SUMMARY:CAREERS:  MPP\, MCRP\, and MPI Fellowship Fair
DESCRIPTION:Ten (10) Fellowships will be showcased\, some of which are available while you are student and others which are available post-graduation! Fellowships\, like internships\, are paid experiences which enable you to get hands-on experience with real world projects and to give you a feel for what it’s like to work in a particular organization/job/field. However they are typically longer-term and structured a bit differently than an internship. They also provide the opportunity for you to build upon and learn new skills\, expand your resume\, get a foot in the door of an organization and to network with professionals working at that organization. \nREGISTRATION COMING SOON!

SUMMARY:Health Administration Grand Rounds: Leading in Difficult Times: The power of low-ego and high-drive leadership
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Amer Kaissi\, Ph.D.\,  Professor of Health Administration\, Trinity University and Executive Coach\n \nEach semester\, the Bloustein School Health Administration program hosts a nationally-recognized speaker to deliver research “grand rounds.” All students\, faculty\, and community members are welcome to attend. In the post-Covid world of emotional exhaustion\, staffing shortages and financial challenges\, improving employee engagement and sparking their innovation and creativity is an uphill battle for most leaders. In this session\, Amer shows that leaders who have the confidence to make hard decisions in uncertain environments and the humility to admit mistakes\, can better connect with their team members\, while empowering them to integrate novel ideas into how they solve problems. Building on the latest research evidence and his experience as a coach with high-level executives\, he makes a convincing argument that humbitious and open-minded leadership is the best way to lead in difficult times. He provides specific take-home behaviors for leaders to implement immediately and transform the way they lead.  \n \nNO RSVP NEEDED\, join by Zoom\n  \nTo purchase a copy of Dr. Kaissi’s book\, “Humbitious: The Power of Low-Ego\, High-Drive Leadership\,” visit Amazon

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.
