WEBCAST FEB 1 – A11yNYC – Google Project Relate: A Communication Tool
On Tuesday February 1 2022 at 7pm-8pm EST (00:00-01:00 UTC Jan12) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts an online meetup ‘Google Project Relate: A Communication Tool‘. Pan-Pan Jiang of Google will introduce a new Android app called Project Relate, which aims to help people with speech impairments communicate more easily with others and interact with Google Assistant. Users record a set of phrases from which the app, via a library of more than one million samples, learns how to better understand the speaker’s unique speech patterns, and give them access to the app’s three main features: Listen, Repeat, and Assistant. Impaired English speakers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States are invited to trial the app.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG

WEBCAST TODAY: @IQ2US Debate “The U.S. Should Adopt the “Right to Be Forgotten” Online w/ @zittrain #RightToBeForgotten
Today Wednesday March 11 2015 at 6:45pm EDT Intelligence Squared will host a debate – The U.S. Should Adopt the “Right to Be Forgotten – at the Kaufman Center in NYC. In 2014, the European Union’s Court of Justice determined that individuals have a right to be forgotten, “the right—under certain conditions—to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about them.” It is not absolute, but meant to be balanced against other fundamental rights, like freedom of expression. In a half year following the Court’s decision, Google received over 180,000 removal requests. Of those reviewed and processed, 40.5% were granted. Largely seen as a victory in Europe, in the U.S., the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. Was this ruling a blow to free speech and public information, or a win for privacy and human dignity? For: Paul Nemitz, Dir. of Fundamental Rights & Citizenship, DG Justice & Consumers, EU Commission; Eric Posner, Professor of Law, University of Chicago. Against: Andrew McLaughlin, CEO, Digg and Instapaper & Fmr. Dir. of Global Public Policy, Google; Jonathan Zittrain, Professor, Harvard Law & Co-Founder, Berkman Center for Internet & Society. The vent will be webcast live via fora.tv

What: The U.S. Should Adopt the “Right to Be Forgotten
Where: Kaufman Center in NYC
When: Wednesday March 11 2015 at 6:45pm EDT | 00:45 UTC
