populations\, and other vulnerable groups in our society. Prior to her election as a Representative for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District\, Watson Coleman served eight consecutive terms in the New Jersey General Assembly and shattered racial and gender barriers to become the first Black woman to serve as Majority Leader\, and as the Chair of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. During her time as Majority Leader\, Watson Coleman convened a year- long series of public hearings on reforms to prisoner re-entry programs while shepherding legislation through the Assembly that the New York Times called “a model for the rest of the nation\,” on prisoner rehabilitation and release. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Data-Driven Methods and Time-of-Use Data to Evaluate Urban Decarbonization Policies and Streamline Building Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Abigail Andrews\, Post-Doctoral Associate and NJ BPU Energy Fellow in Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research.  \nIdentifying opportunities to minimize energy use and carbon emissions of buildings is important for urban decarbonization. However\, doing so often necessitates a capital-intensie building energy audit that requires time-intensive on-site inspections. As municipalities across the United States mandate various urban decarbonization policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, audits\, and building performance standards) there is a growing need for building owners to audit buildings efficiently and at a low cost. Emerging data streams (e.g.\, automated meter infrastructure) allow the evaluation of real time energy use and carbon emissions data. This data not only provides a deeper understanding into building operations but also may provide audit insights and decarbonization opportunities. This seminar will discuss the potential of integrating time-of-use data in urban decarbonization policy and the development of an integrated physics-based model and data-classification method to identify potential inefficiencies in a building using electric meter data. Time-of-use energy data paired with machine learning may streamline urban decarbonization policy by improving the effectiveness and scalability of evaluation processes. \nDr. Andrews received her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University at the Urban Informatics Lab. She also holds a MS in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford University and a BA in Environmental Policy from Barnard College. Dr. Andrews uses data from building energy policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, building performance standards\, auditing) to evaluate urban decarbonization potential and to push forward equitable building decarbonization. Currently\, Dr. Andrews is interested in how municipalities can encourage the design and construction of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. \nFor questions Dr. David Coit (coit@soe.rutgers.edu)\, Dr. Aziz Ezzat (aziz.ezzat@rutgers.edu) or Dr. Elin Wicks (elm52@soe.rutgers.edu)

SUMMARY:Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design--Methods to obtain the occupant perspective
DESCRIPTION:International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) is a non-profit international society of building performance simulation researchers\, developers and practitioners\, dedicated to improving the built environment. Their new seminar series\, Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design\, promotes occupants as a focal point for the design process. A multi-disciplinary\, globally recognized team of scholars and practitioners responsible for an important new textbook will discuss theoretical and practical approaches to placing occupants and their needs at the heart of the design process. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar Clinton Andrews\, Bloustein School Professor and Associate Dean for Research will critically examine methods for learning about the occupant’s perspective regarding the design of buildings. He will discuss the nature of occupant data; the strengths and weaknesses of self-report\, observational\, and simulation methods; and the need to represent occupants prudently during the design process.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is required at https://bit.ly/IBPSA_webinars_candrews\n\nSee the complete webinar series flyer.
