WebinarsThe Human Machine Interaction [HMI] Lab under the guidance of the Center for International Economic and Technological Cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (People's Republic of China) and in partnership with both The Institute for Digital Economy and Artificial Systems [IDEAS] and The Research Center for Technological Innovation at Tsinghua University organises a series of webinars for 2024
Description and GoalsIn our series of webinars, we focus on the overarching implications and consequences of the ongoing AI revolution. We do so in the context of Digital Development and Artificial Systems with the goal of encouraging and promoting an inclusive and responsible digital transformation capable of addressing constraints on global digital divide; deepening cooperation in digitization, industrialization, and innovation. Our series also strives to deliver outcomes in connectivity and thus to increase trustful collaboration between Westerns and Chinese universities. Through this platform we therefore aim to foster and promote multidisciplinary, international academic dialogue.
Structure
The series begins [PART A] by providing a primer on the algorithms, techniques, and statistical methods used by computer scientists and by addressing [PART B] some foundational theoretical (epistemological and phenomenological) questions relevant to the issue of digital development/innovation. It continues [PART C] by broadly assessing -from the perspective of general policy making- the conditions for the application of these techniques in society (in fields such as government/management and healthcare). The series then reviews and evaluates [PART D] the merits, possibilities, and challenges associated to the widespread implementations of digital and artificial systems in ‘lived environments’ (in fields such industrial automation, green computing, internet of things). Finally, the series ends [PART E] by offering careful reflections on major ethical and privacy issues (ranging from algorithmic transparency, accountability, and fairness to responsibility, interpretability, and general security) related to digital development.
