SUMMARY:“Decoding the brain’s own language”: Brain implants\, neurorights\, and the corporate race to decode thought
DESCRIPTION:Isabel Pedersen will present at the annual conference of the Canadian Communication Association. \nPrecision Neuroscience\, Synchron\, Neuralink\, and Paradromics are racing to develop brain implants for many applications including therapeutic use\, cognitive enhancement\, and for general\, ‘everyday’ communication. The Paradromics website\, for example\, claims “we will continue to expand the capabilities of our massively scalable platform to support a pipeline of future applications that could benefit millions”. Precision Neuroscience celebrates the concept of “decoding the brain’s own language” (Vimeo\, 2024). Elon Musk’s Neuralink has been approved for clinical trials in Canada (Reuters\, 2024). \nThis presentation questions and explores how ‘neurorights’ can be established as these technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace and offer advancements due to the decoding of neurodata.

SUMMARY:2025 Teaching With AI Conference
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lesley Wilton is the keynote speaker at the 2025 Teaching With AI Conference. \nRapidly evolving as a general-purpose technology\, AI is increasingly enmeshed in formal and informal learning environments. Meaningfully integrating AI into teaching and learning requires understandings of what AI is\, what it does and what pedagogies (including AI pedagogies) best benefit learners. Troubling our thinking is: what are we teaching? and how?—and what is the role of AI? We are guided by societal and educational frameworks. Educators have a wide range of technical backgrounds–from little technical understanding to AI experts. In context\, technology transience highlights the importance of AI Literacy. Evolving frameworks\, such as UNESCOs\, are important in navigating both our understandings of teaching with AI and of how learners use AI for learning. AI systems are complex\, so the promise of agreed-upon descriptive structures (e.g. consistent model-card type information for each AI tool) may help educators better understand what an AI system actually does and identify its educational value. Responsible use of AI requires us to think critically and to consider the inherent risks of safety\, privacy\, data collection\, bias\, explainability and more. This keynote will guide staying the course toward learning as we navigate the uncharted waters of the WHAT and WHY of AI in education. \nClick here to view the program.
