Step into the conversation shaping Oregon’s AI future.
Join us for Shaping Oregon’s AI Policy, a fireside chat featuring Nik Blosser, Oregon’s first Chief Privacy Officer, in dialogue with Beth Plale.
NIK BLOSSER
Nik is a central figure in Oregon’s technology and privacy landscape, and this is a rare chance to hear directly from the leader helping define how our state approaches privacy, data governance, and the public trust questions that will determine how AI is used and regulated.
BETH PLALE
Beth is the Executive Director of the University of Oregon’s School of Computer and Data Sciences. She is a computer scientist and data engineer carrying out research and education at intersection of technology and policy. Her current interests are in AI accountability, computational infrastructure, and safe and trusted artificial intelligence (AI).
This event brings together UO students, faculty and staff, and Lane County’s tech community for an insider look at what’s coming next and what it means for builders, employers, and individuals utilizing AI in their industries.
Come for the insights, stay for the connections. The evening includes dedicated time for networking, plus food and beverage is included.
Space is limited, and this event is expected to sell out. Walk-ins will not be accepted.
