AI-written music has won Eurovision contests, computer-generated art is exhibited in galleries, and deep learning systems are even writing films and novels. So when it comes to creativity, do humans still have anything that machines don't? Jon Whittle speaks to experts and musicians to find out how AI can be used as a tool by artists to push creative boundaries. We'll learn the difference between how babies learn versus AI and ask whether AI should have legal rights as an inventor. Everyday AI is a CSIRO podcast. This episode features composer Justin Shave from Uncanny Valley, writer and musician Claire L. Evans, Alison Gopnik, Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley and Toby Walsh, a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Johanna interviews Luli Adeyemo, Director of TechDiversity and Founder of marketing firm Best Case Scenario. Prompted by Luli's piece in InnovationAus calling for a wider review of diversity in tech than announced recently by the Australian government, the pair canvass why diversity matters, why we haven't achieved as much progress as we hoped in the last decade, and how the tech sector can embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In the history of computers and the internet, a few names likely come to mind: Alan Turing, Tim Berners-Lee, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Undoubtedly, these men's contributions to computer sciences have shaped much of our modern life. In the case of Jobs and Gates, their financial success shifted the landscape of software development and the metrics of success in Silicon Valley. Some sectors of the industry, such as programming, hypertext and databases, had been dominated by women in the early days, but once those areas became economic drivers, men flooded in, pushing aside the women. In the process, many of their contributions have been overlooked.In this episode of Big Tech, host Taylor Owen speaks with Claire L. Evans, a musician, internet historian and author of Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet. Evans's book chronicles the work of women involved in creating the internet but left out of its history. Owen and Evans reflect on several important milestones of the early internet where women were innovating in community building and the moderation of message boards. Evans reveals a little-known history of the early web and the women involved. One aspect that stands out is how the projects that women led focused on building trust with users and the production of knowledge rather than the technical specifications of microprocessors or memory storage. Today, in the face of online harms, misinformation, failing institutional trust and content moderation challenges, there is a great deal we can learn from the work women were already doing decades ago in this space. 

Burning waste may be “greener” than dumping it in a landfill, but the process still creates a lot of air pollution. Environmental justice advocates are targeting Long Beach's incinerator. Susy Thunder was a computer hacker in 1980s Los Angeles who never got caught. Writer and musician Claire L. Evans spent a year tracking her down during the pandemic. The Underground Museum has reopened after a pandemic-induced closure, and it's featuring an exhibit by founder Noah Davis. The space is a community hub with a book shop, garden, and events.

The year is 1995. The internet starts going mainstream and the dot-com bubble begins its rapid inflation. But 10 years before all of this, a small team of systems administrators made a seemingly simple decision that would turn out to have a monumental impact on these events and would set the course of the internet for the foreseeable future. Dr. W. Joseph Campbell sets the stage for our season on the internet in 1995. Claire L. Evans explains how hard it was to find anything on the early internet. One team was charged with compiling that information in the early days of the ARPANET. Elizabeth “Jake” Feinler recounts being the internet’s sole librarian in those early days, and how she helped come up with the rules for future domain names. Paul Mockapetris describes designing the domain name system they later implemented as the internet went from a public network to a private business. And Ben Tarnoff explains the results of that increasingly privatized internet.If you want to read up on some of our research on the domain name system (DNS), you can check out all our bonus material over at redhat.com/commandlineheroes. Follow along with the episode transcript.

I have been listening to science audio books with my son (7yo) who has really been enjoying them. So far we have listened to the Future of Humanity by Michio Kaku, Astrophysics For Young People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson, and we are currently listening to The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs. Anything else you can recommend? All the bonus points if it deals with robots, space, or is any way speculative. Thanks! -Riad 2. Hello. I promise this isn’t just a word problem in disguise, although it sort of feels that way! I used to have a very long commute to work (over an hour each way), which I made more bearable by listening to non-fiction audiobooks. I now have a much, much shorter commute but miss listening to audiobooks. I use my local library’s app, which allows audiobooks to be checked out for two weeks. Since I’m listening for less than an hour a day, I often can’t finish the books that I borrow in time. Can you recommend some great non-fiction that is around 10 hours long? I really enjoy Oliver Sachs, Mary Roach, Michael Pollan, Bee Wilson, Bill Bryson, and Brene Brown and have already listened to everything by these authors that is available. My favorite topics are social science, psychology, the natural world, and food/cooking. I generally don’t enjoy celebrity memoirs, self-help, and am firmly disinterested in sports. Thank you so much for all of your awesome weekly recommendations-I’ve discovered so many new favorites because of your podcast!  -Brenna 3. Hello! I am writing to you in the hopes that you can point me in the right direction. I was recently surprised when I noticed two books on different topics I was reading started to converge. One book is Bregman’s “Humankind: A Hopeful History” and the other is McGonigal’s “The Joy of Movement”. Despite their apparently dissimilar topics (social psychology and exercise), somehow, these two books converged on the ideas that humans are built for connection and cooperation. And suddenly I know I need more of that. I want more of humans building relationships and working towards common goals. I’ve already read Smith’s “The Power of Meaning” and have Ter Kuile’s “The Power of Ritual” on hold at the library. What else can you recommend? Fiction and non-fiction are both OK. TIA. -Lisa 4. I am 35 years old and single and have recently decided to explore the world of on-line dating…bad idea. No need for details of bad experience but it has created a need in me for a good female powered memoir preferably with focus on body image. I have read a lot of the popular ones already such as the beauty myth, body positive power, the body is not an apology, Men Explain Things to Me, and books by Lindy West, Roxane Gay, Samantha Irby, and Jes Baker. I also just purchased Body Talk and have been reading an essay every morning. Any help with finding a good female strong and feel good book would be greatly appreciated. I love your podcast and thank you!! -Noelle 5. Hi, I always thought I was straight but recently I’ve been feeling more attraction towards women/enbys. I am in a long term relationship with a man whom I love and adore and don’t see that ending anytime soon. Basically, I’m struggling with my sexuality and have no good outlet to explore that now. Books have always been the thing I turn to when I’m trying to process important things. Please recommend adult books (preferably one fiction and one non-fiction) that center on wlw relationships and coming to terms with your sexuality. Bonus points for bi/pan rep or enby rep and bonus points for an older character (not a teen). I love contemporary and literary fiction but would be open to an sff. I have not been loving historical recently.  -JJ 6. I’m a Computer Science teacher in Mexico City. I have been teaching high school students about the science behind the magic of technology for about fifteen years. Also, I’m an avid reader and I believe in the power of books in my students’ academic lives. I’m always looking for books about Computer Science or the history of computers to assign them as extra activities for my class (some students prefer reading books instead of coding, and that’s fine with me as long as they learn). Books in English are not a problem since, although we are a Spanish-speaking country, I work at a bilingual school and they understand English perfectly. We have read books like “The Code Book” by Simon Singh, “The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage” a beautiful graphic novel by Sydney Padua, “Broad Band” by Claire L. Evans, “The Inevitable” by Kevin Kelly, “The Second Machine Age” by Erik Brynjolfsson, “Code Girls” by Liza Mundy, “Zero Day” by Mark Russinovich, and “Life 3.0” by Max Tegmark. I would love to know if you have any recommendations my students and for me. Of course, there are extra points for books about women in tech and the power of diversity and inclusion, since we all need those messages every single day in our current world.  -Rodrigo 7. My mom has begun seeking therapy for chronic depression that I suspect has been with her for a while now. I’m glad she’s seeking professional help, but I also wanted to get her a book to help lift her up a bit. From what she’s confided in me, some of what is contributing to her depression is that a lot of her identity is tied up in feeling needed/useful as a mom. Now that both her daughters are grown, she thinks we don’t need her anymore (entirely untrue, of course) and that she’s not useful as a person. I’m wondering if there are any books out there about older women finding renewed sense of self or dealing with similar issues that she can see herself in. I’m hoping for something uplifting. She also has triggers around harm to children and sexual violence, so if those topics could be avoided, that would be great. Thanks! -Worried Daughter Books Discussed Packing for Mars by Mary Roach (Gulp, Spook, or Grunt) Scatter, Adapt, and Remember by Annalee Newitz Make it Scream, Make it Burn by Leslie Jamison (9 hours 3 minutes) Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars by Kate Greene (6 hrs 7 min) How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong Northern Light by Kazim Ali (cw: discussion of suicide) Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud by Anne Helen Petersen #VeryFat #VeryBrave by Nicole Byer The Fixed Stars by Molly Wizenberg The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waite Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change by Ellen Pao Algorithms of Oppression by Safiya Umoja Noble Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb Book Club When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams, (cw: attempted assault) 10 Mystery and Thriller Books Starring Older Women Books With Female Protagonists Over 60 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday was Ada Lovelace Day, founded in 2009 to celebrate the contributions of women in STEM.  Claire L. Evans, former futures editor of Motherboard author of the book Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet  joins us to discuss Lovelace and other women who shaped STEM history.    

Claire L. Evans describes the pioneering women who brought the internet to life. Jason Fagone tells the story of an unsung hero and code-breaking genius.

Last week, we discussed her parents' terrible marriage. This week, we're discussing the actual life of Ada Byron Lovelace! We divided the episode into two parts: In the first, we discuss Ada's enduring contributions to the history of computer science. In the second, we discuss how her parents's shitshow of a marriage traumatized her mother so badly that she emotionally and financially abused Ada well into adulthood. Uplifting!

The first in a two part series about Ada Byron Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer! This introductory episode deals with the story of Ada's parents: Lord George Gordon Byron, famed poet and noted chaos gremlin, and Anne Isabella Milbanke, a normal human being. Over the course of almost two hours (sorry, everyone), we'll discuss the dangers of internet dating in the 19th century, why you CAN love your sister too much, and how the greatest crime any woman can commit is being a buzzkill. Pandemic warning: You can hear Clare's husband doing something in the kitchen towards the very end of the episode. It's annoying, it cannot be scrubbed from the audio, and he's barely sorry for your pain. C'est la vie. Sources: Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet, by Claire L.

We speak with Claire Evans and Jona Becholt of YACHT, Young Americans Challenging High Technology, about their use of tech to produce albums and performances that push the boundaries of how music is experienced, produced, delivered, and more. Such projects include their Grammy-nominated album Chain Tripping created with the assistance of AI. In this episode, we speak with YACHT about the creative process to produce Chain Tripping, address misconceptions around their use of AI, YACHT's origin story, and Evans' recently published book, Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet.-About YACHT-YACHT stands for Young Americans Challenging High Technology, but they're neither young nor all-American. YACHT is three people—Jona Becholt, Claire L. Evans, and Rob Kieswetter—working in Los Angeles, California, asking questions and answering them with records, texts, videos, objects, installations, scores and performances. They make as much as possible with as little as possible and learn by doing.Chain Tripping is their Grammy-nominated seventh album, composed by running their 18-year back catalogue through a scotch taped-together assortment of machine learning models and then reckoning with the results.

In past episodes, we’ve interviewed other members of the Leading Lines podcast producer team: John Sloop, Melissa Mallon, former producer Ole Molvig, and Derek Bruff. We continue that trend in this episode with an interview with Cliff Anderson, associate university librarian for research and digital initiatives here at Vanderbilt and another Leading Lines producer. Cliff has been teaching a new course called “The Beauty and Joy of Computing” for a few semesters now. It’s an introduction to computer science and computational thinking aimed at students who aren’t majoring in computer science. This semester, another Leading Lines producer, Gayathri Narasimham, research assistant professor in electrical engineering and computer science, has started teaching it. Gayathri thought it would be interesting to interview Cliff about his experiences designing and teaching the course. We are excited to present their conversation here on Leading Lines. In the course, Cliff and Gayathri use NetsBlox as their programming language. It’s a blocks-based language, like Scratch or Snap, designed to teach computing concepts visually without having to work through lines of code. Here, Cliff discusses the pros and cons of this approach to teaching computer science, and he shares a little about his interdisciplinary background as a scholar of religion turned librarian turned technologist.

Holy Grammys! Tiny Giant Jams returns with a right humdinger - an interview with Claire L. Evans of US electro-pop pioneers YACHT. They created their 2019 album Chain Tripping using machine learning, neural networks, old tracks and collaborations aplenty with AI luminaries such as Mario Klingemann, Cristobal Valenzula, Tom White and Ross Goodwin. The end result: an AI-human-powered album of effortless craft and awesomeness. Claire talks us through the origins of the album, the techniques YACHT used and what the future might hold for a band who always dare to take risks. Enjoy!

Claire L Evans's challenges the assumption that the history of computing is a story of men and their machines.

Until 1984, computer science in the US was full of women mathematicians and programmers, and then it all changed. What happened? Claire L. Evans, author of the book, Broad Band: The Untold Story of Women Who Made the Internet, tells a story that hadn't been told before of the many women who helped found and formed the internet-- women like Ada Lovelace, the original mother of computing, and Dame Wendy Hall, who invented a new system of hypertext that could have changed the way the World Wide Web functions. Host: Clara Young Producer: Robin Allison Davis

Writer and musician Claire L. Evans talks with Neon Moiré’s Thomas Dahm about her book, Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women who Made the Internet; her relationship with the Internet; music and the relation to science fiction; the 5 Every Day app and why Los Angels is the most interesting city at the moment.

Anyone who’s seen AMC’s series Halt and Catch Fire knows the importance of representation. Two out of four main characters are female tech pioneers in the early 80s. Claire L. Evans’ book Broadband traces the real story of women behind the solitary geniuses of history, who tend to be men. What if unique solutions and social networks like Microcosm or Echo (both created by women) had received the same attention and capital that e.g. the WWW got in the early 90s? In her talk Evans explores the untravelled paths of history to balance the narrative and to show us the radically different now we could have lived in. Outreach, representation and care – what if all those things were taken into account when designing and coding solutions? Care, especially is a word we don’t hear a lot anymore. But if we’re going to survive the future and its challenges, we need all the help we can get. Which means we need to see more non-males represented in the tech industry.

Donald Trump linked the recent US shootings to violent video games....we explore that old bogeyman again. Why do websites end with .com? And meet some of the little known women who brought you the internet. Guests: Alex McCauley, CEO StartupAUS @alexmccauley Rae Johnston, Editor Junkee @raejohnston and Claire L. Evans, author of Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet

The average life expectancy in the United States is about 78 years. But what if it were 120 years? Or 300 years? Can technology really improve our bodies to increase our longevity? We begin by hearing from Josiah Zayner, a bio-hacker who took his gut health into his own hands. Then, host Claire L. Evans talks with transhumanist researcher Natasha Vita-More about how living longer might change the way we live our lives right now, and how it could affect our society for generations to come.

In the age of “going viral,” 15 minutes of fame takes on a whole new meaning. What happens when people go viral? And what happens when that fame turns ugly? Host Claire L. Evans talks with Brianna Wu about the harrowing story of Gamergate, how it changed her relationship with the internet, and where she is now.

Digital assistants have become a normal, but not necessarily seamless, part of our lives. In this episode of YOU, host Claire L. Evans and Lillian Rincon, who leads the team developing Google Assistant, dig into what our growing relationship with digital assistants says about who we are and how we relate to one another.

Is virtual reality the ultimate escape? Done right, could it completely convince the user that they are in an entirely different place—or even an entirely different person? In this episode we explore how virtual reality is challenging our notions of who we are. Alvaro Morales, co-founder of the Reunions Project, uses VR to connect families across continents. Then, host Claire L. Evans talks with Unity Labs’ Timoni West about how VR isn’t just an escape: It could actually help make our reality better.

When it comes to technology, the United States government has a reputation for lagging behind the private sector. But in a time when technology runs our lives, the real question is whether the government can use it to be more transparent and connected to the public. First, we hear from Anna Piperal about e-Estonia, the most advanced digital society in the world. Then host Claire L. Evans talks with Jennifer Pahlka, founder of Code For America, on how the government can better harness technology to serve a tech-hungry population.

This week on YOU, host Claire L. Evans digs into blockchain, this trendy new thing everyone seems to be talking about—but that no one really seems to understand. Our guest Saya Iwasaki of Bitski talks about the mysterious origins of blockchain; how it’s being used to protect our money, our information, our art, and our identities; and its potential to change the entire internet—and possibly the world—forever. Artist Mitchell Chan explores the uses and philosophy of blockchain in conceptual art, and Grayson Earle and Maya Binyam talk about using blockchain to make bail.

Family has always been a touchstone of identity, but how has technology changed our idea of who we consider our family? We now have the ability to communicate with our family in more ways than ever before. In this episode, host Claire L. Evans talks with Chris Mikkelsen of Refunite about how refugees are finding their way back to their families, and Wendy and Ryan Kramer, the mother and son co-founders of the Donor Sibling Registry, who are using technology to challenge traditional notions of what family means.

So many people are searching for love, and dating apps are one of the most popular ways to find it. How can looking at the ways people date online reveal more about what we want and who we are? In the first episode of YOU, host Claire L. Evans talks with app developer Justin Long about how he hacked Tinder, photo editor Kelly Rakowski revamps old school personal ads for the modern age on Instagram, and Bumble’s former in-house sociologist Jess Carbino reveals how much dating has changed over the years—and how it hasn’t.

Welcome to YOU, a podcast about the intersection of technology, humanity, and identity, brought to you by Okta. Each episode, host Claire L. Evans speaks with renowned experts in the fields of science, technology, art, philosophy, and design about how tech is changing the way we see ourselves, each other, and the world. Together, we’ll explore the many facets of identity: how we quantify ourselves, find love and belonging, engage as citizens, and so much more.

Claire L. Evans is a LA-based writer, musician and the author of Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet. She's also one of the most eloquent, articulate and witty people we've met to reflect on the state of the Internet today. In our talk, we covered how Claire met the women who built the internet, how they translated traditional communication formats to the digital world, and what we can learn from early virtual communities about power dynamics, politics and gender bias today.

Historien om internettets skabelse er altid en historie om mandlige alpha-nørder i en garage, som kæmper længe for deres rigdom og berømmelse. Men hvor er kvinderne? Der var nemlig masser af kvinder i den historie. Den amerikanske forfatter og rockmusiker Claire Evans fortæller de glemte kvinders historie i bogen "Broadband", hvor hun har støvet en række fascinerende historier om kvindelige computernørder op. Techtopia sætter fokus på kvinder i teknologi i anledning af kvindernes internationale kampdag d. 8. marts. Derfor kan du også møde Lisa Deluca fra IBM, som ikke er glemt men yderst aktiv. I en alder af kun 35 har hun allerede en kometkarriere og et alenlangt CV, som en af techbranchens mest erfarne, yngre kvinder. Hun er bl.a. en af IBM's mest produktive kvindelige opfinder nogensinde med mere end 600 patentansøgninger til dato på verdensplan - 400 er godkendt. Medvirkende: Claire L.

Det er godt at eje, men det er endnu bedre at dele. Det er der i hvert fald mange, der mener - især når det handler om software, hvor open source jo har været et kæmpe fænomen i mange tiår. Faktisk ligger selve internettet på servere, som overvejende kører open source software. Men i de senere år er der mange som også er begyndt at se på, om og hvordan man laver open source når det gælder fysiske ting og ikke “bare” digitale produkter. Christian Villum fra Dansk Design Center er gæst i denne episode for at fortælle meget om open source og ikke mindst om REMODEL-programmet på DDC, der er “et program for produktionsvirksomheder, der ønsker at udforske hvordan open source-principper kan udvikle nye økonomisk bæredygtige forretningsmodeller i produktionen af fysiske produkter – uden at miste konkurrenceevne.” Links Dansk Design Center REMODEL-programmet på DDC - firmaer lærer om open source hardware B&Os BeoCreate - open source-print skal få gamle højttalere op i nutiden Tips Anders: Ologies podcast med Alie Ward Jeppe: Claire L.

How did cyberpunks and activists affect the tech industry? Do we understand the history of the internet? How much of what we know comes only from a man’s perspective? This week, Claire L. Evans tells us about her new book, Broad Band, and the women who created the internet. Photo by Jaclyn Campanaro There Were Women In The Room: This week Paul Ford and Gina Trapani sit down with Claire L. Evans to chat about her new book, Broad Band: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet. We discuss the impact of online communities, how weird the dot-com era was, and the stories of the women who made things work. We also get a window into Y△CHT’s future project — the Broad Band Musical! 2:29 — Claire: “[This book is] a corrective if you will, of all the books we’ve all read and love about Silicon Valley, and the garage-to-riches stories of entrepreneurship… These are the stories about the women who were in the room the whole time, and nobody asked about them.” 5:06 — Paul: “Women get forgotten from activist histories too, and it was kind of an activist scene in the early days.”  5:22 — Gina: “Weird was welcome, in a way that is no longer the case.” 7:03 — Claire: “My big takeaway is how little we value long-term care and maintenance when it comes to building things… I profile Stacy Horn, who founded Echo BBS in the late 90s. It still exists. And she has devoted 25 years of her life to fostering and caring for this community. … She’s taking care of something, because she’s responsible for a community, and I think that’s really beautiful.” 8:24— Claire: “We mythologize the box, but it’s the users that change the world; it’s what you do with it. The culture work, the development of making things worth linking is almost as important as making the conventions for linking.  8:24 — Gina: “It’s broadening the definition of what making the web was. It wasn’t just about standardizing protocols and running code, it was about building the places where people wanted to come and connect and share.”  9:07— Paul: “Moderation…it’s critical, it’s key to these communities but it doesn’t get as much appreciation as ‘I wrote a page of code.’” 20:51 — Claire: “We’re all very siloed in the contemporary media landscape.” A full transcript for this episode is available.

Today’s guest is a bit of a Jack (Jill?) of all trades. Claire L. Evans is a writer, musician, and life-long tech nerd. She’s the author of Broad Band, a book that talks about the women visionaries and technology experts who helped shape the internet. Join for a fascinating discussion on women, history, and computers. […] The post Episode 46: (Broad) Band of Sisters appeared first on Beyond the Microscope.

If you loved Hidden Figures or Rise of the Rocket Girls, you'll love Claire Evans' breakthrough book on the women who brought you the internet--written out of history, until now. The history of technology you probably know is one of men and machines, garages and riches, alpha nerds and “brogrammers.” But female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation—they’ve just been erased from the story. Until now. In fact, women turn up at the very beginning of every important wave in technology. They may have been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize, but they have always been part of the story. VICE reporter and YACHT lead singer Claire L. Evans finally gives these unsung female heroes their due with her insightful social history of the “Broad Band”, the women who made the internet what it is today.

Claire L. Evans has discovered the solution to our social media woes: “Go back to BBS.” She means bulletin board systems, those grunge-era digital hangouts, like the Well and Echo, where users linked up based on mutual interests and supported one another. (So civilized.) Earlier this year, Evans even installed BBS server software on her Raspberry Pi to test her theory. “That kind of small-scale, self-­policed social media could serve as a balm to us all,” she says.

This week, Alice and Kim discuss Idaho extremists, the women who made the internet, and how closely you should identify with Lord Byron (among other things).

Claire Evans is the author of the new book: Broad Band The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet. This is the best tech history book I’ve read in a while and you know I read them all. Of special note, considering our 90s-heavy focus on this podcast, the book includes the stories of Word.com, which was a competitor to Feed.com (which we’ve previously covered) and Women.com which was a competitor to Ivillage (which, again, we’ve spoke at length about). But you also get an amazing portair of tech in the 1970s, hypertext as a movement outside of the web, and stories about amazing women like Grace Hopper and Jake Feinler.Buy it today!
