               Professor Emeritus at Stanford University
               ACM Turing Award Laureate

Abstract:  As the co-inventor of public key cryptography and a thought leader in technology ethics, Professor Hellman will explore how technological developments—particularly nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, and climate change—have transformed ethical evolution from a moral choice into a survival imperative for human civilization.

Martin Edward Hellman is best known for his invention, with Diffie and Merkle, of public key cryptography, the technology that enables secure Internet transactions and is used to transfer trillions of dollars every day. His work has been recognized by numerous honors and awards, including election to the National Academy of Engineering and the million-dollar ACM Turing Award, often called "the Nobel Prize of Computer Science."
