[meetings] Call for Participation: New Foundations for Human-Centered AI

by Alessandro Saffiotti

====================================================================== = 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. PROGRAM ------- See the full program at the workshop web site: http://nehuai2020.aass.oru.se/ REGISTRATION ------------ The workshop is part of ECAI-2020, the European Conference on AI. To attend the workshop, you must register at https://digital.ecai2020.eu (free registration). ORGANIZERS ---------- Alessandro Saffiotti (Orebro University, Sweden) Luciano Serafini (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy) Paul Lukowicz (DFKI, Kaiserslautern, Germany) SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS ------------------------ This worskhop is jointly organized by AI4EU (ai4eu.eu), the EU landmark project to develop a European AI on-demand platform and ecosystem; and by Humane-AI (humane-ai.eu), the EU FET preparatory action devoted to designing a European research agenda for Human Centered AI. ======================================================================

[Call for Participation] Latin American Summer School on Cognitive Robotics

by Latin American Summer School on Cognitive Robotics

https://www.lacoro.org 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 Best regards from the organizing committee,
