Dr Chris Bakal - Seeing cancer by computer vision

The ability of cancer cells to adopt different shapes and spread throughout the body drives 90% of cancer deaths. My idea is that by stopping these shape changes, we able to treat cancers better. I will discuss how we are using cutting-edge imaging and computer vision technologies to watch cancer cells change shape, and finding new ways to prevent cancer shape-shifting. I will also discuss some of the challenges we are facing in doing this work, and how we might be able to overcome them.

<H3>Ane Olivarius - Revenge Porn: The Naked Truth</H3>
Having represented victims of revenge porn like Chrissy Chambers, Ann Olivarius is highly familiar with this new crime—and with the ways, we can stop it. Often when people hear about revenge porn cases, their gut reaction is: “Why would anyone send nude photos? They should have known this was coming!” Digital communications, however, are a fundamental part of modern communications. Instead of blaming victims, we need to find ways to reshape our culture to emphasise consent and sexual autonomy on the internet. Revenge porn is a modern form of sexual violence that aims to give men control over women’s bodies and images. It is a hate crime for the era of mass media and is enabled by an audience that finds pleasure in others’ shame. So, in addition to prosecuting individual perpetrators, we need to find ways to go after the distributors and spreaders of revenge porn content. Only by addressing the phenomenon as a whole can we make the internet a safer place.

<IMG ALT="rebecca amos TEDxReading 2107" SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/160133845/rebeccaamos.jpg">
Rebecca Amos - When will AI understand behaviour and stop crime? With cyber attacks, security threats and data breaches on the rise, how can we be sure that organisations are protecting us, their customers? As criminals and fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated, the latest AI technology is transforming how we spot and stop criminals by fixating on ‘good’ behaviour, instead of assuming that we know what ‘bad’ behaviour looks like. Can we teach machines to act like humans to outsmart risk? Rebecca Amos explores how today’s technology revolution is making it possible.

Kizanne James - How to Solve the Global Sex Problem Additionally, Kizanne has been selected out of thousands of young leaders from 104 countries to be a fellow in the Women Deliver Young Leader’s Program, rated 4th in the world. She is also one of 10 World Contraception Day Ambassadors and advocates for the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women and Girls in Latin America and the Caribbean. At present, she is the founder of Access Contraception, a global movement and social enterprise funded by Women Deliver and the University of Southampton to improve access to sexual health resources within developing countries. Her work has been recognised by numerous local, regional and international magazines and newspapers including FP2020, PSI Impact Magazine and Marie Claire UK.” There is a lack of comprehensive sexual education and access to sexual health resources within many parts of the world. This doesn’t only result in pervasive and harmful misconceptions surrounding sex but causes serious economic and social burden on these countries. Unfortunately, the countries most affected are those that already have struggling economies. Can the use of mobile-technology to provide education and access to sexual health resources, present a solution to address this global challenge?

How far can industry this go and how could drones change the world we live in?
