Call for Registration: thinkBIG Workshop on the Ethical and Social Challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence
\nLocation: Cumberland Lodge\, The Great Park\, Windsor\, SL4 2HP
\nDate &\; Time: 25th June 2018\, 09:30&ndash\;18:00
\nThethinkBIG project(Nello Cristianini\, University of Bristol) invites registrations for a one-day workshop on &lsquo\;The Ethical and Social Challenges Posed by Artificial Intelligence&rsquo\;\, to be held at Cumberland Lodge\, Windsor.
\nThe rapid adoption of AI and data technologies in everyday life has created new opportunities but also risks that were not considered before. Among them are concerns about privacy\, fairness\, transparency\, and accountability\, which arise from devolving many consequential decisions to machines. There are also concerns about public opinion\, employment and individual autonomy and wellbeing\, particularly when those decisions are made on the basis of personal data.
\nIn this workshop we will review the main challenges\, with an eye to identifying positive contributions that we can make\, either in a technical or in a conceptual way. Among the questions that will be asked and debated\, are "can machine-decisions ever be unbiased?"\, "are we entitled to an explanation?"\, "how do we embrace the benefits of AI without accepting also the risks?\, and "how can policy makers regulate a fast moving technical field?"
