SUMMARY:HCAIM Webinar: The European Approach Towards Reliable\, Safe\, and Trustworthy AI
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 17\, 2022\, at 15:00 CET\, we will be having a live session with the Director of the European Software Institute – Center Eastern Europe (ESI CEE)\, Dr George Sharkov. Following the EU Strategy for AI Development in Europe\, the High-Level Expert Group on AI (HLEG AI) published the “Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI” in 2019 and proposed a human-centric approach to AI by defining a list of seven key requirements that AI systems must meet to be trustworthy. Then\, in 2020\, a few more deliverables were released that outlined the practical aspects of the legal basis\, ethical norms\, and technical robustness requirements\, such as the “Policy and Investment Recommendations for Trustworthy AI\,” the “Assessment List for Trustworthy AI” (ALTAI)\, sectoral considerations report\, and so on. Other European Commission initiatives included a Communication on Building Trust in Human-Centric Artificial Intelligence\, a White Paper on AI\, and an updated Coordinated Plan on AI. They developed a novel idea for a risk-based approach to the development and deployment of AI-based systems in Europe\, which resulted in the AI Regulation proposal (of April 2021). \n\n\n\nTo address the difficulties and newly specified criteria in the next legal and ethical framework\, preparatory work has begun to establish industrial and technological components of AI/ML platforms\, which will grow into standards and specifications. The purpose is to speed industrial and business implementations through specialized horizontal or sector-specific suggestions\, testing and conformity assessment procedures\, and\, where required\, certificates. In this webinar\, we will present some of the current work in place at ETSI ISG SAI (Industry Specifications Group “Securing AI”). In standards\, the three components of AI and security are safeguarding AI from attack\, mitigating against malevolent AI\, and AI for security. More information about previously published or continuing studies will be provided in Securing AI Problem Statement\, Data\, algorithms\, and models in training and implementation environments\, as well as challenges that differ from traditional SW/HW systems. \n\n\n\n\nMitigation Strategy Report. Known or potential mitigations for AI threats\, analyze their security capabilities\, advantages\, and suitable scenarios\nData Supply Chain Report. Methods to source data for training AI\, regulations\, standards\, and protocols – ensure traceability and integrity of data\, attributes\, the confidentiality of information\nSecurity Testing of AI (Specification/Standard GS SAI 003). Testing of ML components\, mutation testing\, differential testing\, adversarial\, test adequacy criteria\, adversarial robustness\, security test oracles\nExplicability and Transparency of AI processing. Addressing issues from regulations\, ethics\, misuse\, HCAI.\nPrivacy Aspects of AI/ML systems. Definition\, multiple levels of trust affecting data\, attacks\, and mitigation techniques.\nTraceability of AI Models. Sharing and reusing models across tasks and industries\, model verification\n\n\n\n\nLast but not least\, we will examine the next stages for the AI Act implementation\, including the AI certification schemes being developed within ENISA’s AI working groups. \n\n\n\nAll 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.

SUMMARY:HCAIM Webinar: The Age of the Cyborgs Has Arrived
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 25\, 2022\, at 16:00 CET\, we will be having a live session with an industry partner from Citel Group S.r.l. Alessandro Barducci. \n\n\n\nMr Barducci (born 1967) is currently R&D Manager for Citel Group S.r.l. He began as a programmer in the 80s when he also proposed an expert system for helping in coronary diseases diagnostics. In this period\, he also developed a simple NLP software that converted natural language into SQL queries to search patients with given parameters (age\, max & min blood pressure\, etc.). He later turned to the aerospace industry\, working as a developer and then as a project manager in air traffic control\, satellite communication and ground control software. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the 90s\, he started focusing also on social and philosophical aspects of IT\, particularly on themes such as media philosophy\, cyborgs\, social control and privacy\, and other IT-related social and political issues. He then widened his professional experience working in the telecom\, automotive\, insurance and PA sectors. He wrote over 40 articles for several magazines and newspapers\, mostly about the social impact of the IT revolution and related philosophical and cultural issues. In 2009\, he participated in the “Juan Comas” XVIII physical Anthropology Congress in Mérida\, Yucatán\, with a paper about cyborgs. \n\n\n\nNowadays\, we are facing a growing interconnection between machines and human bodies. The century of cyborgs has begun. This transformation has ethical\, political\, social and economical implications. Albeit the HCAIM Master’s cannot cover all aspects of this transformation\, a basic grasp is essential to enable students to cope with AI-related ethical issues and even to find better solutions for the AI ecosystem. \n\n\n\nStarting from the last decades of the past century\, we have witnessed a growing interaction and integration between various types of machines (particularly computers) and the human body. We can obtain a coarse measurement of the growth of this interaction by estimating the impact of a “digital amputation” in different epochs\, that is\, the impact of losing all and every digital information we personally own (therefore excluding all the info in possession of public administration\, banks\, etc.). Data integration was often coupled with physical integration: \n\n\n\n\nBefore the ’80\, computers are refrigerator-sized devices you could find in some big companies and research labs.\nIn the ‘80s\, personal computers bring such devices to many workplaces’ desktops\, and even in some homes.\nIn the ’90\, laptop computers can follow you while travelling\, or follow you back and forth from work to home.\nAlso from the 90s\, mobile phones slowly evolve into mobile\, connected computers that you constantly bring with you everywhere. Nowadays most people would feel totally lost\, or at least in distress\, without their mobile.\nEnd of the 90s: first working devices directly connected with our brains (electronic vision to relieve some types of blindness).\n\n\n\n\nAn essential element of this transformation is the explosive growth of the internet (starting from the mid-90s). Now our devices are constantly connected\, and the internet is sometimes considered an essential service just like water\, electricity\, gas and the telephone. By the way\, we usually say that “we” are connected: devices are just tools to allow “us” to get connected. In fact\, modern devices are often nearly useless without an internet connection. We use the internet to work\, study\, buy things\, meet friends or partners… \n\n\n\nWe can therefore resume this technological transformation as follows: we are constantly more integrated with some electronic devices\, that are becoming an important part of our identity and of our body\, and we constantly interact in a global network that complements or gradually replace our traditional working and personal interactions. \n\n\n\nBut “devices” doesn’t mean only computers or mobile phones. We can have a robotic prosthesis\, nanomachines\, and even devices directly connected to our brains permanently connected with our body or even well inside it. \n\n\n\nIn a near future\, we may also have artificial memory\, and smartphones and computers directly connected to our brains. This growing integration raises some questions and concerns: \n\n\n\n\nSocioeconomic. What will happen when these devices will be better than our natural organs (for example\, eyes\, ears…)? Who will have the opportunity of having a “better” body?\nPrivacy and security. Who will have legal access to our sight\, our memories\, our thoughts? How do you protect these devices from unauthorized access? What could be the impact of a nanomachine virus?\n\n\n\n\nOn the other side\, Ai is constantly improving\, and more and more decisions are delegated\, partly or totally\, to machines. We already have autonomous weapons\, i.e. weapons that decide by themselves who is the foe\, who they can kill. \n\n\n\nUsually\, people are not worried by machines stronger or faster than any human being. Maybe because we have been using these machines for centuries\, maybe because\, even before machines\, we lived on a planet with many animals faster or stronger than us. Intelligence is a different matter. What if machines become cleverer than us? Would they rebel against their creator? The so-called “Frankenstein complex”. \n\n\n\nCyborgs could at least provide a solution for this last issue: instead of some kind of war between man and machines\, we could witness a peaceful\, progressive integration. But who will control it\, who will enjoy its benefits\, and who will pay the costs? \n\n\n\nAll 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.
