As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into everyday tools and systems, it brings promise and peril to cybersecurity and personal privacy. This talk explores the dual-edged nature of AI—how it is used to launch more sophisticated cyber-attacks and how it can enhance our ability to detect, defend, and educate. We’ll discuss current applications of AI in threat detection, data protection, and user training, as well as the growing need for ethical frameworks and risk-aware deployment strategies.

IEEE Solid–State Circuits Society Central Illinois Section Distinguished Lecture Abstract: Power-Efficient Short-Reach Electrical Links for the AI Era Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/bit. Speaker: Dr. Timothy (Tod) Dickson Principal Research Scientist @ IBM T.J.

We proudly present an IEEE foundation video documentary entitled: “The Bit Player“. One of Michigan’s famous sons, however not many Michiganians know about him – Indeed few know that Claude E. Shannon is also credited as the father of "Information Theory". You will learn more about him and at the same time get a refresher on the mankind changing impact Claude Elmwood Shannon made on the world today. This documentary was made in 2018 and brought to you by the (https://www.ieeefoundation.org/) who partially funded this along with the (https://www.itsoc.org/) The trailer for this 90-minute video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3OldEtfBrE&authuser=0 AFTER the movie - we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! :-) Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too. We are celebrating this on the occasion of Shannon's birthday (April 30th, 1916).
