AI systems can help uncover abuses\, expand access to services\, support crisis response\, and detect harmful patterns at scale. But they can also amplify surveillance\, bias\, disinformation\, and exclusion. To develop solutions that are genuinely helpful and safe\, we need collaboration among AI researchers\, human rights practitioners\, domain experts\, and impacted communities.\n \n In this workshop\, we’ll explore the points of interaction between AI and human rights challenges\, and discuss how existing obstacles in human right solutions can inform new research directions in artificial intelligence. U(M) researchers will briefly present on current topics in AI and in human rights\, followed by table discussions with domain experts in both human right related issues and AI. You are encouraged to bring your own topics\, problems\, and innovations to share with the group.\n \n Discussion topics brought up in this workshop will be used as the basis for a whitepaper on the intersection of AI & Human Rights.\n \n Program\n 1:00-1:30 pm\n Introduction (goals and directions) and Keynote Talk\n \n 1:30-1:50 pm\n Human Rights Talk\n \n 1:50-1:55 pm\n Q & A\n \n 1:55-2:15 pm\n AI Talk\n \n 2:15-2:20 pm\n Q & A\n \n 2:20-2:25 pm\n TBA\n \n 2:25-2:40 pm\n Break\n \n 2:40-2:55 pm\n Introduction to the Roundtable discussion format\n \n 2:55-4:50 pm\n Roundtables with 1 lead and 1 note-taker (7 tables)\n \n 2:55-3:10 pm: (15 min) Brief introductions (“I am X\, from Dept Y\, I’m interested in the aspects of Z on Climate and/or AI”)\n 3:10-3:15 pm: (5 min) Individual thinking and notes on stickies for (i) Challenges that (could) intersect with AI\n 3:15-3:40 pm: (25 min) Group discussions\n 3:40-4:00 pm: (20 min) Report back\n 4:00-4:05 pm: (5 min) (ii) Potential Solutions\, e.g.\, conversation and user interviews to set up the -solution\, new task formulation for research\, dataset building\, and study design\n 4:05-4:30 pm: (25 min) Group discussions\n 4:30-4:50 pm: (20 min) Report back\n With this roundtable conversations\, we aim to:\n \n (1) identify list of challenges and potential paths to solutions\n \n (2) facilitate new collaborations\n \n (3) work together on a white paper identifying a roadmap for this space (pending interest)\n \n 4:50-5:00 pm\n Wrap-up\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu.

This revolution is fundamentally fueled by semiconductor innovation—stretching from energy-efficient transistors to advanced integration technologies like CoWoS®\, 3D stacking\, and heterogeneous packaging. As power delivery\, memory access\, and high-speed signaling become critical bottlenecks to AI scaling\, next-generation solutions are emerging as vital pillars for system-level performance. At the foundational device level\, transistor scaling continues to drive performance – the industry is transitioning from FinFET to Nanosheets. Advanced 2.5D and 3D packaging transcend fundamental reticle limits with fine-pitch hybrid bonding and high-aspect-ratio TSVs. By enabling highly integrated\, heterogeneous chiplet architectures\, these packaging and integration innovations will deliver unprecedented memory bandwidth and energy efficiency. Overcoming the I/O power wall in next-generation AI fabrics requires Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) powered by advanced silicon photonics like COUPE (Compact Universal Photonic Engine). This new AI platform delivers ultra-low latency\, high-density connectivity\, and sub-pJ/bit energy efficiency essential for massive AI workloads. This talk will present state-of-the-art semiconductor platform technologies designed for AI applications\, while outlining the future opportunities and directions of the industry.\n\nBio: Dr. Kevin Zhang currently serves as Deputy Co-COO and Senior Vice President at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

We examine the link between asset reallocation and rent-seeking enabled by differences in the expected cost of environmental liabilities. Focusing on the US oil and gas industry\, we develop a conceptual framework that incorporates both firm specialization in well types and the judgment-proof problem\, by which undercapitalized firms can avoid environmental liabilities. We then build a novel dataset with hundreds of thousands of well transfers over 1992 to 2023\, showing that oil and gas wells are transferred frequently\, particularly as they age and their revenues decline. Moreover\, low-value wells are especially likely to be transferred to low-value firms. Transferred wells produce similar amounts in later years\, but are less likely to be plugged -- thus posing greater environmental risk. We conclude with policy implications related to well plugging\, bonding requirements\, and decarbonization. \n\nBiography:\nCatie Hausman is a Professor in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She is an environmental and energy economist. Some of her recent areas of research include electricity transmission policy\; the natural gas sector's role in methane leaks\; the economic damages from climate change\; and inequality in pollution exposure.

If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n
