According
to
Turpin,
some of these projects are
in coordination with NASA,
adding the two organizations
hope to have astronauts on the
moon by 2024.
“Now Boeing is taking a
unique approach,” Turpin said.
“Because we build the Space
Launch System, we’re building
so much capability into our
rockets, and we’re taking five
steps to learn (from our past
flights) so we can shorten our
path … We want to be (on the
moon in) about 2024.”
Turpin also discussed the
company’s mission of closing
the
global
digital
divide,
noting the disparities between
developed
and
developing
countries
regarding
their
access
to
computing
and
information resources such as
the internet.
Turpin
noted
Boeing
is
making efforts to bring this
kind of technology and other
digital
opportunities
to
countries that may need them.
“It’s
not
just
about
communicating
across
transoceanic
distances,
but
it’s about bringing the world
together
and
closing
the
digital divide,” Turpin shared.
Turpin
said
he
feels
passionate
about
Boeing’s
humanitarian work because
it helps people find water
supplies and other life-saving
resources.
“Having a solar-powered
terminal in regions where
the internet has never existed
has completely changed the
dynamic of the region,” Turpin
said. “Things like where to find
water, and other humanitarian
needs,
situations
where
you
lost
communication
or
infrastructure,
natural
disasters like in Puerto Rico.
Whenever
this
happens
around
the
world,
this
class of satellites is able to
be repositioned to support
services for those who need
them.”
Layla Allen, a student at
Davis
Aerospace
Technical
High School, said she enjoyed
learning about the company
from an actual employee who
works there.
“It was very informational,”
Allen said. “I liked having
someone
from
the
actual
company come and give us
information because it made it
seem more factual rather than
somebody
just
interpreting
something straight from the
internet.”
Similarly,
Engineering
sophomore
Edward
Tang
said he felt the lecture was
insightful
and
gave
him
information about the future
of a field he would like to
pursue.
“He
definitely
offered
insight on the industry as an
industry expert that’s been
there for 20 years, challenges
that you might face in a pretty
homogenized
engineering
field such as aerospace and
also pretty good insight on
where the future of aerospace
engineering, as a whole, is
heading towards, which is the
industry that I will be working
in, in the next 20 years,” Tang
said.
Mihalcea
asked
Wellman
how the trading systems will be
regulated and if they have any
human involvement to make sure
they adhere to the law. Wellman
said though there are laws in
place, there are no audit systems
to make sure these systems are
behaving in a legal manner.
Therefore, he said algorithms
may still be able to find loopholes.
“Certainly in regulated areas,
including
markets
or
credit
and
lending,
decisions
made
by algorithms are still subject
under the law,” Wellman said.
“The laws are written under
the presumption that people
are
making
decisions.
We
lack, I’m afraid, thoughtfully
designed audit systems and other
regulatory ways ensuring that
we really do understand how
decisions are made.”
For
the
remaining
time,
the audience asked Wellman
questions. One individual asked
what the future of AI will look
like when it comes to people
searching for jobs. Wellman said
he believes people will still be
able to find jobs in the market,
though AI will play a larger part
in trading in the future.
“The
substrate
of
trading
will be algorithmic and people
will be involved in tweaking the
strategies and coming up with
new ideas and putting them in
there,” Wellman said. “But it’s
not going to ever revert back to
mainly manual trading.”
LSA
sophomores
Madison
Caldwell and Reagan Miller are
computer science majors with
an interest in AI. Miller said he
thought this event would help
further his knowledge as he
progresses in his academic career.
“I haven’t been to one of these
before, it’s definitely a first time,”
he said. “We’re both sophomores
so we’re kind of getting out there
right about now, especially since
we are getting more into the
upper-level classes. It’s cool to see
some of the things that are going
to be happening and impacting us
in general.”
Caldwell said she thought the
event was especially interesting
because it offered a real-world
perspective on AI.
“It was interesting to see it from
a community perspective instead
of just a classroom setting,” she
said. “I feel like people bring
different perspectives and some
of the questions that people asked
I would never have thought of.”

One of these resources is
the Opportunity Hub, which
returned back to its original
location on the first floor from
the
second
floor
following
renovations.
Jessica
St.
George,
information
services
coordinator at the Opportunity
Hub,
helped
with
the
tabling and trivia game the
Hub
provided
during
the
Homewarming Party.
“I think it’s going to make a
huge impact on how we serve
the community because we’re
the central point in a public
space now,” St. George said.
“It’s going to be important for
us to be very visible to students
and also to learn more about
what the students want and
what they need as they come
through and experience the
new space.”
According
to
Curzan,
the
theme
of
the
event
“Homewarming” came from
this idea that the LSA building
would serve as a home for the
college moving forward.
“We knew that we wanted
the event to be fun and to
feel really welcoming for all
LSA students because we see
this as the new home for LSA
students,” Curzan said. “We
want students to feel like this
is a home base for them, so we
designed this to have games
and comfort food and to make
this feel like a homewarming
party.”
LSA
freshman
Regan
Monnett attended the event to
take advantage of some of these
free giveaways. Monnett said
she usually goes to the Shapiro
Undergraduate
Library
to
study, but after visiting the LSA
building, that could change.
“I definitely want to come
back here when I have stuff to
do, as a study space,” Monnett
said. “I like the modern feel of
it.”
In addition to going there to
study, Curzan said she hoped
students would also utilize the
LSA building for collaboration,
meeting friends and hanging
out.
“One of the messages that
we want to send is that this is
a college where we talk about
really important issues and we
challenge ourselves and we ask
hard questions,” Curzan said.
“We also celebrate the joy of
doing this kind of work and
the fact that we also play with
ideas, so these themes of joy
and play alongside rigor and
challenge really matter to us.”
