Title: Algorithms for the People

Abstract:  Algorithms have transformed every aspect of society, including
communication, transportation, commerce, finance, and health. The revolution
enabled by computing has been extraordinarily valuable. The largest tech
companies generate a trillion dollars a year and employ 1 million people.
But technology does not affect everyone in the same way. In this talk, we
will examine how new technologies affect marginalized communities and think
about what technology and academic research would look like if its goal was
to serve the disenfranchised.

 

Bio:  Seny Kamara is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Brown
University and Chief Scientist at Aroki Systems. Before joining Brown, he
was a researcher at Microsoft Research (Redmond Lab).

 

His research is in cryptography and is driven by real-world problems from
privacy, security and surveillance. He has worked extensively on the design
and cryptanalysis of encrypted search algorithms, which are efficient
algorithms to search on end-to-end encrypted data. He maintains interests in
various aspects of theory and systems, including applied and theoretical
cryptography, data structures and algorithms, databases, networking, game
theory and technology policy.

 

Seny co-directs the Encrypted Systems Lab and is affiliated with the CAPS
group, the Data Science Initiative, the Center for Human Rights and
Humanitarian Studies and the Policy Lab.
