Good afternoon, *Apologies for cross-posting* The Digital Interests Lab <http://digitalinterests.org/> and Ai Now <https://ainowinstitute.org/> series of conversations surrounding Public Interest Technology (The PITCh <https://www.digitalinterests.org/events/the-pitch/>) has another event next week on January 26th (and a special edition on May 11th!) The PITCh is a monthly series of remote conversations between established and early career scholars to support the work of practitioners and academics interested in public interest technology (PIT), with discussions on substantive issues and professional development topics. The PITCh, hosted by Digital Interests Lab Director Prof. Anne L. Washington, <https://annewashington.com/> PhD, features analysis and approaches by established scholars, and extensive opportunities for dialogue and reflections with two guests per session. Each session also has a limited number of early career individuals as a “live” audience, who will have the opportunity to ask questions and respond to the main conversation. The events are broadcast live in a Zoom Webinar format, and will also have a brief general public Q&A towards the end. Next week is the last of our regular programming. Join us on 01/26 at 9am EST as *Prof. Washington* chats with *Prof. Arvind Narayanan*, and *Prof. Frank Pasquale* about Ai Snake Oil.
