HCAIM Webinar: Trustworthy AI. Provability, Accountability, Understandability
2021-11-25 13:00 - 14:00 UTC
On Thursday, November 25, 2021, at 13:00 CET, we will be having a live session with two eminent academics from Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Péter ANTAL, PhD who is an associate professor, head of the Artificial Intelligence Group, head of the Computational Biology Laboratory at the Department of Measurement and Information Systems – Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (VIK) and Mihály HÉDER, PhD, habil., an associate professor, head of the department at the Dept. for Philosophy and History of Science (FTT) – Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences (GTK).

A constant urge to create trustable tools and cooperation is part of the human condition. It is little wonder then that we strive for maintaining the trust and intellectual control over the machines we create. But given their growing complexity and deep embedding in the human society, is this realistic, or is this an example of the vanity of human wishes? How do we justify the double standard between the explainability of decisions by humans and AIs?We inspect a three-tier approach to trustworthy AI:

A mathematical approach based on logical and probabilistic provability,
A legal approach using accountability and responsibility, and
An ethical engineering approach aiming for transparency and understandability throughout the development. We discuss their role in ethics guidelines to support comprehensive workflows for nurturing human-compatible trustworthy AI systems.

Tarry Singh (CEO, deepkapha AI Lab & Real AI B.V.) will be moderating this webinar. We will be hosting a lot of exciting topics pertaining to human-centred AI throughout 2021 – 2022 until the definitive launch of the human-centred AI Masters in fall 2022.

All sessions will run live and will be hosted on LinkedIn Live. You can view the recorded sessions at our Webinars Archive. We will have more engaging discussions with top industry leaders including our project partners from Universities, Research Labs, Industry parties and others. A complete list of all project partners can be found here. View the live event here.

HCAIM Webinar: Can Ethics and AI work together?
2021-10-21 13:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Paris) | LinkedIn Live
On October 21, 2021, at 13:00 CET, we will be having a real live session with two eminent academics from the University of Naples Federico II, namely Prof. Carlo Sansone who is a full professor in Computer Science and Engineering and Prof. Guglielmo Tamburrini, a full professor of Philosophy of Science and Technology.AI is a broad, multi-disciplinary study, encompassing engineering, mathematics, computer science, and now – societal awareness.

We will discuss the technological advancements of AI – but more particularly about the topic of ethics and IT – especially with the emergence of AI. Can they work in harmony with each other?

The topics that will be discussed live will be about the following and more obviously:

How can we go about explaining the need for trustworthy, ethical, and technically robust AI to a person, outside the field of technology?
How would you explain it to a person, currently engaged in the development of AI-based solutions?
Can ethics and AI work together? It is a common argument that the standardization of ethical AI will impede innovation. After all, we all are in favour of technological innovation but how to do it in the most reliable and sustainable way?
Finally, how do you intend to tackle this challenge in the context of this AI Masters’s program? How do you intend to develop professionals who can be more informed about these issues?

Announcing our first episode of the HCAIM Webinar Series! The Human Debt of AI – Can We Put the Human Back in the Loop with AI?
2020-10-01 13:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Paris) | LinkedIn Live
We are super excited to announce the commencement of our HCAIM Webinar Series. In this multi-part Webinar series, we will be talking with various industry leaders, academics, AI experts, ethicists, policymakers and social scientists covering a variety of topics related to human-centred AI.
We will discuss the technological advancements of AI – from automation of mundane and repetitive tasks to making breakthrough discoveries in genetics, material sciences, and predicting climate events. We will also discuss the human-centred AI Master’s Programme that we are developing – how it is constructed and what it aims for the learners to equip with so they can lead with responsibility in this AI pervasive era.
On October 7, 2021, at 13:00 CET, we will be launching our very first webinar where Tarry Singh (CEO, deepkapha AI Lab & Real AI B.V.) will be speaking with Dr Stefan Leijnen, Professor of research group Artificial Intelligence at HU of Applied Sciences, Utrecht.
They will discuss how the HCAIM project came into existence, why it is needed, when is it launching and most importantly, how this European HCAI Masters program will be different from the rest. They will also probe into the following topics:
The Human Debt of AI – Can We Put the Human Back in the Loop with AI?
There is a lot of talk about the technical debt of information systems, as more systems are penetrating inside enterprises but there is no serious discussion around the cost of this pervasive technology on the well-being of humans – meaning us!
There is no industry in the world today that does not have a human and technology working in tandem, but the pertinent question remains: Who is in control? Who or What is gaining control? And how can we ensure that we bring back human ingenuity that responsibly works with machines and that ensures that machine decisions originate from systems that are ethical, explainable and interpretable by design?
Who can steer such a complex change inside the organization? What skills must they possess?
While many of the current courses in the field of AI still focus on the academic and technological aspects of artificial intelligence, a new approach is needed where, in addition to these aspects, there is also a clear focus on the human and ethical side of AI.
For instance, a real AI architect knows or must know as much about the AI from technical design, as possessing the ability to identify the lack of poor architectural choices – especially when it comes to AI algorithms and models that have to survive not only the test of model relevance. Whether model drift or model shift but also its ability to answer sensitive questions such as: “Is this model objective enough to not have, say “gender” as a weighing factor?” or “What are the risks/implications of transferability of such model from small population to large subsets?”

This and a lot more will be discussed in 2021 – 2022 until the definitive launch of the human-centred AI Master’s Programme in fall 2022.
