What is the purpose of the HumaneAI European Parliament event?

We would like to suggest 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, including the HumanE-AI-Net European Network of Centres of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence.

HumanE-AI-Net is a research network of leading European universities, AI institutes, and corporations funded by Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) and dedicated to benefiting people’s empowerment through the scientific and technological development of AI, in accordance with European ethical, social, and cultural values.

Other European partners and communities that support this event and will be involved in its organization are 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 Beyond ChatGPT aims to bring together AI experts, policymakers, and other stakeholders to demystify and critically examine some of the key concepts and concerns, and to provide an opportunity for a well-grounded discussion of the question of what needs to be done to ensure that European economies and societies will benefit from the development and deployment of AI technologies, such as LLMs.

Which questions will be addressed?

  1. To which extent does Europe have the capability and capacity to compete with US-based industries on LLMs and similarly impactful AI technologies?
  2. What can and must be done to ensure European competitiveness in this area?
  3. How can we best harness the opportunities afforded by the latest AI technologies for the benefit of European economies and societies? What role does the proposed AI Act play in this context?
  4. Which of the widely debated risks are real, and how should these be addressed? Is there a need for a moratorium or similar restrictions on research and innovation in key areas of AI?

What is the rationale?

Artificial intelligence has been an intense focus of public debate in recent years, and – following recent progress in so-called large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGTP – is now an area of increasingly vigorous economic activity and societal concerns.

Europe carries the responsibility of shaping the AI revolution. The choices we face today are related to fundamental ethical issues about the impact of AI on society, in particular, how it affects labor, social interactions, healthcare, privacy, fairness, and security. The ability to make the right choices requires new solutions to fundamental scientific questions in AI and human-computer interaction (HCI).

What is the vision?

This vision closely follows the ambitions articulated by the EC in its Communication on AI:  A European brand of AI that, by design, is trustworthy, adheres to European ethical, political, and social norms, and focuses on the benefit to European citizens as individuals, European society and the European economy.  At the heart of our vision is the understanding that those ambitions can neither be achieved by legislation or political directives alone nor by traditional research in established disciplinary “silos”. Instead, it needs fundamentally new solutions to core research problems at the Interface of AI, human-computer interaction (HCI), and social science, combining theory, real-world use cases, and innovation-oriented research.

What are we trying to achieve?

The HumaneAI community aims to develop the scientific foundations and technological breakthroughs needed to shape the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) revolution to fit the above vision. Key challenges include: learning complex world models; building effective and fully explainable machine learning systems; adapting AI systems to dynamic, open-ended real-world environments achieving an in-depth understanding of humans and complex social contexts; and enabling self-reflection within AI systems.

What will be the impact?

The HumanE AI community has mobilized a research landscape far beyond the direct project funding and brought together a unique innovation ecosystem.  This has the potential for significant disruption across its socio-economic impact areas, including Industry 4.0, health & well-being, mobility, education, policy, and finance. We aim to spearhead the efforts required to help Europe achieve a step-change in AI uptake across the economy.

Why are we the best to do it?

The project consortium, with 53 institutions across 20 European countries, advocates that Artificial Intelligence is made by us humans, European researchers and citizens, who care deeply about the future of AI in Europe and its use for the benefit of all Europeans.

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to contribute over $15 Billion to the global economy by 2030 (PWC) and shape the future of human society. A critical challenge for the industry to live up to its potential is the need for more diversity in the development, research, application, and evaluation of new AI technology. With their series “Remarkable Women in AI,” the AI Competence Center at German Entrepreneurship and the Transatlantic AI eXchange invite all genders to a series of inspirational, educational, collaborative, and global discussions on gender diversity in AI – with the aim of inspiring attendees to take steps in their respective roles to address the gender gap in AI.

Target Audience
This event is directed towards all gender students, entrepreneurs and women in research institutions and corporations.

Background

#ShareTheFailure - We change the view on failure.

On February 6th we will continue with FuckupNights®Munich Vol.3 Artificial Intelligence.

◉F_ckuppers tell stories about burned money, personnel decisions that led to total failure and products that had to be recalled. They tell it all, with us on stage.

🔥 The idea comes from Mexico, where five friends realized that it takes a very humid evening to let your pants down instead of adulating each other about professional successes. In other words, to tell the stories that no one includes in their résumé. Because without failure there is no success.◉

◉ CURRENT:

✅ Check-in 6:00 p.m.

✅ Start 6.30 p.m.

✅ End approx. 21.00 hrs.

This project aims to take seriously the fact that the development and deployment of AI systems is not above the law, as decided in constitutional democracies. This feeds into the task of addressing the question of incorporation of fundamental rights protection into the architecture of AI systems including (1) checks and balances of the Rule of Law and (2) requirements imposed by positive law that elaborates fundamental rights protection.

A key result of this task will be a report on a coherent set of design principles firmly grounded in relevant positive law, with a clear emphasis on European law (both EU and Council of Europe). To help developers understand the core tenets of the EU legal framework, we have developed two tutorials, one in 2020 on Legal Protection by Design in relation to EU data protection law [hyperlink to Tutorial 2020] and one in 2021 on the European Commission’s proposal of an EU AI Act [hyperlink to Tutorial 2021]. In the Fall of 2022 we will follow up with a Tutorial on the proposed EU AI Liability Directive.

Our findings will entail: - A sufficiently detailed overview of legally relevant roles, such as end-users, targeted persons, software developers, hardware manufacturers, those who put AI applications on the market, platforms that integrate service provision both vertical and horizontal, providers of infrastructure (telecom providers, cloud providers, providers of cyber-physical infrastructure, smart grid providers, etc.);

A sufficiently detailed legal vocabulary, explained at the level of AI applications, such as legal subjects, legal objects, legal rights and obligations, private law liability, fundamental rights protection; - High level principles that anchor the Rule of Law: transparency (e.g. explainability, preregistration of research design), accountability (e.g. clear attribution of tort liability, fines by relevant supervisors, criminal law liability), contestability (e.g. the repertoire of legal remedies, adversarial structure of legal procedure).

Lecture series for Tutorial 2021 AI Act

 

This tutorial explains, in the form of slides with audio, the proposal for an EU AI Act, as proposed by the European Commission in the Spring of 2021. It does not discuss the subsequently proposed amendments.

Key issues discussed are: (1) the overall architecture of the AI, (2) the pragmatic approach to the definition of AI systems (which is not about ‘AI’ but about ‘AI systems’), (3) the different roles, notably that of the providers of these systems, (4) the emphasis on high risk AI systems and (5) the details of the requirement that must be met by all high risk systems. It also explain what AI practices are prohibited and what transparency requirements must be met by a small set of AI systems.

Topics of interest include:

  • Government transparency and IT against corruption

  • Public safety and disaster relief

  • Access to food, water, sanitation and utilities

  • Efficiency and sustainability

  • Climate change

  • Data journalism

  • Social and personal development

  • Economic growth and improved infrastructure

  • Transportation

  • Energy

Background

The European HumanE AI Network aims to leverage the synergies between the involved centers of excellence to develop the scientific foundations and technological breakthroughs needed to shape the AI revolution in a direction that is beneficial to humans both individually and societally, and that adheres to European ethical values and social, cultural, legal, and political norms. The core challenge is the development of robust, trustworthy AI systems capable of what could be described as “understanding” humans, adapting to complex real-world environments, and appropriately interacting in complex social settings. The aim is to facilitate AI systems that enhance human capabilities and empower individuals and society as a whole, while respecting human autonomy and self-determination.

This conference aims at present and highlights the research directions, methods and results of the network’s activities, with a specific focus on our micro-projects: our  unique collaboration model that allows agile interaction between partners, interfacing related activities outside the project and easy engagement with researchers outside the consortium.

The conference will take place at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm on 16 November 2022, as a twin event with the 3rd Conference on AI for Humanity and Society (AI4HS) organised by WASP-HS in the same location on 17 November 2022. All participants are invited to attend both conferences (please note you need to register separately to the AI4HS conference).

All HumanE AI network members and collaboration partners are invited to submit a proposal for the HumanE AI conference. All micro projects (past and current) are strongly advised to submit.
