Dr. Melanie Walsh
Melanie Walsh is an assistant professor in the Information School at the University of Washington. She investigates how data, computational methods, and AI shape contemporary culture (literature, music, art, etc.), and how they can be used to understand culture in turn. She is co-PI of the NEH-funded AI for Humanists project, which makes recent advances in artificial intelligence accessible so that humanities researchers and the general public may be positioned to make use of — and critique — these important new computational language technologies. Walsh was also a Mozilla Responsible Computing Challenge awardee.

Data center growth in Virginia is causing a huge spike in energy demand, which is currently being met by huge fracked gas generation build-out in Virginia and the Southeast United States. Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) — the first grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting global warming in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. — is working to educate Virginians on data center issues and CCAN Action Fund is working to advance common sense policies to ensure data center energy demand is met with clean energy.
