IRSE 4th Presidential Lecture - Responsible Human-AI Socialisation
About this Event
This talk will cover the latest research by a global Community of philanthropic AI Practitioners on the necessity and structural features for a Charter addressing the underpinnings of Human-AI Socialisation.
Artificial intelligence systems can be classified along a spectrum of autonomy and generality. On one end are narrow AI systems that provide specific outputs based on bounded inputs, operating as tools to augment human intelligence. On the other end is artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial super intelligence (ASI)–AI systems that can match or exceed human-level performance across a wide range of cognitive tasks. The process and the outcome of an 18-month research into a framework for a symbiotic coexistence and flourishing of biological and the rapidly advancing and pervasive synthetic intelligence will be presented.The main focus of the talk is on the Autonomous Decision Making and Algorithmic Learning (AI) Systems and the context of the exploratory research at the AI Community of Practice.
In conjunction with IRSE London & South East Section
