SUMMARY:BCS Colloquium Series: Michael Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title:\nGenerative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior \nAbstract:\nBelievable proxies of human attitudes and behavior can empower applications ranging from immersive environments to social policy interventions. However\, the last quarter century has seen a slow recession of human behavioral simulation as a method\, in part because traditional simulations have been unable to capture the complexity and contingency of human behavior. I argue that modern artificial intelligence models allow us to re-examine this limitation. I make my case through generative agents: computational software agents that simulate believable human behavior. Generative agents enable us to populate an interactive sandbox environment inspired by The Sims\, where end users can interact with a small town of twenty five agents using natural language. Our generative agent architecture empowers agents to remember\, reflect\, and plan — enabling them to wake up\, cook breakfast\, and head to work; artists paint\, while authors write; they form opinions\, notice each other\, and initiate conversations; they remember and reflect on days past as they plan the next day. Extending this line of argument\, I explore how proxying human behavior and attitudes can help us design more effective online social spaces\, understand the societal disagreement underlying modern AI models\, and better embed societal values into our algorithms. \nBio:\nMichael Bernstein is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University\, where he is a Bass University Fellow and STMicroelectronics Faculty Scholar. His research in human-computer interaction focuses on the design of social computing systems. This research has won best paper awards at top conferences in human-computer interaction\, including CHI\, CSCW\, ICWSM\, and UIST\, and has been reported in venues such as The New York Times\, Science\, Wired\, and The Guardian. Michael has been recognized with an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship\, UIST Lasting Impact Award\, and the Patrick J. McGovern Tech for Humanity Prize. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University\, as well as a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT. \nThis talk is followed by an hour reception with appetizers and beverages in the Building 46 3rd floor atrium. \nThis talk is also available by zoom webinar.

Jude Samulksi\, PhD\nThe MGB Gene and Cell Therapy Institute is pleased to announce that President\, Chief Scientific Officer\, and Co-Founder of AskBio\, R. Jude Samulksi\, PhD will be one of the keynote speakers at the MGB Gene and Cell Therapy Research Symposium. \nDr. Samulski is a world-renowned figure in gene therapy. He earned his Ph.D. in medical microbiology and immunology from the University of Florida\, pioneering the use of AAV2 as a viral vector during his graduate years. This groundbreaking work led to the first FDA-approved gene therapy for Leber Congenital Amaurosis. Following post-doctoral training at Princeton\, he continued his impactful research at the University of Pittsburgh\, achieving the first use of AAV for gene delivery to the Central Nervous System\, ultimately contributing to treatments for Canavan’s disease. \nIn 1993\, he embarked on a transformative journey at the University of North Carolina\, where he founded and led the UNC Gene Therapy Center for 25 years. During this time\, he made significant contributions\, including the development of self-complementary AAV vectors and chimeric AAV capsids for gene therapy. \nDr. Samulski has dedicated four decades to AAV research\, with notable achievements in the treatment of rare disorders. He co-founded Bamboo Therapeutics\, later acquired by Pfizer\, where he played a pivotal role in advancing gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He also co-founded AskBio which is advancing gene therapy on all fronts for millions of patients. Dr. Samulski’s impact extends beyond the lab\, as he has advised the FDA and received recognition from the American Society of Cell and Gene Therapy. His mission continues at the Columbus Children’s Foundation\, focusing on AAV gene therapies for ultra-rare disorders. He holds numerous patents and has published over 350 articles in the field. Currently\, he serves as a professor at UNC and remains at the forefront of gene therapy advancements. \nRegister now to attend the symposium and learn more from Dr. Samulski’s keynote address.
