He is an author of 11 books and over 100 articles and chapters, on topics including needs assessments, program evaluation, and educational technologies. He is co-host of the Parsing Science podcast, and developer of the We Share Science and SciencePods web apps. > > Abstract: > Throughout their history, Homo sapiens have used technologies to better satisfy their needs. The relation between needs and technology is so fundamental that the US National Research Council defined the distinguishing characteristic of technology as its goal “to make modifications in the world to meet human needs”. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising emerging technologies of our time. Similar to other technologies, AI is expected “to meet [human] needs”. In this talk, which is based on one of our upcoming articles, we reflect on the relationship between needs and AI, and call for the realisation of needs-aware AI systems. We argue that re-thinking needs for, through, and by AI can be a very useful means towards the development of realistic approaches for Sustainable, Human-centric, Accountable, Lawful, and Ethical (HALE) AI systems. We discuss some of the most critical gaps, barriers, enablers, and drivers of co-creating future AI-based socio-technical systems in which [human] needs are well considered and met. Finally, we provide an overview of potential threats and HALE considerations that should be carefully taken into account, and call for joint, immediate, and interdisciplinary efforts and collaborations. > > Join Zoom Meeting > https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94811049273?pwd=djhJMTJYOUR5REZJaHZ2RXQyVExndz09 <https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94811049273?pwd=djhJMTJYOUR5REZJaHZ2RXQyVExndz09> > > Meeting ID: 948 1104 9273 > Passcode: 561188 > > More info (poster): https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/event/needs-aware-artificial-intelligen… <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/event/needs-aware-artificial-intelligen…> > > Sustainable Computing Lecture Series > Chairs: > Soheil Human, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) > Arianna Rossi, SnT, University of Luxembourg > Cristiana Santos, Utrecht University > Martin Degeling, Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) > > Looking forward to it, > Cristina, Arianna, Martin, Soheil > > <2021_Needs_and_Artificial_Intelligence_AI_and_Ethics_Journal.pdf> > > -- > > Director > Sustainable Computing Lab > https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> > Institute for Information Systems and New Media, > Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) > https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> > Lecturer > Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna > >
