Conference on Human-Centred Regulation of AI (HCRAI)
2023-06-28 | 1117 Budapest, Magyar tudósok körútja 2., BME Building I, Room 028, Magyar tudósok körútja 2., BME Building I, Room 028, Budapest, 1117, Hungary
Research into the laws and automation of rational thinking and acting has been going on for centuries and has accelerated over the last eight decades within the framework of artificial intelligence (AI). The technological advances of the last decade have opened the door to the mass production of AI products and prompted an existential question: how to create an ethical and human-centred AI regulation that also protects the Earth’s biosphere and supports further development?
The single-day Human-Centred Regulation of AI (HCRAI) Conference will be held on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Speakers will discuss the EU AI Act, including its objectives, structure, interpretation, available information resources and educational elements, case studies, as well as practical steps required for different stakeholders and AI developers. The morning session will overview various aspects of the EU AI Act, and the afternoon session will highlight educational and technological challenges and present case studies. The conference will end with a round-table discussion.
Speakers. B. Hankó (State secretary, MCI), J. Levendovszky (Vice rector, BME), H. Charaf (Dean, BME VIK), D. Tzanidakis, D. Petrányi (ELTE), L. Bódis (Deputy state secretary, MCI), Á. Tényi (E-Group), TBA (QTICS), B. Feeney (HCAIM project, TUD), P. Antal (BME VIK), K. Mezei (BME GTK), M. Héder (BME GTK), Sz. Németh (Continental), TBA (NVIDIA), TBA (Microsoft), Tarry Singh, (Real AI B.V.), Gabriele Franco, and more.

WEBINAR: Human-Centered ML in Mobile and Wearable Data Ecosystems
2024-03-07 11:00 - 13:00 UTC
CeADAR invites you to a webinar on Thursday, March 7th, 2024, at 11 AM Dublin time, featuring Sofia Yfantidou from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Sofia is a prominent figure in the field of Human-Centred AI, with a focus on mobile and wearable data. Register for the event here.

About the Talk:

The tech talk will explore the fascinating convergence of mobile and wearable technologies, machine learning algorithms, and human-centred concerns within the Ubiquitous Computing domain. This convergence has opened up numerous industrial applications, from healthcare monitoring to workplace safety, remote assistance, and more. However, the enthusiastic adoption of machine learning in such technologies raises significant ethical dilemmas and biases.

Sofia Yfantidou’s talk will delve into original research spanning user interaction, data collection, and algorithmic equity. She will propose innovative solutions to mitigate alignment challenges, including a framework for designing and evaluating technologies for behaviour change interventions, open datasets for interdisciplinary research, and methodologies for fairness-aware computing.

By emphasizing the integration of technical advancements with human-centred values, Sofia advocates for a holistic approach to mobile and wearable computing. Her talk highlights the importance of aligning machine learning systems with societal needs and expectations.

About the Speaker:

Sofia Yfantidou is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Innovative Training Network “Real-time Analytics for the Internet of Sports” (RAIS) and a Doctoral Candidate at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. She has previously worked with industry leaders such as Siemens Mobility and Nokia Bell Labs, focusing on mobile and wearable computing and human-centred machine learning. Sofia is known for her research on defining, quantifying, and mitigating biases in ubiquitous data and models for health and well-being.
