Can AI really change the world? Or are its developing algorithms formalizing social injustice? When these highly-technical systems derive patterns from existing datasets, their models can perpetuate past mistakes.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: What is the role of technological advances in shaping society? What is the difference between Machine Learning vs. Artificial Intelligence? Social Justice Implications of Technology What are the limitations of finding patterns in previous data? How does should government regulate new, highly technical systems?

Authorities should remember that there are limits to what AI models can do. David is the co-founder of Upturn and currently a Visiting Scientist at the AI Policy and Practice Initiative in Cornell's College of Computing and Information Science.

Could certain dog foods cause heart failure? Dr. Laurie DVM, a graduate of Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine with advanced training in nutrition, talks about taurine and DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). Some breeds are predisposed to DCM but UC Davis has found a link with DCM and certain types of dog food: UC Davis article.Why should you care about taurine? What is taurine anyway? Why is it in the news right now?We talk about how you can identify if your dog's food is deficient in taurine or not. We discuss what symptoms to look out for in your pet and when to go see your veterinarian. Some symptoms include lethargy, weakness, lack of energy, and perhaps a cough. Looking for natural and fresh food with taurine? Try chicken thighs (gently cooked or raw), dark meat, or sardines (in water or salt). Dr. Coger mentioned several resources and we listed below. If you are feeding your dog a grain-free diet and you don't know the percentage of taurine in your dog's food, then this is the podcast for you.

Japan and Germany are regional pivots in the American imperium. For half a century their special position has strengthened an American imperium, which exercises its power both through traditional territorial and novel non-territorial forms of power. Was the Bush administration and its preference for unilateral forms of exercising power an aberration from a system of rule that relied on regional pivots or has it initiated a new American diplomacy to which Japan and Germany will have to adjust? Peter J. Katzenstein is the Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies at Cornell University. His research and teaching lie at the intersection of the fields of international relations and comparative politics. He is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of over 30 books and over 100 scholarly articles and book chapters addressing a broad range of economic, security and cultural issues in world politics. His most recent work has focused on Japanese security policy, regional politics, anti-Americanism, religion, and America as a civilizational imperium. Recipient of numerous awards and prizes, Katzenstein was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1988 and is currently the president-elect of the American Political Science Association. Since joining the Cornell Government Department in 1973 Katzenstein has chaired or been a member of more than one hundred dissertation committees. He received Cornell's College of Arts and Science Stephen and Margery Russell Distinguished Teaching Award in 1993, and, in recognition of sustained and distinguished undergraduate teaching, was made one of Cornell University's Stephen H.
