CIS Webinar on The Social and Ethical Implications Of Computational Intelligence (May 17)

Webinar Title: The Social and Ethical Implications Of Computational Intelligence

Webinar Speaker: Dr Matt Garratt, University of New South Wales

Date: 17^th May 2018 at 09:00 BST.

Abstract: Computational Intelligence (CI) is a term encompassing a basket of soft-computing methodologies used to solve problems that are not suited to solution by mathematical or other traditional methods. CI techniques include technologies such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, deep learning, evolutionary computation and cognitive and developmental systems. Today, CI techniques are embodied within many technologies ranging from autonomous driverless cars to automated decision making on the stock exchange. These technologies already have a significant positive effect on the global economy and when used properly can greatly enhance the lives of many people. There are however risks with misuse of CI. In this webinar, we will discuss what the moral principles should be that govern the behaviour of CI technology, as well as the designer. These principles cover balancing the ecological footprint of technologies against the economic benefits, managing the impact of automation on the workforce, ensuring privacy is not adversely affected and dealing with the legal implications of embodying CI technologies in autonomous systems.

CFP: IEEE SMC 2018 Special Session on Soft Computing: Optimization and Machine Learning with Subjective Criteria (Apr 14)

Paper Submission for C13

SMC2018:C13 submission site (external site)

Abstracts

Multiple real-world applications often involve subjective criteria and constraints that are as important, if not more, in facilitating successful decision making with humans. Soft computing techniques that use heuristic optimization algorithms as well as machine learning techniques can provide effective means for representing “soft” criteria and “soft” data into decision analysis frameworks and tools. This special session invites researchers and practitioners to present and discuss challenges as well as the state of the art advances in soft computing research that is progressing how the “human” subjectivity is incorporated into decision making methods and tools.
