Intelligence Augmentation - The Next-Gen AIMelanie Cook
Robotics and AI have integrated human and mechanical capabilities at work, with jobs lost and skills condensed to a keystroke. But human intelligence is far from obsolete.
With crowd-computing we have knowledge exchanges like Wiki, and real-time curated news. Semantic technology helps leaders to understand what is happening in the work place. But neurology shows that these leaders cannot make choices, and therefore take action, without emotion.
Augmented Intelligence takes human intuition and imagination, and combines it with AI’s ability to automate and scale, making the Intelligent Workplace hard to beat.

Designing AI for Humanity at dmi:Design Leadership Conference in BostonCarol Smith
As design leaders we must enable our teams with skills and knowledge to take on the new and exciting opportunities that building powerful AI systems bring. Dynamic systems require transparency regarding data provenance, bias, training methods, and more, to gain user’s trust. Carol will cover these topics and challenge us as design leaders, to represent our fellow humans by provoking conversations regarding critical ethical and safety needs.
Presented at dmi:Design Leadership Conference in Boston in October 2018.
The Future of Humanity
Through our interaction with machines, we develop emotional, human expectations of them. Alexa, for example, comes alive when we speak with it. AI is and will be a representation of its cultural context, the values and ethics we apply to one another as humans.
This machinery is eerily familiar as it mirrors us, and eventually becomes even smarter than us mere mortals. We’re programming its advantages based on how we see ourselves and the world around us, and we’re doing this at an incredible pace. This shift is pervading culture from our perceptions of beauty and aesthetics to how we interact with one another – and our AI.
Infused with technology, we’re asking: what does it means to be human?
Our report examines:
• The evolution of our empathy from humans to animals and robots
• How we treat AI in its infancy like we do a child, allowing it space to grow
• The spectrum of our emotional comfort in a world embracing AI
• The cultural contexts fueling AI biases, such as gender stereotypes, that drive the direction of AI
• How we place an innate trust in machines, more than we do one another
Methodology
For this report, sparks & honey conducted US-focused research on the future of AI. Together with Heartbeat AI Technologies, we examined the emotional sentiment (feeling and emotions) around artificial intelligence in a Heartbeat AI Pulse Survey of 150 people in the US. Tapping into our Influencer Advisory Board and proprietary cultural intelligence system, we combed through thousands of signals to build a vision of the future of AI. We also interviewed leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence: Potential Benefits and
Ethical Considerations
KEY FINDINGS
The ability of AI systems to transform vast amounts of complex, ambiguous
information into insight has the potential to reveal long-held secrets and help solve
some of the world’s most enduring problems.
However, like all powerful technologies, great care must be taken in its development
and deployment. To reap the societal benefits of AI systems, we will first need to trust
them and make sure that they follow the same ethical principles, moral values,
professional codes, and social norms that we humans would follow in the same
scenario. Research and educational efforts, as well as carefully designed regulations,
must be put in place to achieve this goal.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is actively engaged, both internally
as well as with its collaborators and competitors, in global discussions about how to
make AI ethical and as beneficial as possible for people as society.
1. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?
The term “artificial intelligence” (AI) has been mentioned for the first time in 1956 by John
McCarthy during a conference where several scientists decided to meet to see if machines could
be made intelligent. Since then, AI is usually defined as the capability of a computer
program to perform tasks or reasoning processes that we usually associate to intelligence
in a human being. Often it has to do with the ability to make a good decision even when there
is uncertainty or vagueness, or too much information to handle.
As an example, playing chess well, or some complex card games, is believed to need some
form of intelligence in a human being, as well as choosing the best diagnosis in a difficult
medical case, or creating something new, such as a mathematical theorem or even some form
of art, or even driving a car in the middle of a crowded city.
It is clear that this is a strange definition, because it depends on what we consider being
intelligent in the behaviour of a human being at a certain point in time. If our belief about
human intelligence changes, and we don't believe any longer that a certain task requires
intelligence, then a computer program performing that task is no longer part of AI, it becomes
just another boring computer program.
The term “artificial intelligence” brings to mind to the notion of replacing human intelligence
with something synthetic. At IBM, we prefer the term “augmented intelligence”. This means
that we aim to build systems that enhance and scale human expertise and skills rather than
replacing them. We therefore focus on practical applications of discrete AI capabilities that
assist people in performing well-defined tasks, by exploiting a wide range of AI-based services.

Developing a coding program is important if you want to teach your community various programming languages. However, the challenge is which language to choose. Do you train towards the blast to the past with Cobolt or a little more recent with HTML? Or currently, used technologies like PHP or C++? Or what if you wanted to showcase technology that is up and coming, like programming in AI and learning python? Whatever the use case, this session works through the different languages you can code, their applications in the real world, and resources for developing programs at your library for all ages.
Using AI at the Library - SWFLN Makerpalooza - Session 2Brian Pichman
AI can be used in a variety of different ways. During this session, we will focus on how AI can be used within the library, including: running an AI programming class, using AI to answer simple questions, and utilizing AI to create posts, tweets, photos, and even videos for our library. Leave this session with a variety of AI tools you can start using in your library!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

AI – Implications for Libraries !
What do you need to think about before bringing advanced
technology into your community, library or organization? How do you
introduce it to staff? Will they worry about being replaced or losing
their jobs? And how do you get machines to operate at optimal
efficiency? Machines need to learn to be effective, whether it’s Siri,
Alexa, or Watson. And people have to adapt to the machines. Join us

From Patterns to Automation
AI Models
The idea is that an algorithm will sift through the data, learn from it, and apply it to make a decision. This can be seen in any recommendation type
service. Machine Learning takes it a step farther by automating tasks; helping data security firms identify potential threats or finance looking for
favorable deals.
AI’s can be Transactional in which a question is asked and an answer is given, like a virtual assistant. AI’s can also be Automated in which routine
tasks such automatically taking trash out on garbage day.
