SUMMARY:Soheil Human: Towards a Cognitive Information Economy: Dealing with the Personalisation-Privacy Paradox by Computational Cognitive Modelling of Human Needs and Values
DESCRIPTION:Need satisfaction plays a fundamental role in human wellbeing. This notwithstanding\, the concept of need has not yet found its place in information systems and online tools. Furthermore\, assessing needs itself remains a labor-intensive\, mostly offline activity\, where only a limited support by computational tools is available. In this talk\, first\, I present OpeNeeD\, a family of ontologies for representing human needs data. Then\, I introduce Polyphony\, an ontology for representing epistemic disagreements\, and discuss how Polyphony can contribute in development of pluralist ontologies for representing human needs and values. Later\, by proposing the concept of cognitive information economy\, I discuss how the personalisation-privacy paradox can be dealt with computational cognitive models of human needs satisfaction.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Regulating Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:‘I am pessimistic about AI but an optimist because of will’\nArtificial intelligence and big data are taking an increasingly important place in our everyday life. What used to be once a niche research topic in computer science\, has become now the main leverage of the digital revolution. From this perspective AI is becoming a major strategic tool in hand of states and large corporates to shape the future. In this talk\, we will first attempt a taxonomy of different ways algorithms and AI are used as society changer tools. After a critical assessment of the different categories we will describe how various countries (USA\, China\, Europe\, etc.…) are currently integrating AI into their national development strategies and evaluate the benefit and risks involved with these strategies. \n  \nEvent Program \n10:00 – 10:05: Introduction and Overview: Dr. Ben Wagner\, WU Vienna \n10:05 – 11:00: Regulating Artificial Intelligence: Prof. Dr. Kave Salamatian\, University of Savoie \n11:00 – 11:15: Governance of Algorithms: Dr. Florian Saurwein\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \n11:15 – 12:25: Discussion \n12:25 – 12:30: Concluding remarks: Dr. Ben Wagner\, WU Vienna \n  \nAbout the Speakers: \nKave Salamatian\, PhD\, is a professor of computer science at University of Savoie and Fellow at the Centre for Internet & Human Rights (CIHR). His main areas of researches are Internet measurement\, modelling and networking information theory. He was previously reader at Lancaster University\, UK and associate professor at University Pierre et Marie Curie. Kavé has graduated with a Phd in Computer Science in 1998 from Paris SUD-Orsay university\, where he worked on joint source channel coding applied to multimedia transmission over Internet \nIn a former life\, he graduated with a MBA\, and worked on market floor as a risk analyst and on enjoyed being an urban traffic modeler for some years. In particular\, he is interested in cyber strategy and explaining that guaranteeing freedom of speech and equal access to network is not only a human right obligation by is also the wisest strategic decision that a government can take in Internet domain. \nFlorian Saurwein is a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Comparative Media and Communication Studies (CMC)\, Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Alpen-Adria-University Klagenfurt. He is part of the ‘Media Accountability & Media Change’ Research Group\, where he leads the Tripple A research project on Algorithms\, Automation and Accountability. He previously worked at the Institute of Mass Communication and Media Research of the University of Zurich and completed his PhD at the University of Vienna.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Javier D. Fernández: Green Big Data
DESCRIPTION:As more and more systems and personal devices become pervasive and interoperable\, an increasing amount of sensitive and interconnected data is prone to vulnerability\, which leads to the question how Big Data potential for business\, science and society can be balanced with societal expectations in terms of data protection and privacy legislation. In this talk\, we will introduce some of the open technical challenges around the implementation of the new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how our project “SPECIAL”\, a H2020 research and innovation action\, provides tools for enterprises to run their Big Data-driven businesses in a privacy-aware manner.
