Online communities have evolved from eMail lists and Bulletin board systems (BBS) to FaceBook, Zoom/Webex/Meet tools and overlap with Tiktok and more. The way these tools interact with users (email, websites, apps) and the implications of these (privacy, advertising, etc.) are points to understand. Recent disclosures indicate that Meta research indicated that use of that system was psychologically harmful, which parallels research in other areas. We will be hosted at The Baldwin in Londonderry, a residential community that uses Groups.io as an online community environment (as does the NH IEEE Section ExCom) -- so we will use that as an example of the types of capabilities an online community might find useful. This particular tool has a 'freemium" version that participants may find useful to coordinate ongoing groups, or a family reunion. And we will be sharing the discussion with Webex, a virtual event tool that IEEE uses (competes with Zoom, Meet, etc.) Members using other platforms/tools are encouraged to share their observations about the pros and cons of these. Register as a virtual attendee to get Webex URL Room: Classroom, Bldg: C, 50 Woodmont ave, Londonderry, New Hampshire, United States, 03053, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/517149 |

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly algorithmic AI, hold the potential to improve access to services, increase efficiency, and reduce bias. They also raise new questions about what constitutes equitable treatment or discrimination. On December 4, the Hamilton Project at Brookings will host a virtual event that focuses on the opportunities and risks associated with the growing use of algorithms, including whether new regulatory frameworks or ways of adapting existing anti-discrimination and other rules are needed. The event will feature a panel discussion with Tara Sinclair (George Washington University), Catherine Tucker (MIT), and Nicol Turner Lee (The Brookings Institution). The discussion will be moderated by Sanjay Patnaik (The Brookings Institution). In conjunction with the event, the Hamilton Project will release a proposal from Catherine Tucker addressing artificial intelligence and algorithmic exclusion.

The United States remains critically dependent on foreign—particularly Chinese—sources for rare earth elements (REEs), which underpin a vast array of modern technologies. These materials are indispensable to defense platforms, renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, drones, robotics, medical diagnostics, telecommunications infrastructure, and consumer electronics. Today, nearly 90% of U.S. critical materials are imported from Asia-Pacific suppliers, exposing the nation to significant risks, including price volatility, geopolitical leverage, and potential supply chain interruptions during periods of global or regional instability. This presentation focuses on rare-earth-based permanent magnets—the highest-value use of REEs and the heart of many advanced STEM applications. We explore three interconnected dimensions: • REE Science and Technologies: the physics, chemistry, and materials engineering that enable world-class magnetic performance. • Sustainability and Environmental Impact: mining, separation, processing, and the urgent need for greener, more efficient production pathways. • Supply, Industrial Base, and Policy: current chokepoints, global competition, and U.S. national-security implications heading into 2026. We further examine emerging strategies in domestic and allied sourcing, circular-economy approaches such as recycling and magnet-to-magnet recovery, and re-engineering components to reduce or diversify REE demand. Finally, we outline actionable steps the global community can take to mitigate China’s overwhelming dominance in rare earths—strengthening supply chain resilience, promoting technological innovation, and ensuring secure access to the critical materials that power the 21st-century economy. Speaker(s): Vincent G. Harris, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood Street, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421
