Electrical engineering students in general learn about the environmental concerns associated with various power generation technologies as well as the importance of the availability of power for the society. However, these topics are typically not discussed in sufficient detail to teach the students about the delicate interrelation between energy, environment and the society. Most assignments, class activities or course projects focus on engineering excellence and cost efficiency. What seems to be missing is having the students exposed to realistic operation and design scenarios that present one or more ethical dilemmas. It is only then that the students learn to make environmentally and socially aware decisions and view the problem beyond engineering principles alone. This paper presents a pedagogical perspective on developing educational modules and active learning exercises centered on social and environmental ethics, suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses that focus on the design and operation of energy systems.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117236345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As governments of developing countries continue to shift to more advanced digital platforms, they have adopted practices and policies that have a direct impact on the future of AI-based technology. This research aims to discuss factors that may have a direct impact on the AI preparedness of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries. It evaluates a recent ranking developed by the international development research center (IDRC) focused on indicators towards the development or use of AI technology in governance, infrastructure, technological skills, and public services against each country's economic metrics including unemployment rate, gross domestic product per capita purchasing power parity (GDP-PPP), cost to hire an AI researcher, and countrywide education levels. It also reviews metrics and factors outside of economics which have a direct impact on AI readiness and its effects on each country's citizens, including automation potential and data privacy policies. This research discusses current issues with existing evaluation criteria for AI readiness and expands factors and considerations essential to LAC countries as they embrace the AI revolution.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"47 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120922969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to leverage the open source applications of these technologies, machine translation, text-to-speech system (TTS), and speech-to-text system (STT) to convert available online resources to Indian languages. This application takes an English language video as an input and separates the audio from video. It then divides the audio file into several smaller chunks based on the timestamps. These audio chunks are then individually converted into text using IBM Watson's speech-to-text (STT) module. The obtained text chunks are then concatenated and passed to Google's machine translate API for conversion to the requested Indian language. After this translation, a TTS system is required to convert the text into the desired audio output. Not many open source TTS systems are available for Indian regional languages. One such available application is the flite engine (a lighter version of Festival engine developed by Prof. Alan Black at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)). This flite engine is used as TTS for generating audio from translated text. The accuracy of the application developed can be as high as 91 percent for a single video and averages about 79 percent. This accuracy is verified by comparing naturality of the audio with the general spoken language. This application is beneficial to visually impaired people as well as individuals who are not capable of reading text to acquire knowledge in their native language. In future, this application aims to achieve ubiquitous communication enabling people of different regions to communicate with each other breaking the language barriers.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116163652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These actions target a range of personal to national level security and privacy attributes related to cybercrime, behavior, and identities. These emerging threats call for new indicators for improved awareness, decisions, and action. This research proposes a cyber-physical-human spectrum of identification with a prototyped classification method. Classifier goals are to aid in awareness of activity and potential harmful intent such as detection of identity feature acquisition, fraudulent identities and entities, and targeting or influential behavior. Emerging malicious influence actors prey on human social demographic groups and trends using the Internet infrastructure with social network platform access to large target populations as their attack surface. The methodology discusses how this problem could benefit from a combined human-technical approach to understand indicators of influencing human perception that persuade someone perform a desired action. This method is designed to aid in rapid influence awareness and introduce a counter-influence concept. A prototyped experiment trial demonstrates how awareness may be beneficial to balancing national security with personal privacy.","PeriodicalId":201396,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133864941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
