9 cra.org/crn January 2018 Videos Now Available from the CRA Summit on Technology and Jobs
On December 12, 2017, CRA hosted the Summit on Technology and Jobs in Washington, DC. The day was packed with sessions that explored issues surrounding the impact of artificial intelligence and the future of work. Leading technologists, economists, and policy experts offered their views on where technology is headed and what its impact may be, and on policy issues raised by these projections and possible policy responses. The Summit was hosted by CRA, as part of its mission to engage the computing research community to provide trusted, non-partisan input to policy thinkers and makers.
The event was livestreamed and videos from the event are now available here. Slides are also available for download on the agenda page.
A few highlights from the workshop Andrew McAfee, Massachusetts Institute include: of Technology "What is going on with technology, jobs, and wages? The most important phenomenon about the American workforce is that we're seeing a polarization or 'hollowing out' of the workforce."
Mark Campbell, Cornell University Autonomous Vehicle Technology has potential for great impact on the economy. How our lives will change, what jobs will be impacted. When will this happen? The main question on everyone's mind is how quickly will this technology mature and be adopted.
Workshop Organizer Moshe Vardi, Rice University "We [computing researchers] created this technology; we must accept our social responsibility. We may not come up with the solutions, but we should be participating in the discussions."
Deborah Wince-Smith, US Council on Competitiveness
"This is a time of unprecedented disruption as intelligent systems interface with humans, change their jobs and Vint Cerf, Google change the patterns of societies." Cerf shared his thoughts on topics brought up during earlier sessions. He shared his areas of concern surrounding the increase in use of autonomous software including bugs in the software, safety, security, and privacy.

12 cra.org/crn January 2018 Meeting the Needs of Individuals with Disabilities – Accessible Computing
By Andrew Sears, CRA Board Member, The Pennsylvania State University
My research focuses on empowering individuals through computing technologies that more effectively match their knowledge, experience, abilities, and goals. The majority of my recent research has focused on accessibility-related issues. Working with my students, our research employs a broad definition of accessibility, seeking to empower individuals with disabilities as well as individuals who may experience challenges due to the environment in which they are using computing technologies.
Our early research focused on the needs of individuals with physical disabilities that hindered their use of a keyboard and mouse. Through a series of studies involving individuals with high-level spinal cord injuries, usage patterns were identified as were opportunities to allow for more efficient and effective interactions. These About the Author early studies produced a pair of critical observations that produced more effective speech-based interactions and also provided guidance for much of our subsequent Andrew Sears is a professor and dean of research. the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State.

Distinguished Lecture Series
20 cra.org/crn January 2018 Expanding the Pipeline: CRA-W at 2017 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing
By Shar Steed, CRA Communications Specialist
The 2017 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) was held in Orlando, Florida, from October 4-6. The annual conference, which is the world’s largest conference for women in computing, has grown exponentially during recent years. For instance, 2017 attendance topped more than 18,000, shattering the previous year’s attendance record of 15,000-plus participants.
On the first day, the Anita Borg Institute, which produces the event, announced it would now be called "AnitaB.org." As a perfect complement to its new name and image, AnitaB. org started the "I am" movement, a way for individuals to share a bit about themselves. The organization encouraged speakers and attendees to join the "I am" movement by creating their own "I am" signs with short descriptions of themselves.
The conference featured several inspiring keynotes, including one by CRA-W board member Ayanna Howard of the Georgia Institute of Technology. During the closing session, Howard’s presentation shared her research on robotics, and emphasized the need to remove bias when programming robots so that the robots can work well with humans. (Click here to view a recording of her session.)
For the ninth consecutive year, CRA-W presented career mentoring content for GHC attendees interested in research. Mentoring tracks were available for all career levels: undergraduate, graduate, and professional. Session topics ranged from "Making the Most of Your Summer Internship" to "Graduate School Survival Skills" to "Top Tips for Balancing the Demands of a Research Career."
CRA-W's presence at GHC also included a reception for CRA-W alumnae, a booth in the Career Fair displaying information on CRA and CRA-W programs, and several tables in the Student Opportunity Lab.
During the “Starting, Managing, and Growing Your Own Research Program” session, CRA board member Nancy Amato presented the 2017 CRA A. Nico Habermann Award to Carol Frieze, director

Diverse perspectives foster innovation and ensure the needs of many are met. At present, tech companies lack demographic diversity. As the director of the Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP) at CRA, Jane Stout studies factors that often encourage (or discourage) people from underrepresented groups from pursuing technical careers. Recently, Stout led an interactive and insightful webinar on issues including:
• The latest research on why this is the case
• How tech companies can turn this around
• Suggested strategies to increase diversity in our workforce
