A3 Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
We allow AI to curate our music and movie playlists, answer our questions and translate foreign languages, and even drive our cars: in the past few years a broad range of AI applications have become so ubiquitous we can’t imagine everyday life without them. AI has allowed us to visualize how we will look when we get old and add funny headpieces to our selfies, but also to fight cyberbullying and diagnose cancer in its early stages. However, AI can also discriminate against underrepresented groups, or become a tool of propaganda and warfare. After many decades of baby steps towards Alan Turing’s vision of an intelligent machine, we are now experiencing an extraordinary growth with no signs of stopping. Our efforts to make machines intelligent raise several ethical questions that go beyond the design of the underlying algorithms and technologies.
In this panel, we will discuss the ethical aspects of AI, from the models and algorithms (bias, fairness, explainability, transparency, etc.), to the end outcomes (safety, privacy, malicious use, control, etc.), and finally the impact AI has on humans (automation, impact to democracy, human interaction, etc.)

A4 Robotics, Medical Devices and Diagnostics
Robots have been applied in healthcare and medical diagnosis for over a decade. Examples include surgeon assistants da Vinci, rehabilitation robots Lokomat, and disease analyzer using artificial intelligence (AI) InData Lab. One of the first steps towards healthcare is diagnosis. Disease detection can be challenging and time-consuming, every minute counts when a dangerous infection strikes. Right diagnosis with right care is the key to speedy recovery. Ms. Sree Rajeswari from Cepheid will talk about how to make diagnostics faster, more accurate, and available in remote areas. Ms. Neeta Mhatre from Intuitive Surgical will share her first-hand experience on how da Vinci® surgical system and the Ion™ endoluminal system were developed, manufactured and marketed with a deep understanding of surgical needs, smart systems/instruments, and actionable digital insights. Finally, Ms. Amanda Abiera from Shockwave Medical will present Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) that creates pulsatile sonic pressure waves to safely modify cardiovascular calcium.

B4 Diagnostics and Medicine
For most of the 20th century, all patients with the same disorder received similar treatment. Therapy has since become more individualized: the same disorder is now being divided into subtypes and treated accordingly. This march toward personalized, or precision, medicine for many disorders is being hastened by advances in diagnostic tools. These technologies can help physicians detect and quantify multiple biomarkers (molecules that signal the presence of a disorder) to divide patients into subgroups that differ in their susceptibility to a disease, prognosis or likelihood of responding to a specific treatment. This session will focus on the development of new diagnostic tools and treatment methods in academia and in industry.

Title Sponsor
Mark and Carolyn Guidry Women in Engineering Program Fund
Carolyn Guidry (1937-2009) was born in Mississippi and spent her childhood in the Deep South. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Louisiana State University in 1959. One week after graduation, she married Mark Guidry (1937-2020), a fellow electrical engineering major she met at LSU. Carolyn began her career at Boeing, but soon put her career on hold and devoted 20 years to raising their three children. She returned to school and earned her Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from SJSU in 1979. She joined Hewlett-Packard and was directly responsible for the development of a new flexible interconnect cable and the microcode for a new computer.
In partnership with Mark, Carolyn founded two successful companies in semiconductor design software and semiconductor product development. Both companies were later acquired and became leaders in their respective fields. After the second company was acquired by Integrated Circuit Systems in 1993, she founded the Mark and Carolyn Guidry Foundation and managed all aspects of the organization. She received an Award of Distinction from SJSU Davidson College of Engineering in 2006. Both she and Mark were inducted into the LSU College of Engineering Hall of Distinction in 2001.
Mark was a Louisiana native. After receiving his BSEE from LSU, he took a position at Boeing. He subsequently earned an MSEE from University of Washington and a Ph.D. from Iowa State University. He taught at LSU, where he conducted research in semiconductor technology, laser technology and radio wave propagation. Prior to founding their companies, Mark worked at Fairchild Semiconductor in Palo Alto, a small San Diego company and Texas Instruments in Houston.
All three of Carolyn and Mark’s children graduated with degrees in engineering. The Guidry family strongly believes in the power of education and the importance of developing engineering education in the U.S. for what lies ahead. The Mark and Carolyn Guidry Foundation has been a long-time leader in supporting women in engineering at SJSU. Its commitment and on-going support have made the Silicon Valley Women in Engineering program a model of success for educating new woman innovators regionally and nationally.
