Public pharma is an alternative to our current profit-driven pharmaceutical system. Public pharma uses the public sector to research, develop, manufacture, and distribute drugs.“Fixing a Broken System: The Path to Public Pharma in New York” is a critical discussion that will illuminate the transformative potential of publicly owned, manufactured, and distributed pharmaceuticals as we confront an industry that has prioritized profits over patients for too long, leaving patients without access to the medications they need to survive.The discussion was organized by T1International, the NY #insulin4all Chapter, NYU Law’s Science, Health, and Information Clinic, and The Health and Political Economy Project of the New School's Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy, and hosted by the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy. Speakers included New York State Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar, former New York City Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi, and Yale School of Medicine Professor Kasia Lipska.More information: https://www.nyuengelberg.org/events/fixing-a-broken-system-the-path-to-public-pharma-in-new-york/

Introducing Knowing Machines, a podcast companion to the Knowing Machines project. In this podcast, we're going to look at the data that's used to train artificial intelligence. The building blocks of these systems offer us a powerful way to understand how these systems see the world, how they interpret it, as well as what they don't see, and what they might be getting wrong. So we're here to discuss what that material is and why it matters. The season brings together computer scientists, engineers, social scientists, humanists, and also artists and journalists, a whole range of different interdisciplinary stakeholders in the same room to demystify this moment in artificial intelligence. Episodes will drop weekly. We look forward to have you listen with us.
