ees will vote on this fee increase in its upcoming May meeting. SGB Executive Vice President Jahari Mercer said the increase in the student activities fee will ultimately benefit Pitt students.

“Even though it’s an increase in the fee, it will help to better serve more organizations that we all interact with,” Mercer said.

Wellness Chair Eric Macadangdang announced

Just 50 years ago, computers were barely capable of doing basic math. In the decades since, huge strides in technology and software have made artificial intelligence, or computer programs that attempt to emulate the higher decision-making faculties of intelligent beings, like humans, viable.

Companies and researchers have developed artificial intelligence to play arcade games and drive autonomous cars, and it’s the technology that powers Snapchat’s face-recognizing lenses. It also suggests products to buy on Amazon, tells us what to watch next on Netflix and controls what news feeds appear on Facebook, meaning that AI is in control of a lot more than how we look in a video sent to our friends. It can influence our outlook on the world, even going so far as to impact elections.

That’s why Chris Paine, an award-winning documentary film director and producer, made the movie “Do You Trust this Computer?” The film takes a look at the possibilities and dangers brought about by the development of AI. Paine has worked on several documentaries in the past, most of which discuss technology in the context of transportation like automotives and bicycles. Although “Do You Trust this Computer?” mentions the automotive industry, where AI is used extensively in self-driving cars, the film focuses on AI generally, apart from any particular implementation.

Pitt Cyber will show the film at 6 p.m. on Thursday in the Teplitz Courtroom of the Barco Law Building. A Q&A panel that includes Paine and

SGB ANNOUNCES COUNSELING CENTER CHANGES

Maureen Hartwell Staff Writer

With the academic year coming to a close, Pitt’s Student Government Board spent its Tuesday meeting passing new legislation and introducing new members for SGB 2019-20.

The Board approved four pieces of legislation, postponing the vote for Board Bill 62 until the meeting next Tuesday. Board Bill 63, passed Tues-

day night, clarifies protocol for a tie in the race for executive vice president. Three Board resolutions also passed Tuesday evening, stating SGB’s support for the Choose to Reuse program, use of Venmo for student organizations and a raise in the student activities fee from $80 to $100.

The student activities fee was last raised to $80 from $60 by the Board of Trustees in 2004, following a recommendation from SGB. The Board of Trust-

the University’s Counseling Center will consolidate its appointment process, effective immediately.

Currently, Macadangdang said, each student who visits the Center must complete a mental health screening, have a preliminary meeting with a clinician and then wait another two to three weeks before another appointment. With the new changes, students will be able to see a clinician, who will determine on the same day if that individual should receive individual, group, couples or workshop therapy.

He also said the Center plans to revamp the website over the summer so that students can more clearly view the options of clinicians and services at their disposal. Macadangdang said as these changes come, he wants to ensure student voices are heard.

Macadangdang also announced he’s trying to create a student task force to assess the O-Week

Paine, pg. 1 several Pitt professors will follow the screening.

The Pitt News talked with Paine before the showing about the documentary, AI and his filmmaking process.

TPN: Tell me a little bit about yourself to get started.

Paine: Well, I’m a documentary director and producer, and I made a film called “Who Killed the Electric Car” back in 2006, about the destruction of 5,000 electric vehicles in California, and then … [laughs] … sorry, I haven’t answered this question in such a long time. I generally tend to do films about technology and the environment, and I care about narrative tradition, so I try to make the films as exciting as possible. And we’ve done three or four films about electric cars, bicycles, motorcycle racing and science fiction. And [“Do You Trust this Computer?”] is a mash-up of sci-fi and technology. Did you get to see the movie?

TPN: Yeah, it’s on YouTube, right?

Paine: It is on YouTube, yes, but the film was made for the theater. We have Chris Jenkins, who did the sound [mixing] on “Mad Max” and got an Oscar for that, and we try to make real theatrical presentations. Because so much of the AI story is in the minds of science-fiction creators, it became a really cool way to play with the documentary form and make a film about what could be happening

Elizabeth Warren “100% behind” Pitt grad student union pittnews.com programs regarding sexual assault by leaving comments on the existing material so the University can adjust the content accordingly. He said with this student input, he aims to push for more “proactive,” not “reactive,” content.

Macadangdang said though he often approves of the ideas put forth by administrators and professionals in meetings where he is present, he recognizes he is just one student and more input would be valuable.

“Having a solid foundation of students willing to help with this could be very productive,” Macadangdang said. “We are a diverse student body with different issues and values, so I want to make sure we have as many voices as possible to produce the best policy and program outcomes.”

The Board also announced Ritika Bajpai will serve as SGB chief of staff and Matthew Niedoba will serve as Facilities, Transportation and Technology chair for the 2019-20 academic year.

Caroline Unger, the current Facilities, Transpor-

tation and Technology chair, announced campus recreation centers will now allow students to rent equipment and lockers electronically. Unger said under the current system, students must rent equipment and lockers in person at each respective recreation center, providing their student ID as collateral.

Unger noted that the campus recreation centers currently offer everything from basketballs to exercise bands to squash rentals, but students might not be aware. She said the current system of giving up a student ID and speaking with recreation center employees deters some students from even renting in the first place.

Effective next semester, students can rent online — a convenience that Unger thinks can facilitate a healthier campus culture.

“We always want to advertise a healthy campus,” Unger said. “And showing that it’s going to be easier to access these items can make the idea of living a healthier lifestyle as a college student a little less daunting.”

right now.

TPN: What brought you to artificial intelligence?

Paine: You know, I was reading Stephen Hawking … Well, before he passed away, he was talking about the existential threat of superintelligence and artificial intelligence. I went, “Really? That seems unlikely. What’s he nervous about?” Of course, I knew about privacy issues around Google and all the rest of it, but I didn’t really know the story of superintelligence. I didn’t understand how powerful the algorithms were in terms of targeting messages and computational propaganda. I realized, “Wow, this technology could accidentally overwhelm us, and this is really the time to get people knowledgeable, and get people interested and aware of what’s going on so that we can democratize the technology so that everyone can have a say in where it’s headed. Or try to have a say.”

TPN: Could you briefly explain what artificial intelligence is?

Paine: Well, the idea of artificial intelligence changes for every generation. If you told someone in the 1830s that a computer could beat you in chess, that would be artificial intelligence. The idea is building machines that can think and problemsolve on their own. If you take the Turing test definition, if it’s impossible to tell as a user if you’re interacting with a human or a computer, you’re looking at artificial intelligence.

We use simple AIs in everything. For some people, the autopilot is artificial intelligence, whether it’s in a self-driving Tesla or in that Boeing Super Max jet that you came down in that was guiding a human being all the way down to the ground. We use these things as tools, and we just have to be careful not to let them make the final decisions for us.

The great line from the film is “AIs know you better than your mother does.” Some algorithm at Google probably knows more about you than anyone in your family. So that’s kinda cool in a way, because it can cater to your interests, but what’s the flip side?

That’s what our movie is about.

TPN: You talked to a lot of people for the documentary, including Max Tegmark, Rana el Kaliouby and Elon Musk [Interviewer’s note: Tegmark is a professor of physics at MIT, El Kaliouby is the CEO of the tech start-up Affectiva and Musk is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla.] What was it like to talk to people who are at the forefront of artificial intelligence development right now?

Paine: Super hard to get interviews with people that are at the top of their game in AI. That was by far the hardest part of this film. People are getting seven-figure salaries, it’s impossible to work into their schedule. They don’t want to be seen as overly cautious in their approach to AI because there’s millions and millions and millions of government funding going into these programs.

SGB announced new committee chairs at Tuesday night’s meeting.

It’s especially tricky for women, because the women who have managed to break into this mostly all-male world don’t want to be seen as troublemakers. I give Rana a ton of credit as a CEO of a start-up company coming on camera and talking about stuff. And she’s a believer in the technology.

Most of the people we interviewed are believers — Elon, of course, uses AI in his cars and rockets, and Rana does it in all of her emotion-recognition software. So they have a lot of vested interest in seeing that the technology be beneficial, and it’s built their careers.

But it’s interesting that the moment you get interviews with them, you say, “Is there anything you’d be concerned about, or is this just hype?” and they go, “Well, I am a little concerned about this.”

And you get a little shiver down your spine and you go, “God, they actually are a little bit nervous about that.”

TPN: What do you think would be a best-case scenario? What steps do you think would create the best future for humanity with respect to this technology?

Paine: Well, I don’t think we should turn them off, because we use them all the time. I love my computer. I don’t trust my computer, but I love my computer. I’m not a person who’d say burn your computer. Really, I believe in it. It’s just we can’t let five guys at Google, two guys at Facebook, the NSA and China be in charge of all these things.

Opinions

Editorial: Ending affirmative action sets us back pittnews.com

LEGALIZE SEX WORK TO PROTECT SEX WORKERS Delilah Bourque

Senior Staff Writer The word prostitute — or sex worker, as is the preferred term — tends to inspire the image of young women in short skirts standing on a darkened street corner or someone sitting in a window under a red light in Amsterdam. But sex work is actually more nuanced and broader than most understand it to be. While many forms of sex work are legal, like phone sex and nude dancing, prostitution remains illegal in most of the world.

This illegality heightens the danger of a job that deserves to be legalized. Decriminalizing or legalizing sex work broadly across the United States could increase protections for the nearly 2 million sex workers at risk for abuse and lacking access to workers’ rights in the country.

Sex workers would be able to seek health care, have the potential to form labor unions, be able to sue for discrimination and reap other benefits of employment laws while working a legal profession. Sex workers would also face less violence if they were able to report abuse to police. Sweden, which decriminalized sex work for workers but not solicitors in 1999, saw no sex workers murdered by clients between then and 2015.

If sex work was legalized, sex workers would be healthier and at less risk for sexually transmitted diseases, like HIV. Currently, female sex workers are 54 times more likely to contract HIV than the average woman. One study suggested with mathematical modeling that if sex workers had access to safer places to work and medical treatment, incidents of new HIV infection in sex workers fell between 33% and 46%.

Decriminalizing and legalizing sex work also helps remove stigma around sex workers by legitimizing their profession. Andrea Werhun, author of “Modern Whore,” a memoir about her experiences as a sex worker, found that the shame surrounding sex work made it hard to share her life with her families.

“You don’t have to be a sex worker to know

pittnews.com

Daniel Walsh | senior staff illustrator what it’s like to feel excluded from society. I couldn’t be myself,” Werhun said in an interview. “Most people weren’t in a place where they could deal with my sex work.”

Seeking new sex work laws could also help the economy. Legal sex work would increase revenue for state and federal governments collecting taxes from individual sex workers and from brothels. Though economics are not as important as the personal safety of sex workers, an economic boost could be a contributing factor in passing legislation.

Dennis Hof, a brothel owner in Nevada, estimated that the government of Las Vegas alone could collect huge amounts in taxes from brothel owners. “[Prostitution is] a multimillion-dollar-ayear business in Las Vegas, and nobody gets any taxes off of it … The city and the county could probably make about $25 million a year in taxes off of legalized prostitution,” Hof said.

“Right now they spend a lot of money policing vice. Why not eliminate that and turn it into a revenue-maker, instead of having to pay to police it?”

Right now, Nevada is the only place in the United States where sex work is currently legal in certain areas of the state, and engaging in sex work outside of a legal brothel is a misdemeanor offense. But the Nevada system isn’t perfect.

Sex workers are considered independent contractors, meaning they cannot collect unemployment, retirement or health care benefits.

There are multiple different models for the decriminalization and legalization of sex work across the world. New Zealand is the only country that has fully legalized sex work, and some models in Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway criminalize sex work for the buyers, but not the sellers. In the Netherlands, for example, sex work is regulated by police, and brothels must be licensed.

April 10, 2019

The Dutch system is complicated, with many different stipulations on how many licenses can be administered for a certain area and how workers can use the spaces in brothels.

Some sex workers in the Netherlands are advocating for more complete legalization, which they argue would keep sex workers safe from police harassment and poor working conditions in a limited number of brothels.

Legalization and decriminalization has marked effects on the lives of sex workers. New Zealand passed the Prostitution Reform Act in 2003, which fully decriminalized sex work for those over 18, without stipulations about where sex workers are allowed to work.

Following the PRA, a 2007 study by the Department of Public Health and General Practice at the University of Otago in Christchurch, New Zealand, revealed that 90% of sex workers surveyed felt the new laws gave them better employment, legal, health and safety rights. One sex worker in New Zealand was able to successfully sue the owner of the brothel she worked at for sexual harassment in 2014.

Opponents of decriminalization and legalization argue that the illegal bringing of unwilling people into sex work, or sex trafficking, would increase if sex work is legalized and decriminalized. But criminalizing sex work is not an effective solution to sex trafficking. With current legislation, trafficking is still a problem — 7,255 people fell victim to sex trafficking in 2017. Decriminalization is considered to be a strategy to fight sex trafficking by protecting trafficking victims from prosecution for illegal sex work.

Sex work is a profession held all over the world and in many different forms. Though trafficking laws also need to be improved, victims still slip into the hands of traffickers with our current system. Decriminalization and legalization of sex work broadly across the country will increase protections for sex workers, who currently are exposed to abuses without the protection of the law.

Sports VIRGINIA, TEAM OF DESTINY, WINS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP Trent Leonard

Sports Editor “Team of destiny” is a sports cliche given to a team that, through sheer luck, generous refereeing or the will of some higher authority, seems to overcome any obstacle in its path and go the distance. It’s a vague, unscientific label that often undermines a team’s actual ability.

Yet after the No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers overcame a late-game deficit in miracle fashion for the third time in as many games to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament over No. 3 Texas Tech on Monday night, 85-77, one has to wonder if there was some sort of divine intervention at play.

What else can explain why Texas Tech, one of the best defensive college basketball teams in recent memory, parted like the Red Sea when Virginia junior Ty Jerome drove down the lane with less than 20 seconds remaining and the game on the line? Or how the Red Raiders could possibly leave sophomore forward De’Andre Hunter, a presumed 2019 NBA lottery pick and Virginia’s most accurate 3-point shooter, wide open to knock the game-tying three that sent the game into overtime?

The Cavaliers went on to win in the extra period, the culmination of a tournament of miracles and gutty performances from their experienced cast led by the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, junior guard Kyle Guy. All tournament long, Guy and the Cavaliers embodied the “team of destiny” mantra and played like they had nothing to lose — an ironic twist of fate, considering Virginia fell on the wrong side of destiny in 2018 and lost everything.

I’m referring, of course, to Virginia’s infamous 74-54 loss to No. 16 University of Maryland, Baltimore County in the opening round of last year’s tournament — the first and only time in tournament history that a No. 16 seed ever beat a No. 1 seed. Previously, No. 1 seeds were a perfect 135-0.

In the wake of that unthinkable loss, the Cavaliers faced an immense amount of media scrutiny.

Many called into question head coach Tony Bennett’s fastidious coaching style, which involves slowing the game down to a snail’s pace. Virginia routinely ranks dead last in the nation in possessions per game. On a more personal level, Guy revealed his struggles with anxiety in a piece with SBNation.com, saying he struggled with the feeling

pittnews.com

he let his teammates, fans and family down.

Many people, myself included, wrote Virginia off entering this year’s NCAA Tournament. But shame on me for being shortsighted. In my defense, there were countless times throughout the tournament when the Cavaliers were within inches or milliseconds of losing, but somehow, just somehow, didn’t.

Virginia’s unlikely path to redemption started with its first matchup against No. 16 Gardner Webb.

The Cavaliers trailed by as much as 14 in the first half before trimming the deficit down to six at halftime, inciting mass panic that they might repeat last year’s catastrophic failure. But Bennett must’ve really riled

Purdue a 91% chance to win at that point.

What happened next involved a microscopic margin for error. Virginia junior forward Mamadi Diakite rose above the fray to tip the ball out to midcourt — not short enough for the defense to chase it down, but not long enough for several seconds to tick off the clock. First-year guard Kihei Clark managed to track it down and zip a 40-foot dime to Diakite, who caught the ball and put it up in one swift motion just as time expired. It went through the net, sending the game into overtime, where Virginia won 80-75.

In the Final Four against No. 4 Auburn, Virginia led 54-47 with 5:24 remaining, giving it a 96% win

Virginia Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome hoists the championship trophy aloft as he walks off the court on Monday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Virginia defeated Texas Tech 85-77 in overtime to win the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Jerry Holt, Minneapolis Star Tribune | tns up the players in the locker room, because they came out hot in the second half and cruised to a 71-56 win.

After safely beating No. 9 Oklahoma and then narrowly slipping past No. 12 Oregon in the Sweet Sixteen, Virginia matched up against No. 3 Purdue. After a back-and-forth affair that saw Purdue junior guard Carsen Edwards catch fire from 3-point range, the Cavaliers found themselves trailing by three with five seconds left and Jerome at the free-throw line. Jerome made the first to make it 70-68 but missed the second, giving

probability. But those odds flipped around historically fast as a frantic Auburn run gave the Tigers a seemingly insurmountable four-point lead with 10 seconds remaining. Guy drained a clutch contested three to pull within one and make it 61-60, but Auburn’s win probability still stood at 93% with five seconds remaining after a free throw made it 62-60.

Against all odds, Virginia again found a way to persevere. This time, its salvation came in the form of a controversial — but ultimately correct — foul call on Auburn junior guard Samir Doughty, who

April 10, 2019

stepped underneath Guy as he shot a 3-pointer with one second left. Guy, an 81.2% free-throw shooter, needed to make all three foul shots to win. There was just a 53.9% chance of that happening, but Guy confidently stepped to the line and nailed all three without so much as grazing the rim to give his team the win, 63-62.

On the other side of the bracket, No. 3 Texas Tech made its march to the national championship game in less dramatic fashion. The Red Raiders employed their trademark suffocating defensive pressure to beat their first three opponents by 15, 20 and 19 points, respectively. That led to an Elite Eight matchup against No. 1 Gonzaga, pitting the nation’s best offensive team against its best defensive one.

Defense prevailed, as Texas Tech held the Bulldogs to 69 points, 19 under their season average, while scoring 75 of its own.

Texas Tech then topped Michigan State in the Final Four, 61-51, setting up a matchup between the two best defenses in college basketball. The game was naturally expected to be a defense-oriented slugfest, and Las Vegas set the over/under for the amount of total projected points scored at 119 — the lowest in a National Championship or Final Four game since 2005.

Sure enough, the game’s opening minutes resembled a prehistoric rock fight, with each team’s defense smothering the other’s offense into ugly, contested jumpers at the end of the shot clock.

The two teams combined for seven total points over the first six minutes, and viewers braced themselves for a long night.

But to everyone’s surprise, the floodgates opened from there, resulting in one of the most exciting national championship games ever. The two teams combined for 162 points (overtime helped), smashing the over/under by 43 points and marking the highest-scoring title game since 2000.

The usual suspects carried the workload for Virginia, as the trio of Hunter, Guy and Jerome combined for 67 of Virginia’s 85 points. For Texas Tech, it was another story. Sophomore guard Jarrett Culver, the Red Raiders’ leading scorer and projected 2019 NBA lottery pick, struggled mightily early
