Up for Science and Politics: Understanding Data Centers

8:30-10 am Tuesday, March 24, UMBC University Center 312


Data centers power everything from traffic predictions and fraud detection on credit cards. At UMBC, researchers are developing AI-powered treatments for stomach disorders and AI tools that help students learn and thrive, among other projects. Data centers also have implications for public health, the environment, and energy capacity. Yet even as Maryland is poised to be the next major data center hub, many residents don't know what they are, how they work, and what they power.

Join us for a conversation with Maryland policymakers and UMBC experts as they unpack the science behind data centers, key policy and ethical debates surrounding their construction, and how leaders can effectively communicate the costs and benefits of data centers to the public.

Moderator

Dr. Anupam Joshi, Vice Provost, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer

Nina-Simone Edwards from the Georgetown University Institute for Technology Law and Policy will address ethical issues in AI policy for libraries and higher education in an online session at 12-1pm EDT on Wednesday, October 15.

As AI tools are rapidly integrated into library and higher education systems, conversations often focus on functionality over ethics. This presentation zooms out from tool-specific uses to examine the deeper legal, ethical, privacy, and policy implications of AI in academic and library settings. Drawing on current examples and institutional trends, it explores what's often missing: genuine privacy protections and ethical design embedded from the start. From vendor contracts to algorithmic bias, this session highlights the risks of uncritical adoption and the need to move beyond performative ethics. Attendees will leave better equipped to challenge the AI status quo and advocate for thoughtful, user-centered implementation that protects the core values of education and librarianship.

UMBC professor Aharona Rosenthal has a new paper, Can AI make Hitler cry?, exploring the use of AI in Holocaust education across four generations in Spinger’s AI and Ethics journal. The paper presents an empirical comparison of four generations of Holocaust descendants’ perceptions of AI-generated Holocaust content. 

It reveal a generational trust gap, showing that the first and second generations prioritize emotional authenticity and remain skeptical of AI, third- and fourth-generation participants show greater trust in digital platforms and AI-driven tools for Holocaust education. The fourth generation’s use of AI-powered tools, including short-form content on TikTok and Instagram Reels, represents a new mode of Holocaust engagement, but also raises ethical concerns for gamification and the trivialization of trauma. It advocates for a hybrid model that integrates AI with human storytelling and scholarly oversight to ensure responsible Holocaust education.
