The 2024 Ian P. Sharp Lecture recording is now available. Watch the lecture above or on the Faculty of Information YouTube channel.
The 2024 lecturer was Beth Simone Noveck, a professor at Northeastern University where she directs the Burnes Center for Social Change and its partner project The GovLab. Her talk was titled, “From ballots to bots: AI’s transformative role in democratic societies.”
The Ian P. Sharp Lectureship was established at the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto in 1989 through a gift from I.P. Sharp Associates Ltd. (A Reuters Company). This year, the Ian P. Sharp Lectureship was hosted through a partnership between the Faculty of Information and the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society (SRI) as the closing session for Absolutely Interdisciplinary 2024, SRI’s annual academic conference.
