The rapid advancement of generative AI is transforming how children interact, learn, and socialize. Surveys show that 45% of high school (https://cdt.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/FINAL-Off-Task-Report-Slides.pdf) already use OpenAI platforms, such as ChatGPT, to deal with friendship, relationship, and mental health issues. There are many outstanding questions about the impact that these developments will have on children’s development and socialization. As generative AI becomes more readily accessible in schools and at home, researchers worry that younger students may face (https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/edcast/24/10/impact-ai-childrens-development) opportunities for critical social interactions that are essential for the development of emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication skills. In an effort to address some of these questions, the new Brookings Global Taskforce on AI and Education has embarked on a two-year initiative to conduct a “(https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-world-needs-a-premortem-on-generative-ai-and-its-use-in-education/)” on generative AI in the context of global education. On May 6, the Center for Universal Education will host a conversation led by Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning and author of “Love to Learn.” A panel discussion exploring the impacts of AI in children’s lives will follow, featuring experts in early learning, mental health and technology, and research on AI companions.

A century ago, Willie Sutton robbed banks with guns “because that was where the money was.” Today, with the rise of online banking, digital transactions, and electronic money, scam artists and fraudsters use phishing emails, hacks, synthetic identities and all sorts of scams to steal from people and financial institutions. In response to this new era of theft, firms are utilizing artificial intelligence programs designed to detect, deter, and stop scams and frauds. On Wednesday, May 7, the (https://connect.brookings.edu/e3t/Ctc/DF+113/c1x-m04/VVn1zs4HqWNqW1K15P86c4xdkW6fpr4J5vNJq7N28qGwW3qg1qW7Y8-PT6lZ3l7W5FQySx7d9fcMW1Zzgsw88pgLXW413BFM8XHrkwW713yXk93tfDPN7D8PqpM1BS5W1vG3Ql7T4t7wW5ndJnk4JMb9MW2pLnm599p416W6WrCqQ864VLsW8yZlbQ6rPvR6W2CPBd-2xMsThW67LK141L_wKxMvJ4WVQ00wjW7GdGRm6qmT6RN8MtVfLHQq1sVN-tMB8wrkk4W7NwG4D3XpcHRW59X6Df344d1ZN9dqPbbfHZ-jW1sqDr21CJnl1W14MGPp8wcrZLV2h1MT8XM9LWW62FJq416-bzwW3DvsNk2N9Jz5VGGd3y8gv0fTW6cZY8z8dCdkYf4MFX7Y04) at Brookings will convene a panel of leading experts from Block, JP Morgan Chase, and FinRegLab to discuss the potential for AI as a new weapon to fight fraud and scams.

Electronics play a crucial role across all industry sectors, especially as systems become more interconnected, cloud-based, electrified, and powered by artificial intelligence (AI). This applies not only to existing electronics but also to emerging technologies pushing the boundaries of scale, data speed, power, and AI-driven innovations. Emerging technologies that are major drivers for electronics growth include Hyperscalars driven by AI and machine learning, IOT, EV and autonomous vehicles. Generative AI has been driving demand for high performance GPU based servers and increased loads at data centers. Chip makers have in turn been focused on development of MPUs and GPUs optimized for AI. 5 and 6G applications likewise require sensing, computation and transfer of large volumes of data without latency. All these applications have been pushing electronics towards heterogenous integration with 2.5 and 3D chiplets which allow for greater speeds, functionality and smaller footprints. However, these newer designs, materials and shrinking of scale cause thermal management and reliability issues in electronics introducing new failure sites and modes. This seminar will focus on the critical role reliability plays in the design, manufacturing, and long-term performance of electronic systems. The presentation will start with an overview of the semiconductor supply chain, answering questions such as “who are the key players in various industries?” and “what is driving innovation and how is it taking shape?” The session will continue with addressing key foundational electronics reliability concepts such as the bathtub curve, the difference between reliability physics and handbook calculations, prognostic health management, and common failure mechanisms. Additional time will be spent describing the reliability challenges presented by advanced packaging, like 3D heterogeneous integrated packages To address the evolving topic of electronics reliability as industry needs evolve, Ansys, in collaboration with IEEE, is hosting an Electronics reliability tutorial series that explore electronic component reliability, key electronic failure mechanism and root cause, manufacturing reliability, and simulation/testing for reliability. These tutorials are offered as bundles for continuing education credit with an electronics reliability certificate from IEEE.
