IEEE, in collaboration with People Centered Internet, invites Internet enthusiasts and 460,000+ IEEE members from over 190 countries to join an engaging livestream as we look back at the Internet’s humble beginnings, and the important contributions of IEEE. In May 1974, the IEEE Transactions on Communications scientific journal published the seminal paper “A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication,” authored by Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn. 50 years later, join Vint Cerf and other luminaries in celebrating this milestone, and exploring what is next in the evolution of the Internet. Co-sponsored by: People Sponsored Internet (PCI) Agenda: Event Program and Schedule 12:00-12:10 PM: Opening Remarks IEEE and People Centered (https://peoplecentered.net/people/mei-lin-fung/), Chair | IEEE i50 Virtual Event; Chair | SSIT Sustainability Technical Committee; Co-chair & Co-founder | People Centered Internet (https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomcoughlin/2023/11/29/i-will-be-leading-the-ieee-in-2024/?sh=1048a9654c02), President, IEEE The 50th anniversary provides a time for reflecting on the role of technologists in contributing to a People-Centered Digital Future. We begin our celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Internet by highlighting the critical role of the IEEE in advancing technology for humanity over the next 50 years. IEEE uniquely spans business, government, academia, and all spheres of society–all of which are being transformed by digital connectivity. 12:10 - 12:35 PM: TCP and the Internet - Origins and Subsequent Impact (https://peoplecentered.net/people/vint-cerf/), Vice President, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google (http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/bios/kahn.html), Chair and CEO, Corporation for National Research Initiatives (http://www.jlabsllc.com/home-1), CEO, JLabs What led to TCP’s invention? What role did each panelist play in the Internet and TCP/IP story? What motivated TCP’s invention? What challenges do we face now and in the future as this technology evolves and becomes more ubiquitous?

How are governments, the private sector and academia working together to successfully shape a future increasingly dominated by AI? How can we deepen this cooperation to fulfill the Internet’s early vision and correct our mistakes, including all perspectives? 2:25 - 2:45 PM: Working Together Towards a Positive Digital Future The Internet spread around the world, driven by a sense of common cause and belief that it could be a platform for information sharing that would connect people and cultures. Over the past 50 years, it has realized this ambition but also unleashed new threats we did not imagine. As we look towards a new era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, how can we realize a positive digital future that is shaped by the collaborative efforts of governments, the technology community and civil society? How can the U.S. government lead these efforts? 2:45 - 3:00 PM: Closing Reflections (https://peoplecentered.net/people/mei-lin-fung/), Chair | IEEE i50 Virtual Event; Chair | SSIT Sustainability Technical Committee; Co-chair & Co-founder | People Centered Internet (https://www.computer.org/profiles/robert-metcalfe), Co-designer of Ethernet at Xerox PARC; the "Father" of Ethernet Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/419313

Power flow control techniques have been practiced, from using inductors, capacitors, transformers and load tap changers in the earlier days of electrical engineering to power electronics-based solutions in recent years. Even though the costs and complexities of the available solutions vary widely, the basic underlying theory of power flow control is still the same as it has always been. The question is which solution one should employ. The answer depends on knowing what the true need is. The power industry’s pressing need for the most economical ways to transfer bulk power along a desired path may be met by building new transmission lines, which is a long and costly process. Alternately, it may be quicker and cheaper to utilize the existing transmission lines more efficiently. The key is to identify the underutilized transmission lines and harness their dormant capacities to increase the power flows to the lines’ thermal limits using the most cost-effective and time-tested solutions.

Speaker: Chris Cheng, Distinguished Technologist, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Abstract: Generative AI and Large language models (LLM) with domain knowledge enhancements will fundamentally change the way we design hardware. In this talk we will start with the basic concept of transformer with encoder and decoder. We will discuss how domain knowledge can be injected into LLM through retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and fine tuning. We will also discuss the concept of LLM agent where complex design tasks can be done by the agent through planning, action with other tools and reasoning. An even more advanced technique will involve the LLM optimizing a design through optimization by prompt. We will conclude with the concept of foundational models for signal integrity and power integrity as an example of how we can tie LLM and Generative AI to complete a complex engineering design task. Speaker Bio: Chris Cheng is a Distinguished Technologist at the Storage Division of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. He is responsible for managing all high speed, analog/mixed signal designs and hardware machine learning development within the Storage Division. He also held senior engineering positions in SUN Microsystems where he developed the original GTL system bus with Bill Gunning. He was a Principal Engineer in Intel where he led high speed processor bus design team. He was the first hardware engineer in 3PAR and guided their high-speed design effort until it was acquired by Hewlett Packard.

Oxide based multilevel memristive switching devices for efficient analog In-memory computing in Artificial Intelligence applications [] Dr. Glenn Ning Ge CEO, TetraMem Inc TetraMem's memristive devices-based analog in-memory computing significantly boosts throughput and energy efficiency in deep learning. Our approach utilizes pre-trained synaptic weights from cloud-based training, directly programming them into computing memristors/multi-level RRAMs made with nanometer thin-films for edge deployment and enabling post-tuning to accommodate specific scenarios. High-precision programmability ensures uniform performance across memristive networks by necessitating numerous distinguishable conductance levels in each device. This advancement benefits applications like neural network training and inference computing. By achieving stable 8 bits and above multi-levels conductance in individual memristor devices (up to 11 bits/cell, as featured in "Nature" main journal publication, Mar 2023), we enable monolithically integrated semiconductor chips, featuring large crossbar arrays on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits in the commercial foundry, suitable for diverse AI applications. Our arbitrary precision computing based on analog computing work is published with "Science" main journal in Feb 2024. _________ Bio: Dr. Glenn Ning Ge is the CEO and co-founder of TetraMem, a leading Silicon Valley startup With a decade of experience in the semiconductor sector, he has contributed to numerous product innovations. He boasts around 800 global patent filings, stemming from over 300 US/PCT patent families, many of which are now in mass production. Dr. Ge holds three Master’s degrees, including an MBA from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

The seminar will feature invited talks on the theme, "Can Machines Be Good? Navigating the Ethics of Generative AI". A light meal will be served and the registration fee is $10. Stanford parking is free after 4 pm. Synopsis: Generative AI is changing our world, but this capacity also means that we must think about its ethical ramifications. The alleged “existential threat” posed by AI that some experts cautioned raises the question of whether machines can be good. The half-day seminar aims to foster a discussion on resolving societal issues emanating from the use of Generative AI. The talks by experts will delve into the moral minefield, including fake content, fairness, and the possibility of job displacement. Come engage in a stimulating conversation about how to minimize the possible hazards associated with generative AI while maximizing its potential benefits. We'll look at approaches and solutions for creating and implementing this technology ethically.
