The Humanities and the Rise of AI - Luxembourg, 14-18 June 2020 --------------- http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=97474&copyownerid=… The Humanities and the Rise of AI Implications of Cultural and Societal Engineering Organized by the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences in cooperation with the Department of Computer Science (University of Luxembourg) We invite paper presentations of 20 minutes in one of our 4 sections (see below): Submission deadline for abstracts (up to 2 pages) January 31, 2020 - please send to: cfp(a)endsofthehumanities.com<mailto:cfp@endsofthehumanities.com> Travel grants for early career researchers are available. For further information, please visit http://endsofthehumanities.com/wp/travel-grants/ Digitization and the rise of artificial intelligence forecast radical change on all aspects of human practice, especially given the ever-improving abilities of algorithms in tasks like pattern recognition and their practical application. Powerful technology arises from AI research, opening the gate for various forms of cultural and societal engineering, i.e., a reshaping of culture and society by dint of algorithmic models and ‘intelligent’ applications. Although the development of artificial intelligence is still in its beginnings, it has already triggered an enormous rush of utopian and dystopian thinking. While some dream of immortality and the vanquishing of poverty, disease, and warfare, others foresee a grim future for those parts of humanity that will find themselves outpaced by technology. Potential consequences of the changes imposed by technological advancement on human practice reach from the level of the individual, through cultural techniques, to the organization of society as a whole, raising fundamental questions which we will address in the four sections of the conference resp. special events. Special events are planned by the AI-team around the topics "Social robotics" and "A technological roadmap for AI after 2050". We consider a special issue of a high-ranked journal for extended versions of high-quality computer-science-oriented contributions. More information will be provided in the coming months. Invited speakers include, among others: -------------------------------------- - Armin Grunwald (Head of Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis, KIT, Karlsruhe ) - Koen V. Hindriks (Prof. Artificial intelligence, VU Amsterdam, focusing on Social Robotics, Co-Founder "Interactive Robotics") - Lyse Langlois (Scientific director of the International Observatory of the Societal Impact of AI and Digitization, Université Laval) Luís Moniz Pereira (Prof. emeritus of Computer Science at the New university of Lisbon, author of several books on Machine Ethics) - Giuseppe Longo (Prof. emeritus, Centre Cavaillès, CNRS, Collège de France & Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris) - Jan Broersen (Professor of logical methods in AI, University of Utrecht, ERC on Responsible Intelligent Systems 2013-18) - Raja Chatila (Sorbonne, Paris, Professor and director of the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics) - Marija Slavkovik (Associate Professor, University of Bergen, Norway, Advisory group on Ethical, Legal, Social Issues of CLAIRE) Conference sections: -------------------- • Section I – Mind and Consciousness: How does artificial intelligence impact our understanding of the human mind, especially in relation to the role of its computational equivalents that reach more and more aspects of everyday life (e.g., chatbots, driverless mobility, risk assessment software in the banking and insurance sector)? • Section II – Learning and Inventing What are the consequences of digitization and machine learning algorithms for education and our understanding of learning and creativity (e.g., in schooling through adaptive tutors, but also against the background of our current notion of creativity as a unique human ability)? • Section III – Reading and Data Modeling How will the increasing use of computational methodology change the ways we relate to the past and envision the future (e.g., by reading), both in academia and in society? How can the enrichment of algorithmic models with methods and results from the humanities shape and improve computational assessment of human practice (e.g., data mining of big text corpora, automated translation, racial bias in neural networks)? • Section IV – Complexity and Control: How does the use of artificial intelligence in all domains of human practice influence how we deal with complexity (e.g., of society) and human control thereof? Can computational methods help to reduce, organize, and analyze cultural complexity, or do they pose a threat to human control over different aspects of the lifeworld (e.g., security and network technology, automation of industrial production, autonomous weaponry)? Against the background of such questions, the conference aims to foster an open and critical reflection on the consequences of cultural and societal engineering. The conference investigates not only opportunities and shortcomings of AI research, but also implications and potential structural effects of technological innovation for the organization of societal practice (e.g., work) and techniques of cultural self-reflection (e.g., history). It will not only ask what technologies can do (or will be able to do in the future), but also how these capabilities can be compared and related to their human equivalents, e.g., perception, cognition, and communication.

Submissions on any topics of datacenter, cloud and bigdata performance are welcome. Submission site will remain open until Jan. 8th, 2020. Cloud data centers are the backbone infrastructure for tomorrow's information technology. Their advantages are efficient resource provisioning and low operational costs for supporting a wide range of computing needs, be it in business, scientific or mobile/pervasive environments. Because of the rapid growth in user-defined and user-generated applications and content, the range of services provided at data centers will expand tremendously and unpredictably. Particularly, big data applications and services, e.g., social and environmental sensing, and IoT monitoring, present a unique class of challenges in the Cloud. In addition, the high volume of mixed workloads and the diversity of services offered render the performance optimization of data centers even more challenging. Moreover, important optimization criteria, such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs, are often conflicting. The increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas adds another dimension to optimizing big data and cloud applications. The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems for hosting big data analytics in the cloud.

These authors will also be invited to expand their contributions into articles for publication in the Ada User Journal, as part of the proceedings of the Industrial Program of the Conference. *** Awards Ada-Europe will offer an honorary award for the best presentation. *** Call for Educational Tutorials The conference is seeking tutorials in the form of educational seminars including hands-on or practical demonstrations. Proposed tutorials can be from any part of the reliable software domain, they may be purely academic or from an industrial base making use of tools used in current software development environments. We are also interested in contemporary software topics, such as IoT and artificial intelligence and their application to reliability and safety. Tutorial proposals shall include a title, an abstract, a description of the topic, an outline of the presentation, the proposed duration (half day or full day), and the intended level of the tutorial (introductory, intermediate, or advanced). All proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Educational Tutorial Chair. The authors of accepted full-day tutorials will receive a complimentary conference registration. For half-day tutorials, this benefit is halved. The Ada User Journal will offer space for the publication of summaries of the accepted tutorials. *** Call for Workshops Workshops on themes that fall within the conference scope may be proposed. Proposals may be submitted for half- or full-day events, to be scheduled at either end of the conference days. Workshop proposals should be submitted by e-mail to the Workshop Chair. The workshop organizer shall also commit to producing the proceedings of the event, for publication in the Ada User Journal. *** Call for Exhibitors The commercial exhibition will span the core days of the main conference. Vendors and providers of software products and services should contact the Exhibition Chair for information and for allowing suitable planning of the exhibition space and time. *** Special Registration Fees Authors of accepted contributions and all students will enjoy reduced registration fees. *** Venue Santander is a nice tourist city in the north of Spain, with a well-connected airport and at a 100 km drive from Bilbao airport.
