SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, West Hartford\, September 24\, 2025: Retsef Levi
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILThe famed supper club at a fabulous venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute\, features MIT scientist and biostatistician Dr. Retsef Levi\, who is a leading authority on information systems\, pharmaceutical efficacy and safety\, and a current member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. \nCome early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion is brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nThis month we are deeply honored to host Retsef Levi\, a curious and scrupulous scientist with a humane outlook on solutions in these troubled times. He is a member of the Operations Management Group at MIT Sloan and affiliated with the MIT Operations Research Center. Levi also serves as the faculty leader for Food Chain Supply Analytics. Before coming to MIT\, he spent a year in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center as the holder of the Goldstine Postdoctoral Fellowship. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Tel-Aviv University in 2001\, and a PhD in Operations Research from Cornell University in 2005. \nHe is a member of ACIP\, the committee that provides advice and guidance to leaders of the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This CIP appointment is for four years. \nRetsef will share with us insights on the matter of AI systems. Are they as robust as advertised or are we merely creating single points of failure. Not nearly enough attention has been paid to this concern. Another matter: when AI systems break down\, can anyone fix them? Other issues will come up in Q&A. \nWe are thrilled to hear from him and hear his story of his experiences and what it has taught him about this highly contentious moment in public life. This event will certainly sell out\, so be sure to get your tickets early.
