Speaking Session:
Building literate, responsible machines
Wednesday, June 19 @ 11:15 AM - 11:35 AM Stage BTeaching machines to read, reason and communicate effectively has long been a dream for AI researchers. As we continue to build, use and improve intelligent agents, how do we ensure that individuals and communities can trust these systems? How do we balance the need for technological progress with fairness and sensitivity?
Mohamed Musbah will explore the work being done by Microsoft Research Montreal to advance AI systems toward becoming literate machines and the intersection of these efforts with FATE (fairness, accountability, transparency and ethics) research. Mohamed will also discuss the importance of developing computational techniques that are both innovative and ethical, while drawing on the deeper context surrounding these issues from sociology, history and technology studies.
