Don't Miss It!

Showing the scope and urgency of Purdue's Ideas Festival, the four-event CATV Ethics & Policy Workshop will probe ethical, legal and societal implications of connected and autonomous transportation vehicles, or CATV, focusing first on "Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Privacy." The workshop series is part of "Giant Leaps in Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, and Automation: Balancing Humanity and Technology," one of the four themes of the Ideas Festival -- the centerpiece of the Giant Leaps Sesquicentennial Campaign.
