Social Machines: The coming collision of Artificial Intelligence, Social Netw...James Hendler
Will your next doctor be a human being—or a machine? Will you have a choice? If you do, what should you know before making it?This book introduces the reader to the pitfalls and promises of artificial intelligence (AI) in its modern incarnation and the growing trend of systems to "reach off the Web" into the real world. The convergence of AI, social networking, and modern computing is creating an historic inflection point in the partnership between human beings and machines with potentially profound impacts on the future not only of computing but of our world and species.AI experts and researchers James Hendler—co-originator of the Semantic Web (Web 3.0)—and Alice Mulvehill—developer of AI-based operational systems for DARPA, the Air Force, and NASA—explore the social implications of AI systems in the context of a close examination of the technologies that make them possible. The authors critically evaluate the utopian claims and dystopian counterclaims of AI prognosticators. Social Machines: The Coming Collision of Artificial Intelligence, Social Networking, and Humanity is your richly illustrated field guide to the future of your machine-mediated relationships with other human beings and with increasingly intelligent machines.
Keynote on "Social Machines: Democratisation, Disintermediation, and Citizens at Scale" presented at the Web Science and Big Data Analytics Conference on Information Transparency and Digital Democracy, Tuesday, 25th August 2015, Jakarta Indonesia
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.
Despite many attempts to perturb a scholarly publishing system that is over 350 years old, it feels pretty much like business as usual. I argue that we have become trapped inside the machine, and if we want to change it in an informed way we need to step outside and take a look. First I describe my lens—what I mean by a social machine, and the scholarly social machines ecosystem.
I close with a list of questions that could be workshop discussion points. Presented at the ESWC 2017 Workshop on Enabling Decentralised Scholarly Communication, Portorož - Portorose, May 2017.
This article is a response to the Call for Linked Research. The essay is currently available on www.oerc.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/users/user384/scholarly-social-machines.html

Knowing what AI Systems Don't know and Why it mattersJames Hendler
A discussion of chatGPT and some other examples with respect to accuracy and other issues - a general background talk for those interested in the subject
Exploring the Boundaries of Artificial Intelligence (or "Modern AI")James Hendler
A discussion of the strengths and limitations of some current AI systems including chatGPT and DALL-E. Originally presented at University of Leicester Feb 2023.
The original abstract, title and bio were generated by chatGPT -- the first three slides show corrections -- original talk announcement included:
"Please note: The title, abstract and Hendler’s bio above were written by “GPT3,” a modern AI system. It contains information which is both correct and incorrect. That will be the topic of this talk."
Presentation at "International knowledge graph workshop" at KDD 2020. The short overview talk shows how we have moved from Semantic Web to Linked Data to Knowledge Graphs. We argue that the same "a little semantics goes a long way" principle from the early days of the Semantic Web still is needed today -- some lessons learned and steps ahead are outlined.

On Beyond OWL: challenges for ontologies on the WebJames Hendler
The need for ontologies in the real world is manifest and increasing. On the Web, ontologies are everywhere — but OWL isn’t. In this talk, I look at some of the things that are not in OWL, but which are needed for the use of OWL in many Web domains. This talk explores some of the needs for ontologies on the Web in data integration, emerging technologies, and linked data applications – and asks where the features needed for these are in OWL. The talk ends with some challenges to the OWL, and greater ontology, community needed to see more eventual use of standard ontologies on the Web.
A 1015 update to the 2012 "Data Big and Broad" talk - http://www.slideshare.net/jahendler/data-big-and-broad-oxford-2012 - extends coverage, brings more in context of recent "big data" work.
This talk presents areas of investigation underway at the Rensselaer Institute for Data Exploration and Applications. First presented at Flipkart, Bangalore India, 3/2015.
A talk presented at IBM's "Academy of Technology" exploring, in brief, what the research community has to learn from Watson (and the techniques derived therefrom) and some new research ideas that can be explored therefrom. All known proprietary information from either IBM or RPI has been removed from the original talk.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
