Each network introduced its work in flash presentations and our project was represented by Passant Elagroudy. Afterwards, all networks had demos and ours about automatic creation of videos for stories using text prompts. It was presented by Victor Chitolina Schetinger and @rudolf rosa. Last but not least, Sven Mayer represented us in the panel discussion featuring all the projects about “Trustworthy AI”. Topics like what features make AI trustworthy, how will generative AI impact us, what is the impact of using AI on security and privacy were discussed and much more.
We hosted a half-day event on May 25th at the European Parliament, Paul-Henri Spaak Building, Rue Wiertz 60, 1047 Brussels, Belgium, titled Beyond ChatGPT: How can Europe get in front of the pack on Generative AI Models?, organized by a broad consortium from science and civil society.
The organizing committee included the HumanE-AI-Net European Network of Centres of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) under the auspices of UNESCO, the Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence in Europe (CLAIRE), and other ICT-48 networks such as TAILOR, AI4Media, and VISION, and language projects like ELG and ELE
The event was a sussces and included the following speakers: Paul Lukowicz, Cees Snoek, Fredrik Heintz, Ioannis Kompatsiaris, Virginia Dignum, Ieva Martinkenaite, Francesca Rossi, Holger Hoos, Marko Grobelnik, Catelijne Muller, Clara Neppel, Dino Pedreschi, and Cécile Huet.
On Tue 14. Mar we hosted online @ 17:00-18:00 the live lecture “Large Language Models are All we Need?” by Prof. Giuseppe Attardi, from the University of Pisa. The lecture discussed topics like the pros ad cons of using systems like ChatGPT and whether they’ll lead to discrimination.
The lecture is part of the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA), a joint initiative of the European R&D projects: us (Humane AI Net), AI4Media, ELISE, TAILOR, and VISION. It is currently being formed and the team is very pleased to offer you top-quality scientific lectures on several current hot AI topics.
THANKS to the amazing organization of Florian Müller, @Nađa Terzimehić, Sophia Sakel , Julian Rasch and Albrecht Schmidt , we have the closing of the “Symposium on Interaction with Technologies for Human Augmentation” #augmentsymp23 .. Good bye everyone AND looking forward to meet in future events 🥳🥳
We had talks from: Albrecht Schmidt professor at LMU Munich , Paul Lukowicz professor at DFKI,
@heidiki koiki professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Elisabeth André professor at Augsburg university, Shinichi Furuya senior researcher at Sony,
@asa ito associate professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Max Mühlhäuser professor at TU Darmstadt Hans Gellersen professor at Lancaster university Jun Rekimoto professor at the University of Tokyo

Shinichi Furuya , the neuroscientist in Sony labs who also doubles as a pianist .. telling us about the ceiling effect and sustainable development of skills .. for example you can train fingers to play faster AND the other untrained hand automatically moves as well! The exoskeleton training can overcome the ceiling effect!
Elisabeth André telling us about a system that helps visually impaired people to get tactile feedback when they fixate on something to help them get an experience closer to seeing .. and another system that gives you audio cues whether it’s a good idea to engage in social interactions or not in a large unknown group of people .. another system to train children with autism to do do movements using a tandem virtual character

Max Mühlhäuser telling us about the main issues in doing 3D virtual interactions: Error prone, static and privacy violating .. check the project MEX if you are interested in the domain.. also check Meta’s vs. Google’s interests in the virtual spectrum.
Asa Ito tells us we are not only controlled by our consciousness. The paradox in skill acquisition: what does it mean for a body to be able to do what it could not do?

Jun Rekimoto virtually joins us and tells us how we can use imaging to hear silent sounds! Also there are internships in Sony CSL for this summer linking human augmentation to Japanese culture.
The “Symposium on Interaction with Technologies for Human Augmentation” in Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München has started Paul Lukowicz told us about the vision to make language models really understand us. Albrecht Schmidt told us about technologies on demand to augment our basic senses like hearing further conversations and zooming to further options by just focusing. @Heidiki koike is telling us about technologies to enhance our motor skill acquisition, for example to skii better #augmentsymp23#humanaugmentation#amlifyERC#humaneAI

In a groundbreaking initiative, the HumaneAI project is delighted to announce that it will be supporting the esteemed MLSS Machine Learning Summer School in the picturesque locale of Stellenbosch, South Africa.
This decision underscores HumaneAI’s commitment to fostering a global community of machine learning enthusiasts and promoting human-centric AI education on an international scale.
HumaneAI’s involvement in this event is a testament to our broader mission: to transcend borders and engage with diverse communities, ensuring that the future of AI is not only advanced but also inclusive and rooted in human values.
HumaneAI partners generate a Network for Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge and SUStainable development – a nexus and central meeting point between AI and SDGs
The International Research Institute on AI under the auspices of UNESCO (IRCAI) at Jpzef Stefan Institute which is a core HumaneAI partner, officially launched its Network of Excellence NAIXUS; a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at bridging the gap between AI and sustainable development. The event was held online as part of the STI 2022 Forum on May 4 and was hosted by IRCAI and the Permanent Mission of Slovenia to the UN in New York and co-sponsored by the Permanent Mission of Japan to the UN and the Permanent Mission of South Africa to the UN.
Network for Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge and SUStainable development – a nexus and central meeting point between AI and SDGs
The main part of the agenda consisted of short presentations outlining the history, purpose, goals, composition, activities, programmes, and technology focus of the network with supporters and initial partners of the initiative to build this global network of centres of excellence for sustainable development.
Speakers at the event included John Shawe-Taylor, IRCAI Director and HumaneAI Network Scientific Coordinator; Paul Lukowitz, HumaneAI Network Coordinator; Davor Orlic, IRCAI Chief Operations Officer; Tshilidzi Marwala, Vice Chancellor and Principal, University of Johannesburg; Marielza Oliveira, Director of Partnerships and Operational Programme Monitoring, Communications and Information Sector, UNESCO, Alexandre F. Barbosa, Director Cetic, Samuel Kaski, Aalto University, ELISE Network Coordinator, Nuria Oliver, ELLIS Unit Alicante Foundation, Ambassador Boštjan Malovrh, Permanent Representative of Slovenia to the UN in New York, Maria Fasli, UNESCO Chair in Analytics and Data Science, Executive Dean, Faculty of Science and Health at University of Essex, Ambassador Tetsuya Kimura, Permanent Representative of Japan to the UN, Ulrich Paquet, Deep Learning Indaba, DeepMind, Nelson González, Head Global Impact Computing, AWS, Matthew Smith, Senior Program Specialist, IDRC, Kathleen Siminyu, Machine Learning Fellow, Mozilla Foundation, and Emmanuel Letouzé, Director Data-Pop Alliance.
The launch of this multistakeholder initiative was broadcast to the 2022 STI Forum audience, streamed live on social media, and followed directly on Zoom by 120 attendees.
The HumaneAI project has been successfully extended into the HumanE-AI-Net under the H2020 call topic ICT-48-2020 – Towards a vibrant European network of AI excellence centres which now gives the consortium 3 years to build and exciting new scientific domain.
The HumanE AI Net brings together top European research centers, universities and key industrial champions into a network of centers of excellence that goes beyond a narrow definition of AI and combines world-leading AI competence with key players in related areas such as HCI, cognitive science, social sciences and complexity science.
