= 1st International Workshop on New Foundations for Human-Centered AI
= September 4, part of ECAI-2020, free registration
======================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
In June 2018, the European Commission has appointed a "AI High Level
Expert Group" (AI-HLEG) to support the implementation of the European
Strategy on Artificial Intelligence. One of the first results of the
AI-HLEG has been to deliver ethics guidelines on Artificial Intelligence
(https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-consultation/guidelines).
These guidelines put forward a human-centered approach to AI, and list
seven key requirements that human-centered, trustworthy AI systems
should meet. Many of today's most popular AI methods, however, fail to
meet these guidelines: making them compliant is a scientific endeavor
that is as crucial as it is challenging and stimulating.
This full day workshop will collectively address the fundamental
questions of what are the scientific and technological gaps that we have
to fill in order to make AI systems "human-centered" in terms of the
above guidelines.

We are excited to announce that our first Latin American Summer School on
Cognitive Robotics (LACORO) is taking place on 2 weeks from now. This event
aims at making cutting-edge knowledge on Artificial Intelligence for
Robotics Applications accessible to everyone, especially in the Southern
Hemisphere.
We are mindful of uncertainty prompted by the outbreak of COVID-19 and we
cannot forecast what impact it may have in the coming weeks and months.
Despite this, we are still organizing LACORO, albeit as a webinar.
Our aims are:
- to build a sustainable community of students and researchers in the area
of Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, particularly Cognitive Inspired
Aspects of AI.
- to make cutting-edge scientific topics accessible to everyone.
- to overcome the complexity of a multi-cultural and interdisciplinary
learning context.
*Format:* We will organize the Summer School in Latin America biennially.
LACORO will include cutting-edge lectures and tutorials on Artificial
Intelligence and Robotics but also aspects of Human Cognition. Moreover, we
will host a hackathon where attendees can acquire hands-on experience on
some of the topics of the Summer School.
*Date and Location*: September 1st to September 4th, 2020 through Zoom
application.
*Registration:* Please visit our website (www.lacoro.org), where you can
find more information about invited speakers and corresponding schedule. We
extended the registration deadline until the 23rd August 2020 . This
Webinar will be free of charge.
If you have any questions about the school or the registration process,
please contact the organizing committee: lacoro(a)innovacionyrobotica.com
