HumaneAI-Net partners receive an ERC grant

Congratulations to one of the consortium leaders Antti Oulasvirta on receiving the ERC grant, one of the most prestigious funds in Europe for scientists to pursue their personal research vision.

Olli Ikkala’s project is broadly related to reducing the harmful pollutants associated with the resource-intensive dye and pigment industry. Structural colours based on light reflection are being extensively developed as part of the research into sustainable development.

🗨️‘Could it be possible in the future to change the structural colours, for example with light? Could colours adapt like in biology?’

Antti Oulasvirta creates computational models of human behaviour, thought processes and experiences. He believes that humanity would get a great deal more out of technology like AI if computers had a better understanding of their users.

🗨️‘It is not enough for us that our user model works, but if we succeed, we will also have the opportunity to talk to the user model within the operating environment.’

Vili Lehdonvirta’s project examines the geopolitics of digital infrastructures. Data storage and processing are moving from local devices to hyperscale data centres in a “reverse personal computing revolution”.

🗨️‘I seek for the first time to map this changing geography of computation and uncover how different states are attempting to shape it to their advantage.’

Three of our professors just received the Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). Congratulations Olli Ikkala, Antti Oulasvirta, Vili Lehdonvirta, and all their collaborators!

HumaneAI meeting in Sweden

The first day of Humane AI meeting in universum building, Umeå University. we focused on pushing and further developing 4 bigger blocks projects (macroprojects): benchmarking for human-AI collaboration using GenAI models, ethical metrics for humane AI, learning using GenAI, and impact of genAI on the society.

LWM Hackathon delivered

In the last 2 days, Humane AI Net co-organized a hackathon to enhance research productivity in collaboration with dAIEDGE, @ENFIELD, Societal COmmunication in times of PErmacrisis (SCOPE), Start2 Group and Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI).

Participants used ChatGPT to prototype tools quickly to help scientists and create a startup. 24 participants competed through 8 teams and presented their ideas. They were juried by academic and industrial researchers as well as entrepreneurs: Kaisa Väänänen (Prof. in Tampere University), Jie Li (Research head in EPAM Systems Netherlands), Alain Pagani (Principle Investigator in Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI)) and Andreas Keilhacker (Exosystem lead in Start2 Group)

We had 3 winners

1. Team 🥇: Data Scribe by Salma Wafa, Olga Zagovora, and Lars Krupp
They created a tool to summarize related work + fetch all relevant resources like GitHub & other ones you missed.

2. Team 🥈 : Swansons Scholary Insights by Niklas H., Giacomo Zamprogno, Dimitris Alivanistos, and Leon Eshuijs
They created a tool using the (swanson) method to discover impactful papers and deduce new hypotheses by linking them from different domains.

3. Team 🥉 : Shower wisdom by Hend ElDamaty, Michaela Vollmer, and Jan Tauberschmidt
They created a tool to capture thoughts during showers and give you quick audio feedback on whether pursuing them is a good idea.

Congratulations to all the winners 🎉🎉We are very proud and impressed by all the outcomes.

The event is organized by Siobhan O’Neill, Anastasiya Zakreuskaya, Mohamed Selim, Joanna Sorysz, Passant Elagroudy, Marco Hirsch, Stefan Gerd Fritsch, Sebastian Vollmer, and Paul Lukowicz.

The central challenge of HumaneAI is not merely technical but also philosophical: How can we cultivate AI systems that are not only technically robust but also profoundly humane? Our mission is to develop AI platforms that can resonate with human emotions, adapt seamlessly to multifaceted real-world environments, and interact meaningfully within intricate social contexts.

This recent commendation by the European Commission serves as a testament to our commitment and the strides we have made so far. It propels us further in our pursuit to establish the bedrock principles of a novel scientific approach that envisions AI systems aligned with European values, bringing them closer to the aspirations and needs of European citizens.

As we bask in this moment of recognition, we remain deeply cognizant of the journey ahead. We are more determined than ever to ensure that the future of AI not only resonates with cutting-edge technology but also with the very essence of human values, aspirations, and well-being.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to all our collaborators, partners, and the entire HumaneAI community for their relentless dedication and contributions. Together, we’re not just pioneering technological advancements, but sculpting the very future of how humans and AI coalesce.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey in shaping the AI of tomorrow, today.
