SJ Klein
I am Samuel Klein, wikipedian, linguaphile and, hoom, inclusionist. I am currently working on platforms for community-owned publishing of research and data. In the past I worked on a national digital library, at a "purpose of the Internet" research group, directed part of a global education project, and served as a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. Currently summarizing some cross-wiki thoughts + conversations about project + community design as design chats.
Currently working on matchmaking people with ideas. My writing background consists of a few journals and newsletters, doggerel on the back of exams, broadsheets on telephone poles, philosophical essays, and marked-up drafts of [others'] texts in red and blue. My academic background includes physics, mathematics, algorithms and language. In the Wikiverse: you can find me on the English Wikipedia, and occasionally on Wikibooks, Wiktionary (see also mod-wiktionary), the OLPC wiki, and previously on some smaller language wikis (Nahuatl, Swahili) or taking collab notes on Hypothesis XXX - synchrony across annotation systems for all sorts of knowledge (e.g., via hypothes.is and open annotation).
Sessions
We'll open the day with a discussion of tailoring AI to the personal, the local, and the specific as part of the strategy for public AI. We'll talk about offline, local-first AI and how communities and individuals can meaningfully shape and harness these technologies.
Public AI means building for increased agency and shared prosperity. We'll open the day's conversations with a group discussion on balancing the benefits of open knowledge with the challenges of shared infrastructure.
We'll open the day with a discussion of how we want to relate to knowledge, intimacy, and memory. We'll talk about what must be maintained and what needs to be renegotiated as we build public AI.
