On June 4, 2011, while rock climbing near Gunnison, Colorado, Danielle had a tragic accident, falling over 250 feet, breaking her ankles, femur, pelvis, and back in 2 places. Paralyzed at T6 and a wheelchair user, she had 6 surgeries and was hospitalized for 3 and a half months. Her surgeon believes Danielle survived the longest fall on record onto a hard surface, and wrote an article about it.

University of Puget Sound Symposium on AI & Privacy

AI and Privacy aims to bring together scholars, practitioners, technologists, and policymakers to examine the rapidly evolving challenges and possibilities at the intersection of artificial intelligence and data sharing. The symposium explores how the algorithmic turn is reshaping longstanding privacy concerns, from biometric and biological data (“bioprivacy”) to creative and cultural domains. Sessions will investigate emerging privacy risks, shifting social norms, and the ways AI is transforming what counts as private, knowable, and controllable.
