K4A is a partner in the HumanE AI network of excellence which has been running a program of micro-projects and there is a potential to link this with the Network for AI and Knowledge for Sustainable Development (NAiXUS) established jointly by the International Research Centre on AI under the Auspices of UNESCO, the DataPop Alliance, Knowledge 4 All Foundation, ELLIS Alicante UNIT and Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br). The Humane AI has funds reserved to finance the involvement of external partners and this call is concerned with micro-projects that would like to leverage these funds to include NAiXUS partners. Check here for the opportunity.
After the HumaneAI project setup phase, initiating the internal and external collaboration mechanisms the first 18 months were focused on engaging with the research questions posed in the proposal within WPs 1-5 and conducting a series of concrete high-impact activities to connect to the community. Nearly 70 micro projects spanning the large majority of the project partners have been initiated resulting in 82 project publications, incl. Nature, PNAS, Phys.Rev, Artificial Intelligence etc papers.
A major result of this work has been the updated research agenda which includes a novel conceptual framework for human-AI collaboration, a notion of shared representations centered around of narratives and the expansion of the definition of AI trustworthiness and explainability in terms of human-computer interaction (systems that humans (both individually and as a society) feel they understand and are comfortable trusting rather than systems that “only” fulfill certain hard technical specification).
Society is undergoing a revolution in artificial intelligence (AI), with huge potential benefits, but also major risks for individuals and society. Increasingly, trust in the development, deployment, and the use of AI and autonomous systems concerns not only the technology’s inherent properties, but also the socio-technical systems of which they are part of, that is, the people, organisations, and societal environments in which systems are developed, implemented, and used. Currently, major challenges include the lack of fundamental theory and models to analyse and ensure that systems are aligned with human values and ethical principles, accountable, open to inspection, and understandable to diverse stakeholders. Furthermore, there is no doubt that this technological shift will have revolutionary effects on human life and society.
The goal of this Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops was to contribute to shape that revolution, to provide the scientific and technological foundations for designing and deploying AI systems that work in partnership with human beings, to enhance human capabilities rather than replace human intelligence. Fundamentally new solutions are needed for core research problems in AI and human-computer interaction (HCI), especially to help people understand actions recommended or performed by AI systems and to facilitate meaningful interaction between humans and AI systems.
June 26 – July 1 , 2022, Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 22262
This was the EU-funded HumanE-AI-Net project meeting which brought together leading European research centres, universities and industrial enterprises into a network of centres of excellence. Leading global artificial intelligence (AI) laboratories collaborate with key players in areas, such as human-computer interaction, cognitive, social and complexity sciences. The project is looking forward to drive researchers out of their narrowly focused field and connect them with people exploring AI on a much wider scale. The challenge is to develop robust, trustworthy AI systems that can ‘understand’ humans, adapt to complex real-world environments and interact appropriately in complex social settings. HumanE-AI-Net will lay the foundations for designing the principles for a new science that will make AI based on European values and closer to Europeans.

The HumaneAI project, delivering the roadmap for a new science in Artificial Intelligence, has met in Den Haag, the Netherlands in order to understand the scope for the H2020 call on European Network of Artificial Intelligence Excellence Centres.
The Humane AI 3rd meeting was held on 10-11 October 2019 in Den Haag with all partners attending.

My blue sky project for AI is to make better humans, to improve the quality of life, to enable humans to do things that they perhaps couldn’t do before, to make people better than the best people out there currently.

My bluesky project is to understand what is the interplay between huge amount of small pieces of AI, that work together to build a collective AI system.
