Professor Prescott (and Roland), 

Greetings.

Thanks to MJ Cartwright for her edifying Matterhorn court innovations' presentation at Stanford Law's Codex today. I didn't note her email down and can't find it readily online, so I'm emailing you to say thank you, since I was able to find your email online. Matterhorn is impressive and a great development in online court innovations. Could you possibly please let her know, and give her my thanks? 

In developing a CC MIT OpenCourseWare- (in 7 languages) and Yale OYC-centric online university - wiki CC OCW World University and School (planned in all ~200 countries' main and official languages as major universities "the MITs/Harvards/Stanfords of the Web," and in all 7,097 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, emerging from CC Wikidata/Wikibase, which is CC Wikipedia's database in 358 languages) - I asked her about how the data from Matterhorn might be used in 5-10 years from now, for example, and want to follow up in email - especially with regard to teaching from this. (WUaS is planning to offer online accrediting CC OCW Bachelor, law, Ph.D., and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school degrees - again in all countries' official languages +). So, if Stanford Law School or the upcoming law schools at World University and School (planned online in all countries' main and official languages), for example, wanted to teach from them, how would you structure this at Matterhorn? And how will you structure ownership of the data questions at Matterhorn, as they unfold? Creative Commons' licensing, which is like ownership for sharing, seems like a fascinating possibility in these regards - and also like a kind of big ocean around the islands of CC organizations (or moat around similar castles even). 

As you know, I'm sure, MIT itself doesn't have a law school or medical school, so CC WUaS will have to explore partnering / collaborations in other ways than accrediting on CC MIT OCW in all of its languages for free-to-students' CC OCW Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees in multiple languages.   

I wonder what possibilities there might be for WUaS in exploring partnering or collaborating with you and MJ re online law school questions? 

Thanks to MJ and for your Matterhorn project, and looking forward to further communication about this.  

Sincerely, 
Scott

Dear Professor Karanasiou (and Roland), 

(Greetings Professor Pinotsis).

Thank you for your timely and topical presentation today. While I don't follow closely the questions you addressed today, here's the article I mentioned - 

"Why This Robot Ethicist Trusts Technology More Than Humans: 
MIT’s Kate Darling, who writes the rules of human-robot interaction, says an AI-enabled apocalypse should be the least of our concerns."

https://magenta.as/why-this-robot-ethicist-trusts-technology-more-than-humans-8969d0b5f0a0#.7zzkfn2m1



Do you know Kate Darling @grok_ at MIT in Cambridge, Professor Pinotsis, by any chance? 

In developing a CC MIT OpenCourseWare- (in 7 languages ... https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ ...  and Yale OYC-centric online university - wiki CC OCW World University and School (planned in all ~200 countries' main and official languages as major universities "the MITs/Harvards/Stanfords of the Web," and in all 7,097 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, emerging from CC Wikidata/Wikibase, which is CC Wikipedia's database in 358 languages) - I wonder about how some of the questions you're asking would be nation state specific - and in particular with regard to England and Greece. (WUaS is planning to offer online accrediting CC OCW Bachelor, law, Ph.D., and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school degrees - again in all countries' official languages +). 

Something like Creative Commons' licensing of data, which is like ownership for sharing, seems like a fascinating possibility to address the questions you're asking, Professor Karanasiou,  - and also like a kind of big ocean around the islands of CC organizations (or moat around similar castles even). 

As you know, I'm sure, MIT - e.g. https://ocw.mit.edu/ - itself doesn't have a law school or medical school, so CC WUaS will have to explore partnering / collaborations in other ways than accrediting on CC MIT OCW in all of its languages for free-to-students' CC OCW Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees in multiple languages, for our online law schools - and at Greece World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Greece (WUaS is moving to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata/Wikibase fairly soon) - and planned in Greek.   

I wonder what possibilities there might be for WUaS to explore collaborating with you re online law school questions and Greece WUaS - per the provocative questions you're asking, raising and addressing? 

Thanks for your great research, and looking forward to further communication about this.  

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Dr MacLeod,
Thanks for the kind email. I have not thought about OCW but if you have any ideas about AI / neuroscience and public engagement I would be happy if you could share them with me.
I haven't crossed paths with Kate yet.
Best wishes

Dear Scott, Dear All


Thank you for reaching out - I guess the approach taken so far with Deep Learning highlights some purely legal aspects that -although bond well with philosophy- are also somewhat different to ethics, as such. I have met briefly with Kate Darling, during my sabbatical earlier this year and her work is indeed interesting, mostly from a sociological point of view.

That said, your project sounds fascinating and definitely something worth pursuing further collaboration - would you consider using GNMT in this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Neural_Machine_Translation)? I have already worked with Harvard for their CopyrightX MOOC and this has been a very rewarding experience (although, English has been the main language used in taught sessions, exams and feedback). Happy to discuss further - not an expert on AI and education, but certainly an area that will gain traction in the years to come.


Kind regards,

Argyro

Dear Dmitiris (and Argyro and Roland), 

Thanks too for your email, Dmitiris. 

In brief, I think developing a wiki CC MIT OpenCourseWare- (in its 7 languages+), and Yale OYC-centric, World University and School in all ~200 countries' main and official languages, each a major online university, as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,097 living languages, with courses about public engagement would be the beginning of what you ask about. 

CC OCW WUaS plans to emerge soon out of Wikidata / Wikibase which is Wikipedia's database for structured knowledge (and data for AI / machine learning / and machine translation) in its 358 languages. And WUaS plans to matriculate our first prospective undergraduate student online this autumn for a free CC OpenCourseWare undergraduate degree. 

Part of this WUaS process would involve WUaS's plans to develop a WUaS universal translator in all 7,097 languages (per Ethnologue's - and conceptually building on Google Translate in its 103 languages) - for an Academic Press at WUaS and with machine translation - and also to study all these languages, and the brain via neuroscience itself, and together.

Another part of this process is to develop a realistic virtual earth for STEM research and as a "classroom" - conceptually like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with Time Slider with OpenSim/SL for group build-ability and avatars, and in all 8k languages, and also at the cellular and atomic levels. For the cellular / molecular level and brain-research (potentially with brainwave headsets for studies, for example, from people's homes in all ~ 8k languages - per Glottolog), think Thomas Dean's Google Brain research (https://research.google.com/pubs/author189.html and https://archive.org/details/Redwood_Center_2013_04_19_Tom_Dean), and at the atomic / nano levels, think MIT's Ed Boyden's work on expansion microscopy (https://www.media.mit.edu/research/highlights/expansion-microscopy and https://twitter.com/eboyden3) - all coming together in brain modeling in this realistic virtual earth.  What does Earl Miller's lab do, or is planning, in some of these regards? What do you have in mind by AI?

Matriculating students in all ~200 countries' main languages would be able to help code all of this. CC WUaS plans to develop all of the above with time. (And CC WUaS donated itself to CC Wikidata in October 2015, and has Google Education, and is CC so will share CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and build on this). 

Differential equations and neuroscience would come together in this modeling of the brain in a realistic virtual earth, as well. I also blog much about some of this e.g. here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/03/cabbage-white-butterfly-in-realistic.html - re Harvard's George Church, for example. Check out the "brain" label for example.  

How might we best communicate further about some of this? What are some of the directions you're heading in re all of this? I'll reply soon to your email, as well, Argyro. Thank you Dmitris, and greetings to Earl Miller (http://ekmillerlab.mit.edu/ and https://twitter.com/MillerLabMIT). 

Your LinkedIn page doesn't show that Greek is your first langauge. Is it? 

Nice to be in communication here. 

Kind regards, Scott

Dear Argyro, Dimitris and Roland,  

Yes, WUaS would develop our WUaS Universal Translator with GNMT - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Neural_Machine_Translation . Conceptually, see, for example, http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/01/alpine-ibex-swiss-language-problem-is.html . 

As part of World University and School's planned degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D., as well as I.B. - International Baccalaureate high school diplomas - in ~200 countries' main and official languages - WUaS plans to develop online CC OCW law schools in each country's official languages+ which would perhaps further focus the conversation about some of the issues you addressed in your Stanford Law Codex talk, and possibly per Kate Darling's thinking, as well. 

For WUaS online law schools planned in all countries' main languages (e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/China_Law_School_at_WUaS or Greece Law School at WUaS), for example, WUaS seeks to teach about some of the subjects you addressed in your talk yesterday - as well as to offer the basic course work for a law degree in each country. 

In addition, WUaS has already started the following beginning wiki subjects for open teaching and learning relating to the law, with the following beginning law schools planned in all ~200 countries' official languages: 


















Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them)









They are all somewhat CC MIT OCW-centric and Yale OYC-centric. 

Thank you for your edifying Stanford Law Codex presentation, and let's stay in touch about Greece World University and School in Greek, among other questions. Did you happen to meet Nicholas Negroponte when you were in Cambridge?  

Kind regards, Scott

Scott,

Thanks for your follow up from Codex presentation last week.  As you can imagine, we are tackling the data questions with respect to various research projects but we have not considered your request.  

As we start expanding, now is the time to consider this and look forward to following up with you are we move forward.  Keeping JJ in the loop will be valuable as he keeps data for research a priority!

Best Regards, MJ

Thanks, MJ, JJ, and Roland, 

More about WUaS's main "Research" wiki focus (one of ~12) - and re online law schools. If Afghanistan needed / wanted an online court system (in main Afghan languages), for example, in what ways might we collaborate further re related research data? (Stanford has an Afghanistan law project). 

See the beginning "Research" wiki subject here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - and the beginning online Law Schools at WUaS, about 10 in different countries (not yet in their languages).

More about this here, as well as with a conversation with another  Stanford Law Codex co-presenter  ... 

Best Regards, Scott
