Individuals\, public organisations\, and industry are dependent on their digital infrastructures. Protecting these from cyber-attacks and unauthorized access requires methods\, technologies and processes that guard the confidentiality\, integrity\, and availability of computer systems\, networks and data. \nWhile cyber security is currently a research topic engaging primarily computer scientists and data specialists to develop secure systems\, the human side of digital infrastructures is fundamental to all cyber security. Many of the biggest cyber security threats are fundamentally social\, and target humans that are using or running the infrastructures. For example\, phishing attacks where humans are lured to divulge information or poor password practices such as putting passwords on notes under keyboards. People are frequently subjected to various kinds of phishing attacks that may deceive people into sharing private information or money\, often targeted towards older persons and children. The consequences of attacks and unauthorized access can be profoundly detrimental as society’s digital infrastructures are instrumental to provide healthcare\, municipality services\, transportation\, power supply\, and economical transactions. Authorities and healthcare need to manage and protect sensitive\, personal information\, adhering to regulations governing person data. \nAI and Cyber Security Community Reference Meeting\nOn 26 March\, WASP-HS welcomes representatives from the business sector and researchers to discuss how issues of cyber-security are affected by artificial intelligence (AI) and vice versa. The event serves as a bridge between researchers and theoretical experts on the topic and the business sector with hands on expertise. \nThe discussions taking place during the event will be summarised and published in a report\, available for all.

Whether we’re talking about PGP\, invisible ink\, or quantum cryptography\, information security has always been a matter of designing some means of selecting who gets signal and who gets only noise. Different forms of information security thus serve as means of selectively mediating conditions of communication failure in distinct cases\, including those that have or will be impacted by AI. Because this framework is rooted in sociocultural analysis\, the framework can be highly flexible and medium-agnostic\, explaining how historical forms of information security work as well as offering a way to theorize emerging forms of information security. This is particularly salient at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI because the affordances and vulnerabilities made possible by AI advances will demand expansive frameworks that view communication processes in sociocultural as well as technical terms. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\nRegistration is closed.

What could hinder people to accept robotic products? I started out as a researcher in Human Computer Interaction (HCI)\, but have over the years done more and more ethnographic inspired studies in the area human-robot interaction (HRI) and Human Drone Interaction (HDI) aiming to understand use and experiences of robotic artefacts. In this talk\, I will share what I learned from spending several years as an inhouse researcher at a design and innovation firm\, working with professional designers\, and from being a researcher in technology-oriented fields. I will discuss different views of design and problem solving\, design fixations and norms\, and designerly approaches to achieve norm-creative design and alternative perspectives of solutions. \nSara Ljungblad is a senior lecturer in Interaction Design at the joint Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg\, Sweden. She finished her Ph. D thesis in Human-Machine Interaction in 2008\, and after this she spent three years as an inhouse researcher at a design and innovation agency. Ljungblad is interested in human-centred design and design skills in the area of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Her research concerns the development of design methods\, as well as studies of people’s experiences of robotic products. Ljungblad calls for more critical robotics research\, with norm-creative and designerly perspectives. She has published her research in venues such as CHI\, CSCW\, Ro-Man\, HRI\, NordiCHI\, Swedish Design Research Journal\, EAD\, DIS and Interact. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Wednesday 7 February\n08:30 – 09:00 Coffee \n09:00 – 09:15 Welcome \n09:15 – 10:25 Producing Governmental Agency with AIChair: Sophie Mainz \nMaria Arnelid – Care crises and welfare technology: Practices\, motivations and logics behind the digitalization of elder care in Sweden \nEmil Johansson – On The Moral Responsibility of Modelers in Social Simulation for Policymaking \nEllinor Blom Lussi – The introduction of a new automated agency: Competing Values and Neglected Aspects \n10:25 – 11:00 Break \n11:00 – 12:10 The Politics of CultureJohannes Widegren – Semi-Automatic Metadata Enrichment – Approaches for Sámi Archives in Sweden \nLarissa von Bychelberg – Research at the Intersection of AI\, Archives and Authenticity \nPetra Jääskeläinen – Visual Cultural Politics of Generative AI \n12:15 – 13:15 Lunch \n13:15 – 14:15 Poster Session 1 \n14:15 – 15:00 Coffee \n15:00- 17:00 WorkshopsPim Kerkhoven – What Is the Worst Possible Use of Your Research? \nSarah de Heer – Transparency Issues from a Legal and Ethical Perspective \nFelix Thiel – AI and Modeling in Social Sciences: Creating a Network \n15:00 – 17:00 Life as a WASP-HS supervisor \n19:00 Dinner \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thursday 8 February\n09:15 – 10:00 Life After PhD Studies \n10:00 – 10:15 Break \n10:15 – 12:15 WorkshopsNasrin Mostofian – The Role of AI in Preserving Cultural Heritage \nSophie Mainz and Emelie Karlsson – (Generative) Artificial Intelligence and Political Communication – Quo Vadis? \nIrene Kaklopoulou – Transdisciplinary Views on Data and Data Practices \n12:15 – 13:30 Lunch \n13:30 – 14:30 Student council meeting \n14:30 -15:30 Poster session 2 with coffee \n15:30- 17:00 AI in EducationLux Miranda – A Case for Diverse Social Robot Identity Presentation in Education \nAlexandra Farazouli – AI Chatbots and Assessment in Higher Education \nCarl-Johan Stenberg – AI Literacy in Teacher Education \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Friday 9 February\n09:00 – 09:45 Interacting and RelatingAndreas Brännström – Computational Empathy in Interactive Agents \nDominika Lisy – A Relatable Subject: Body Boundaries and Sensorial Hierarchies \n09:45 – 10:00 Break \n10:00 – 11:00 KeynoteSara Ljungblad\, Senior lecturer in Interaction Design at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology \n11:00 – 12:00 Wrapping up \n12:00 Conference ends \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Workshops\n \n \n \n \n \n 6 workshops will be taking place during the Winter Conference.

Researchers in the social sciences and humanities have made essential observations and analyses on this topic. Yet\, we still need grounded\, situated\, and relational understandings of how AI impacts us individually and collectively. \nTo reach this goal\, it is imperative to closely examine the norms\, values\, and assumptions underpinning current AI research\, inquiry about the criticality embedded in scholarly practices\, and question the relevance of the methods chosen. We must identify what works well for all groups in society and discuss what needs improvement or change. \nThis is why WASP-HS welcomes researchers\, representatives from industry\, and policymakers to discuss these issues on 14-15 November at Malmö Live in Malmö\, Sweden. \nWe look forward to your thoughts and ideas on how to address these challenges so we can work together to contribute to a future we all want to live in. \nWelcome to the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2023! \n \n \n \n \n \n Conference Workshops\n \n \n \n \n \n In conjunction with the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2023\, WASP-HS arranges workshops with the intention to foster discussion and exchange ideas.

Today’s AI technologies are marketed as the key to predicting and navigating humanity’s uncertain future in a time of crisis. Yet are these new tools clear windows into our future\, or are they looking-glass reflections of our past? Can they ever show us what we and our societies can become\, where we might go anew\, or what is possible for humanity to accomplish together for the first time? In the face of growing planetary and civilizational challenges that require letting go of the unsustainable ways of the past\, humanity’s most urgent task is to embrace and renew our capacities for self-creation\, moral imagination and above all\, wisdom. AI too has a vital role to play in that task – if we have the courage to reclaim\, rethink and rebuild these technologies in the name of humane futures. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sarah CookWASP-HS Guest Professor in AI and Art at Umeå University \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What can we learn about a world with AI by looking at what artists are doing with information systems?Works of art made with digital media information systems (including generative AI) can show us\, in surprising and prescient ways\, what it is like to live in concert with technology\, now and in the future. Beyond the media hype around how AI might take the role of artists\, my research addresses how artists work alongside and with AI systems (and indeed develop their own). The resulting artworks (in a variety of forms\, from performance to poetry\, archive interventions to immersive video installations) can communicate complicated issues of life in a data-driven world\, such as how we might find kinship with robots\, how we might understand or misunderstand one another\, what resource intensive computation means for the environment\, and whether we can tell the real from the artificial. The ‘Art & AI’ project at UmArts uses transdisciplinarity – interrogating AI as it is used and understood through fields of research in architecture\, design\, visual studies\, law and philosophy – to build curatorial methods for the creation of audience encounters with AI. Working towards a public exhibition of art and AI at the Bildmuseet in 2026\, this transdisciplinarity informs the curatorial approach the project takes [distinguishing it from the many previous art exhibitions about AI]. Understanding what each disciplines’ concerns are\, ensures that the societal understandings of life with AI systems remain at the forefront of the encounter. Art and AI projects can help us see existing problems anew\, can document and date in time common perceptions of technology\, and can develop new understandings of the ways we will continue to live with these digital information systems\, or not! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sofia RanchordasWASP-HS Guest Professor i\nn Sociology of Law at Lund University \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n How to be Human Again in the Digital Administrative StateIn my presentation I will discuss how to rehumanize the regulation of the digital administrative state. My keynote starts by arguing that in the digital administrative state are losing sight of the citizen\, particularly of citizens who need government the most. Administrative law in particular is designed and applied for average citizens. However\, drawing on vulnerability theories\, I will argue that there is no such thing as an average citizen. Rather\, everyone can be vulnerable at some point in life and require some kind of assistance and additional empathy. With the digital government and the growing automation of decision-making\, administrative law has become a field of law that is focused on the management of information\, the automated assessment of eligibility criteria\, the production of automated decisions ‘in bulk’ (e.g.\, traffic fines)\, and the formulation of risk factors that anticipate the need of public intervention or predict fraud. This has eliminated any room for assessing the real needs of citizens. My talk will delve into different mechanisms and instruments that we can use to rehumanize the digital welfare state: (i) redesigning the public administration and administrative law procedures with ex ante empathy\, considering individual needs in the early stages of social welfare benefits applications; (ii) reshaping the concept of good administration to infuse it with notions of citizenship and meaningful contact; (iii) rethinking how we compensate for the inequality between citizens and the public administration. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tentative Conference Program and Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n November 14\n09.00 – 12.00 Pre-conference workshops \n12.00 – Lunch \n12.50 – 13:15 Welcome and introductionStefan Larsson\, Associate Professor in Technology and Social Change at Lund UniversityTeresa Cerratto Pargman\, Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm UniversityHelena Lindgren\, Professor in Computing Science at Umeå University\, Acting Program Director of WASP-HSKerstin Tham\,  Vice-Chancellor at Malmö university and professor in Occupational Therapy \n13:15 – 14:15 KeynoteShannon Vallor\, Professor in the Ethics of Data and AI\, The University of Edinburgh \n14:15 -15:30 Panel I: Criticality & AI StudiesModerator: Katherine Harrison\, Associate Professor at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping University \nPanel: Airi Lampinen\, Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction\, at Stockholm UniversityAmanda Lagerkvist\, Professor of Media and Communication Studies at Uppsala UniversitySimon Lindgren\, Professor of Sociology at Umeå UniversityMichael Strange\, Associate Professor in International Relations at Malmö University \n15:30- 16:00 Break – 30 minutes \n16.00-17.00 KeynoteSofia Ranchordas\, WASP-HS Guest Professor in Sociology of Law at Lund University \n17.00 –18.15 Panel II: Norms\, Assumptions\, and ValuesModerator: Stefan Larsson\, Associate Professor in Technology and Social Change at Lund University \nPanel: Martin Ebers\, WASP-HS Guest Professor at Örebro UniversityKatja De Vries\, Assistant Professor in Public Law at Uppsala UniversityKatie Winkle\, Assistant Professor in Social Robotics at Uppsala UniversityMartin Berg\, Professor of Media Technology at Malmö University \n18.15 Cocktail and Mingle \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nNovember 15\n9:00 – 9.20 Coffee \n09:20-09:30 Lessons from Day OneStefan Larsson\, Associate Professor in Technology and Social Change at Lund UniversityTeresa Cerratto Pargman\, Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm UniversityLiane Colonna\, Assistant Professor in Law and Information Technology at Stockholm University\, recruited WASP-HS facultyDonal Casey\, Assistant Professor in Commercial Law at Uppsala University\, recruited WASP-HS faculty \n9:30 – 10:30 KeynoteSarah Cook\, WASP-HS Guest Professor at Umeå University \n10:30- 11:45 – Panel III: Methods and InterdisciplinarityModerator: Teresa Cerratto Pargman\, Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm University \nPanel: Irina Shklovski\, Guest Professor of Communication and Computing at Linköping UniversityBarry Brown Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm UniversityAnne Kaun\, Professor in Media and Communication Studies at Södertörn UniversityKivanç Tatar\, Assistant Professor in Interaction Design at Chalmers University of Technology\, recruited WASP-HS faculty \n11:45 – 12:00 Summarizing and Closing WordsStefan Larsson\, Associate Professor in Technology and Social Change at Lund UniversityTeresa Cerratto Pargman\, Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm University \n12:00 – Have a good trip back home! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\nRegistration for AI for Humanity and Society 2023 is closed.

While AI’s proficiency in processing data and projecting trends is undeniably valuable\, its true potential is realized through synergy with insights from the humanities and social sciences.. By infusing AI advancements with social and cultural considerations\, we ensure that solutions are contextually relevant\, ethically sound\, and socially inclusive. Such a holistic approach enhances our ability to address the complex challenges of realising the SDGs\, from climate action to poverty eradication\, and fosters a deeper understanding of the human implications of technological interventions\, thereby propelling us towards a more sustainable and harmonious world. However\, it’s important to acknowledge that the unchecked deployment of AI in SDG initiatives could potentially exacerbate inequalities\, threaten privacy\, and deepen the digital divide\, underscoring the need for responsible AI governance and comprehensive risk assessments. \nThis holistic approach enhances our ability to address the complex challenges of realising the SDGs\, from climate action to poverty eradication\, and fosters a deeper understanding of the human implications of technological interventions\, thereby propelling us towards a more sustainable and harmonious world.

Using a consensus-based expert elicitation process\, we find that AI can enable the accomplishment of 134 targets across all the goals\, but it may also inhibit 59 targets. However\, current research foci overlook important aspects. The fast development of AI needs to be supported by the necessary regulatory insight and oversight for AI-based technologies to enable sustainable development.

Which Data Do We Need to Reach the Environmental SDGs? \nChair: Sabine Höhler\, Professor of Science and Technology Studies at KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyCo-Chair: Adam Wickberg\, Docent of History of Science\, Technology and Environment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology \nAbstract What are the gains and what are the shortcomings of grounding our understanding of the environment increasingly on data generated by monitoring tools and fed into digital information processing systems? From autonomous sensor networks to satellite surveillance systems\, new AI-based technologies are employed to outsmart environmental changes that often are anthropogenic in origin. If you cannot measure it\, you cannot improve it\, was Lord Kelvin’s famous insight in the late 19th century. Today\, with the new digital tools at hand\, the expectation seems even more pervasive that better technology will lead to better data which in turn will lead to better environments. But does this equation hold? Will better data help us reach our sustainability goals? \nThe roundtable aims to discuss how environmental data inform the Sustainable Development Goals\, from heavily sensed environments to data-driven decisions. What are better data? How should they be mined\, stored\, processed\, analyzed\, communicated\, consumed\, and commercialized? What can we measure in the in the first place\, and what do we avoid addressing? Who owns and controls environmental data\, how are they governed\, and how do they affect environmental policymaking? What kind of environmental narratives do they inspire? And vice versa\, how do the sustainability goals affect environmental data production? Which kind of institutions do they require and entail? What would we need to develop and reach responsible and inclusive sustainability goals? \n \n \n \n \n \n Accountability Beyond AI – Thinking of Tools in the Hands of Humans \nChair: Ericka Johnson\, Professor of Gender Studies at Linköping UniversityCo-Chair: Jonas Ivarsson\, Professor in Informatics at University of Gothenburg \nAbstract Many of the SDG for 2030 could be made more difficult to attain by the implementation of AI solutions that benefit rich nations\, powerful actors and Capital\, or which demand extensive resources for technical development\, manufacturing\, transportation to market\, use and data storage\, for example: \nGoal 8: “Promote sustained\, sustainable and inclusive economic growth\, full and productive employment\, and decent work for all”.Goal 10: “Reduce inequality in and among countries”.Goal 13: “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.” \nWhat responsibility do institutions and individuals in society have to prevent these negative consequences? And which institutions and individuals should we hold accountable for this? \n \n \n \n \n \n Charting the Future of Sustainable Health: Navigating AI\, Digitized Bodies\, and Care \nChair: Pedro Sanches\, Assistant Professor in Human-Centerered Artificial Intelligence at Umeå UniversityCo-Chair: Teresa Almeida\, Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction \nAbstract This roundtable explores AI’s role in sustainable healthcare. We start by asking: when bodies become data\, how should they be treated\, processed\, and circulated? But more crucially\, with the emergence of AI-driven biotechnologies and predictive medicine\, which bodies might we be caring for in 2030? Considering SDGs more broadly\, how does AI impact human healthcare’s planetary costs? Whose needs and ways of caring are overlooked in tech-driven futures? And how can we shape more resilient and equitable futures? \n \n \n \n \n \n 15.30-16.00 – Planetary Discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

Each meeting has a specially selected theme with the aim of bringing business and research together to expand knowledge and strengthen collaboration. This particular Community Reference Meeting regards the challenges and opportunities of AI concerning education and children.  \nAI is becoming increasingly more present in our everyday lives\, and this is especially true for children. From virtual assistants to educational games\, AI is changing the way children learn and interact with the world. Personalized learning\, improved access to education\, and new ways of engaging students are just a few of the potential benefits of AI in education. However\, as with any new technology\, there are also concerns about the potential negative effects of AI on children and education. From ethical concerns to the potential for fair access to technology\, the exacerbating of existing inequalities\, the impact of machine learning applications on the development of critical thinking skills\, there are several issues that must be considered as we integrate AI into children’s lives.    \nIn this CRM\, we will be discussing the latest research and developments in the field\, as well as exploring the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI into our education system and how it impacts children. We look forward to an enlightening and engaging discussion.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n13:00 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n13:10-13:30 – Keynote and Q&A  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: Highlights from Generation AI Project  \nKeynote: Teemu Roos\, Professor\, University of Helsinki\, Leader of the AI Education Program at the Finnish Center for AI \nKeynote abstract: The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its progressively wider impact on many sectors requires an assessment of its effect on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

How can their perspectives be amplified? The purpose of this roundtable is to discuss the effects of machine learning in education that affects the most vulnerable members of our society. We invite academics and practitioners to discuss how to support the fair use of artificial intelligence in education\, which goes beyond technological solutions by including social and cultural solutions in the design process.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Growing Up Together: Children and Artificial Intelligence  \nChair: Karin Danielsson\, Associate Professor\, Department of Informatics\, Director of Humlab at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities\, Umeå University  Co-Chair: More information soon…  \nAbstract For some time now\, our children have grown up in close relationship to different technologies\, from home computers\, word processors\, smartphones\, digital games\, to social media and wearable technologies. Common for the previous technologies is that the interaction possibilities have been pre-designed. Whereas today\, children grow up with another form of interaction\, where a system can learn by input and act as an artificial companion. How will this impact children? Will our interaction with AI technology change the way we express and understand emotions and interact with other social beings? What expectations of possibilities in the school settings and education\, will the children’s technology usage at home bring with? What expectations might children have in AI- or robot-assisted education? This round table will discuss these issues by bringing together researchers and practitioners from social sciences\, humanities\, education\, and design.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Artificial Intelligence in Education: Who Is Being Left Behind?  \nChair: Cormac McGrath\, Senior Lecturer\, Departement of Education\, Stockholm University Co-Chair: Linnéa Stenliden\, Associate Professor at the Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning\, Linköping University \nAbstract Hitherto\, artificial intelligence applications in education settings have been amorphous and much hyped\, but lacking in substance as a force of disruption to educational practices. However\, the recent launch of ChatGPT asks us to consider the implications artificial intelligence tools and systems will have on the education sector\, both for teachers but also students and pupils. Moreover\, the introduction of AI technologies in classrooms raises concerns related to school teachers’ and educators’ understanding of how these technologies work in theory and practice and presents a number of critical questions: Will such tools lead to increased plagiarism\, and will they lead to radical changes in teacher practices. How might such tools be used as a catalyst for development processes across a range of educational sectors? Will tech savvy students benefit more from such tools\, at the expense of students who lack data and AI literacy\, and what challenges do such technologies present to teachers who are not AI literate?   The focus of this CRM meeting is to consider the role of AIED applications\, like\, for example ChatGPT and to consider how they might be used in the education sector.  \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:00-15:30 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

The use of AI is more common than it has ever been before. The use of AI raises many questions and issues for businesses\, NGO’s\, researchers and politicians. In these formative times\, the possibilities\, risks\, and consequences of AI have never been more pressing. Today\, all actors that come into contact with\, create\, or work with AI have different experiences of its practical realization and in the challenges that they perceive. \nAt  the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2022\, actors from different sectors and areas of society meet in order to share experiences\, formulate challenges and expectations and envisage how a more rapid development of AI can be managed in a sustainable way for society and humanity\, which includes\, human rights as well as economy and ecology \nQuestions that will be touched upon are pivotal political issues\, for example\, how AI can be regulated in a way that supports research and innovation but still respects the rule of law and human rights. How can we organize society so that it can take into account the advantages and possibilities of a rapidly developing AI? \nOf special interest for the conference is AI and human rights in the sense that it takes an interest in how AI relates to biases\, justice\, equality\, predictability\, and transparency. However\, rather than proposing algorithmic solutions to these problems the conference aims to highlight these questions as part of producing regulation and legitimacy in a wider social and organizational context.  \nNo AI system can be completely transparent or just\, and the ethics of AI cannot solely focus on the design of transparent and just systems. Sustainable AI solutions need to consider social\, legal\, as well as institutional dimensions of AI systems. How do we then think about adapting systems to different societies\, contexts\, and organizations? How do we create responsible research and innovation that is also aware of different societies\, contexts\, and organizations? How do we imagine a better future with AI systems? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynotes\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Abeba BirhaneSenior Fellow in Trustworthy AI at Mozilla Foundation \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Abeba Birhane is a Senior Fellow in Trustworthy AI at Mozilla Foundation and an Adjunct Lecturer/Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science at University College Dublin\, Ireland.

According to Mediebarometern 2020\, the average Swede consumes 7 hours of media daily. The most frequently accessed media types are radio\, TV\, music\, and social media (video games were not included in the study). At the same time\, media lends itself well to AI applications: There is a huge abundance of digital data\, a large part of which consists of text and images\, two modalities where generative models such as GPT3 and DALL-E have proved particularly successful. There are also strong commercial interests to motivate investments in new products and formats. It stands to reason then\, that if AI comes to be widely adopted by the Media industry\, and we spend almost half of our waking time on Media\, then advances in Media AI are likely to have a pronounced impact on our daily lives.   \nIn this Community Reference Meeting\, we discuss how AI is being put to use in different media sectors\, what helps and hinders the technological uptake and what are potential consequences for people and for society. Similar to previous CRM’s\, a number of themes will be discussed in parallel at different roundtables. New this time is that the event will be hybrid\, with discussion tables spread over three locations: At Chalmers in Gothenburg\, we will look at AI for Text Generation\, and How AI Transforms the Production and Consumption of Arts\, Music\, and Media. At Electronic Arts / DICE Office in Stockholm\, the themes are AI for Gaming\, AI for Movie Production\, and AI for Music. At Umeå University\, finally\, the focus is AI in Politics. In these discussions\, we will ask questions such as how game development can be made more efficient (and fun) through AI-driven testing\, and how AI-driven political advertising can come to interfere with our democratic elections. As usual\, the outcomes of the discussions will be summarised and made available to the community through the WASP-HS report series. The event kicks off with a keynote by Mark Harrisson\, CEO\, the Digital Production Partnership\, which will be broadcasted live to all locations. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n13:00 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n13:10-13:30 – Keynote  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: The Impact of AI on the Broadcasting Industry \nKeynote: Mark Harrisson\, CEO at the Digital Production Partnership \n \n \n \n \n \n 13:30-15:00 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n A Shift in Culture Through AI: How Does AI Transform the Production and Consumption of Arts\, Music\, and MediaLocated at Chalmers University Campus\, Gothenburg \nChair: Kivanc Tatar\, Assistant Professor\, Interaction Design and Software Engineering division\, Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Chalmers University of Technology  Co-Chair: Petter Ericson\, postdoctoral fellow\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå University \nAbstract Increasing ubiquity of computing resources has enabled many to try\, run\, and observe AI technologies for music\, visual arts\, and media. The lines and borders between the audience and the artist are becoming less clear as AI content generators have become more accessible — as simple web pages for novice users\, open-source code\, and open-access models for experts. The explosion of content generated by such AI models has initiated a cultural shift in arts\, music\, and media\, where roles are changing\, values are shifting\, and conventions are challenged. The readily available\, vast dataset of the internet has created an environment for AI models to be trained on any content on the web\, whether that content is collected by scraping the web\, or via ready-made datasets and APIs provided freely by researchers\, organisations and practitioners. With AI content generator models shared openly\, and used by many\, globally\, how does this new paradigm shift challenge the status-quo in artistic practices? What kind of changes will AI technology bring into music\, arts\, and new media?  \n \n \n \n \n \n AI for Text GenerationLocated at Chalmers University Campus\, Gothenburg \nChair: Aarne Ranta\, Professor\, Computing Science Division\, Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Chalmers University of Technology \nAbstract Automatic text generation provides a cheap and fast way to create content in natural language. Recent systems based on machine learning\, such as GPT-3 and BERT\, can generate text that is fluent but whose content is difficult to control. In contrast to this\, classical rule-based methods\, such as text robots\, can be reliable in rendering content\, but often in a clumsy and repetitive style. The round table will gather researchers developing methods of both kinds\, as well as users of text generation from industry and society. We will discuss the choice of optimal methods for different use cases\, as well as ideas for combining them in fruitful ways. \n \n \n \n \n \n AI for MusicLocated at Electronic Arts / DICE Office\, Stockholm  \nChair: Bob Sturm\, Associate Professor\, Division of Speech\, Music and Hearing\, Royal Institute of TechnologyCo-Chair: Andre Holzapfel\, Associate Professor\, Division of Media Technology and Interaction Design\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology  \nAbstract This roundtable will focus on the involvement of artificial intelligence (AI) in a variety of music practices\, from listening\, to composition and performance\, to analysis and criticism. There exist many real world commercial examples of these\, from music and media recommendation by Spotify and YouTube\, to music generation by jukebox and boomy.com. There are also a variety of niche interests\, such as traditional Irish music identification\, folk tune generation\, Baroque four-part voice leading\, or endless metal music generated by deep neural networks. What kinds of impacts do these applications have? What legal and ethical considerations should be made by users and developers of these applications? How should the values of music communities be considered in the development and application of AI for music? \n \n \n \n \n \n AI for Movie ProductionLocated at Electronic Arts / DICE Office\, Stockholm  \nChair: Mark Harrisson\, CEO at the DPP \nAbstract AI in its many incarnations – speech recognition\, object detection\, video summarisation\, etc. – has come and gone in turns from the broadcasting industry’s hype radar. A few years back\, it was high up on the DPP Future Prediction list\, but is nowhere to be seen in this year’s list. There seems to be a widespread disillusionment in the industry as to what AI has promised (or rather\, what has been promised by unserious actors on behalf of AI)\, compared to the actual impact that it has delivered. At the same time\, AI research is progressing at a break-neck speed\, with generative models such as GPT3 and DALLE pushing the limits of what is possible with in terms of content generation. Why then are these solutions so slow to make it onto the market? Is technology transfer particularly difficult in the broadcasting industry\, or is the problem more general? And could it be that the challenge is not the technology itself\, but the communication around it\, and adapting organizational patterns? To guide us in these discussions\, we take help from Mark Harrisson\, CEO of the UK-business organization the Digital Production Partnership\, who has decades of experience working with technology transfer in the media industry. \n \n \n \n \n \n AI in PoliticsLocated at Umeå University Campus\, Umeå \nChair: Simon Lindgren\, Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Umeå UniversityCo-Chair: Mona Forsman\, Head of the Research and Development at Adlede \nAbstract This roundtable addresses issues that relate to the use of AI-driven automation in political contexts online. Both in terms of strategic and large-scale campaigns by parties and governments\, and from a more grassroots-oriented perspective\, focusing for example on hacktivist uses of social bots. Both top-down and bottom-up interventions raise ethical issues. Given the new technological opportunities\, do we need new standards or legal frameworks to increase transparency and protect privacy\, or is self-regulation enough? Where should we draw the line between information and manipulation\, or between participation and hacktivism? \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:00-15:30 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

This particular Community Reference Meeting concerns the issue of challenges and opportunities of regulating AI. \nThe development of regulatory frameworks to govern the development\, design and application of artificial intelligence is currently an important topic. In April 2021\, the EU Parliament published a proposal\, the AI Act (AIA)\, for regulating the use of AI systems and services in the Union market. This proposal puts forward a regulatory vision based on European standards on human rights\, democracy and the rule of law. However\, the effects of EU digital regulations usually transcend its confines. An example is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)\, which rapidly became a world standard. The extraterritorial scope of AI should be analysed in the face of other AI governance models currently under development. The AIA adopts a risk-based approach that bans certain technologies\, proposes strict regulations for “high risk” ones\, and imposes stringent transparency criteria for others. If adopted\, the AIA will undoubtedly have a significant impact in the EU and beyond. A crucial question is whether we already have the technology to comply with the proposed regulation and to what extent can the requirements of this regulation be enforceable.  \nAt this CRM\, we will analyse how regulation will shape the AI technologies of the future and examine the interplay between national policies and the work of other organisations\, by bringing together input and discussions from multidisciplinary stakeholders.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14:00 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n14:10-14:30 – Keynote and Q&A  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: Challenges and Opportunities of Regulating AI \nKeynote: Catelijne Muller\, President and Co-Founder of ALLAI \n \n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:30 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n The Participation Paradox In the Politics of AI \nChair: Michael Strange\, Department of Global Political Studies\, Malmö UniversityCo-Chair: Jason Tucker\, Department of Global Political Studies\, Malmö University \nAbstract A core foundation of democracy is the inclusion of voices that are otherwise excluded by power asymmetries in society. Yet\, despite being pivotal to the present and future shape of human society\, the development of artificial intelligence systems is often said to under-represent key demographics. First\, then\, how can we increase participation within the development and implementation of AI systems? Second\, though\, what happens to the concept of ‘participation’ in the era of big data sets that feed AI? For example\, widening big data sets to include the life experiences of those on the margins of society seems to promise a means to effectively make AI more inclusive and reduce bias. The interest of big firms in widening data sets could be read as widening societal participation. Yet can we also participate in the development of AI if we refuse access to our data? And how can we ensure that participation is not turned into a merely passive act of being monitored?  The roundtable discussion will consider these questions.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Regulating the Use of Algorithms in Public Decision-Making \nChair: Sandra Friberg\, Department of Law\, Uppsala UniversityCo-Chair: Yulia Razmetaeva\, Head of the Center for Law\, Ethics and Digital Technologies at Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University \nAbstract Algorithms are deciding what taxes you are to pay\, whether you will receive social security\,and even whether you are entitled to Swedish citizenship. Automated decision-making isbecoming more common and might eventually replace most human decision-making in thepublic administrative agencies. There are today several types of AI-systems in play\, each of which pose different challenges and actualize various legal and philosophical questions. You might for instance take a starting point in the following three AI systems: simple algorithms\, autonomous artificial systems\, and hypothetical systems based on strong AI. Who should be responsible for incorrect decisions taken by an algorithm in these different type of AI-systems\, and why? Is there a need for new regulation and how should regulatory challenges be met?  Can legislators look to the proposal for an AI Act for guidance on regulatory technics and scope? \n \n \n \n \n \n The AI Act: Comprehensive but is it Future-Proof? \nChair: Cecilia Magnusson Sjöberg\, Professor and Subject Director of Law and Information Technology\, Stockholm University Co-Chair: Liane Colonna\, Assistant Professor of Law and Information Technology\, Stockholm University \nAbstract The regulation of AI has become a fiercely debated policy and academic subject. There have been intense discussions by many different stakeholders about whether AI needs specific regulation and\, if so\, what this regulation should look like. For example\, some have contended that existing legal frameworks are sufficient to safeguard individuals and society from the potential adverse effects of AI systems while others have argued that regulation is necessary but that it should take place at the Member State level rather than at the regional or international level. After initially adopting a soft-law approach\, in April 2021\, the Commission put forward a legislative proposal to regulate AI with binding legal rules. The existence of this proposal reflects a consensus that binding legal regulation of AI is required within the EU but many controversial and thorny issues remain\, as well as complex interests that must be balanced. At this roundtable\, we invite participants to discuss the proposal\, particularly from the perspective of fundamental rights as well as that from innovation and research. Potential questions to be explored include: Is the definition of AI comprehensive\, future proof and legally secure? How do we achieve consistency in the myriad of laws applicable AI? How should we understand the risk categories and actually calculate risk? What is the role of standardization and how will this impact the law? Do the restrictions on biometric data go far enough? What about generalized AI? When it comes to governance and oversight\, who is doing what (when and at what level?)? Does the proposal take an overly technocratic approach to fundamental rights? \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:30-16:00 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

Designing and engineering deceptive machines for detecting or strategically planning deception is a challenging task from conceptual\, engineering\, and ethical perspectives\, coming with a range of societal trust related concerns. Nevertheless\, deception is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. Software agents may benefit from being aware of deception\, having ways of detecting as well as strategically planning deception\, in order to interact emphatically and personalized with humans or other systems. However\, we need to make sure that autonomous systems are transparent about their actions. In this seminar series\, we will explore the fundamentals of computational deception\, look at its technical challenges\, and discuss the relation of computational deception with the increasing demand for transparency of autonomous systems. \nThe WASP-HS Research Seminars are intended to present and discuss ongoing research on a broad range of exciting topics of relevance for WASP-HS. Seminars are held online once a month and organised in a series of 3-4 seminars with a common theme. WASP-HS researchers and invited national and international leading scholars present research results\, ongoing research\, or visions for future directions\, followed by an open discussion. \nThis spring the series called Deception Aware Autonomous Systems is running over three seminars. This seminar\, Deception and Trustworthy AI – The Wrong Thing for the Right Reasons?\, is the first out of three\, see all seminars below. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n21 April\, 15:00-16:00\n \n \n \n \n \n Deception and Trustworthy AI: The Wrong Thing for the Right Reasons? \nSpeaker: Peta Masters\, Research Associate Trustworthy Autonomous Systems\, King’s College\, London \nAfter five years working on the dark side\, endeavouring to develop deliberately deceptive AI – with ambitions towards fully autonomous deceptive systems – I have lately switched to what is apparently the side of the angels: working with the UK Research Institute’s Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub. Our brief at the TAS Hub is to develop socially beneficial autonomous systems that are “trustworthy in principle and trusted in practice”. But where my colleagues primarily see the benefits of desirable-sounding attributes such as explainability\, reliability\, competence… and enthusiastically uncover the various (and sometimes unexpected) features that contribute towards engendering human trust\, unsurprisingly thanks to my background\, I see some pitfalls. It is these potential pitfalls – the unintended consequences of trusted and trustworthy AS development – that form the body of this talk. \n \n \n \n \n \n 12 May\, 11:00-12:00\n \n \n \n \n \n Modelling Deception \nSpeaker: Stefan Sarkadi\, Associate Researcher at INRIA (France) and Postdoctoral Researcher at King’s College London (UK) \nHow do we model deception using AI techniques? Why should we do it? And why should we do it in one way rather than another? In this presentation I aim to discuss these questions based on a short summary of my PhD thesis. My PhD thesis is entitled “Deception” and it is the first full computational treatment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) on how to create machines able to deceive. \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 June\, 09:00-10:00\n \n \n \n \n \n Strategic Deception \nSpeaker: Chiaki Sakama\, Professor at Department of Systems Engineering\, Wakayama University \nDeception is a part of human nature and is a topic of interest in philosophy\, psychology\, and AI. In this talk\, we first overview the definition of deception in the philosophical literature\, anddistinguish it from the act of lying. We next introduce a logical account of deception\, and illustrate different types of deception that happen in everyday life. Finally\, we address a strategic use of deception in debate games where a player may provide false or inaccurate arguments as a tactic to win the game. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Chair\n \n \n \n \n \n Andreas BrännströmPhD student in Computing Science\, Umeå University. \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

This particular Community Reference Meeting concerns the issue of sustainability and smart cities. \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to support urban and rural development and to accelerate global efforts to protect the environment and conserve resources. The technology can do so by detecting energy emission reductions\, removing CO2\, helping develop greener transportation networks\, monitoring deforestation\, and predicting extreme weather conditions. When AI technology is used within smart cities it makes it easier to control the traffic\, waste and maintenance\, energy consumption\, pollution risks\, and the effects of the environment in the cities. This further leads to smarter decisions\, fewer negative impacts on climate change\, and improved quality of life.   \nHowever\, while AI provides unprecedented opportunities for cities and the environment\, depending on the framework in which it is used\, it may not always result in positive outcomes. For instance\, current uses of AI rely greatly on huge amounts of data and computational power which leads to heavy ecological footprints for the companies that develop and use AI.   \nAt this Community Reference Meeting\, WASP-HS invites participants to discuss how AI can support progress on these complex environmental and social problems which humans are facing\, while also mitigating risks and ensuring fair and inclusive solutions for cities and the environment.   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14:00 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n14:05-14:30 – Panel discussion  \n \n \n \n \n \n Panellists: Linda Gustafsson\, Gender Strategist working for the city of UmeåMartin Güll\, Chief Digital Officer (CDO/CIO)\, the city of Helsingborg \n \n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:30 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n Autonomous Public Transportation – Getting Across the Smart City \nChair: Fabian Lorig\, Assistant Professor\, Internet of Things and People Research Center\, Malmö UniversityCo-chair: Mikael Wiberg\, Professor\, Department of Informatics\, Umeå UniversityCo-chair: Henrik Danielsson\, Professor\, Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning (IBL)\, Linköping University \nAbstract Autonomous vehicles and AI have the potential to enable more flexible and sustainable public transportation.

The Winter Conference 2022 is an internal conference dedicated to the WASP-HS community\, and to the WASP-HS PhD students in particular. \nDue to the ongoing pandemic\, the Winter Conference 2022 is moved online. The dates remain the same\, February 16-17\, and the work of structuring the program to allow all participants to interact and to discuss the talks\, the posters\, and the panel themes is in progress. \nAs the conference is moved online the platform COEO will be used to get away from the regular zoom format. More information about the setup will be given to you shortly. \nAll WASP-HS PhD students are invited to give oral presentations\, poster presentations and partake in panel discussions. \nThere are several meetings happening parallel to the PhD student activities. The WASP-HS Research Leadership Programme will have a session on February 16-17. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Shannon VallorProfessorUniversity of Edinburgh \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote Abstract Sophisticated yet opaque algorithms increasingly constrain and shape what information we consume\, what medical treatments we are advised to undergo\, who will hire us\, who we are invited to meet or date\, how the justice system will treat us\, and where we will be allowed to live. The lack of transparency in such processes raises profound ethical questions about justice\, power\, inequality\, bias\, freedom and democratic values in modern computing. Here I focus on a less commonly discussed concern: the potential for opaque algorithmic decision systems to lead to a contraction of what philosophers have called the space of moral reasons\, a concept that underpins personal and public practices of moral reflection\, moral responsibility\, moral imagination\, moral justification\, and moral appeal. Using examples from jurisprudence\, human resources\, and law enforcement\, I show why AI-driven contractions of the space of moral reasons should matter to us\, and how we might instead use AI in ways that hold open and enlarge such spaces. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Research meeting keynote\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Anders YnnermanWASP Program DirectorProfessorLinköping University \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Professor Anders Ynnerman\, WASP Program Director. will present current research results from WASP and general developments in the field of AI\, with focus on human-in-the-loop issues. \nThis session regards WASP-HS researchers only.

Developments in the field of AI have spurred debates regarding the future of our society. Expectations and concerns flourish in these debates. This conference addresses the role of policies for shaping a better future with AI. The future impact of AI will depend on the actions and decisions that governments\, firms\, organizations\, and individuals take today. ​ \nThe conference brings together leading international scholars and the Swedish WASP-HS research community to discuss policies and actions to support the high expectations and address pressing concerns regarding our common future with AI. ​ \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynotes\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Susan AtheyProfessor of Economics of Technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Athey received PhD from Stanford\, and she holds an honorary doctorate from Duke University.

During the meetings\, we will make use of interactive breakout sessions to generate recommendations for the reference meeting\, to keep a continuous link to society in our plans and strategy.   \nDevelopments in intelligent technologies are transforming financial products and services. Automated decision making plays an increasingly important role in the provision of financial services\, fraud detection and credit audits. At the same time\, consumer finance providers are relying on conversational AI agents that can engage directly with customers\, and algorithmic trading\, including high-frequency algorithmic trading\, is shaping markets and driving policy.   \nThese changes affect access and the cost of capital for individuals and companies. Consequently\, in the long run\, they may determine the development paths of countries and regions. Alongside new opportunities created by the advances in financial technology\, numerous challenges are emerging that require a broad and multidisciplinary approach.  \nIn this meeting\, WASP-HS brings together academics and practitioners to discuss these issues and build the foundation for further analysis for the emerging field of FinTech from the perspective of the social sciences and humanities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14:00-14:10 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n14:10-14:30 – Keynote  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: AI Trends in the Financial Industry – A Practitioner Point of View \nKeynote: Nicolas Moch\, Chief Information Officer\, SEB \nKeynote abstract: What is happening in the crossing between AI and finance? From automated trading to Ethical AI-based decisions in our financial system\, Nicolas will share experiences of both SEB’s own journey and of the Fintech landscape in general. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:30 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n Accountability in (and of) FinTech \nChair: Magnus Strand\, Senior lecturer/Associate Professor at Department of Business Studies\, Uppsala University Co-chair: Mattias Levin\, Deputy Head of the Digital Finance unit at the European Commission’s Directorate-General of Financial Stability\, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) \nAbstract The last ten years have seen intense rulemaking with regard to the financial markets. As a parallel process\, rulemaking in order to harness the possibilities as well as risks in AI-based technology is beginning to take shape\, e.g. the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act for the EU. FinTech is right at the intersection of these sets of rules. What are the accountability structures that emerge for FinTech businesses? What lies around the corner\, still brewing with the policymakers? Join our roundtable to discuss accountability in the FinTech industry\, and also whether it is possible to hold supervisory authorities to account if they overstep.  \n \n \n \n \n \n The Good and the Bad of FinTech: When and for Whom Is It Helpful and When and for Whom Is It Detrimental? \nChair: Kinga Barrafrem\, Postdoc\, Department of Management and Engineering\, Linköping UniversityCo-chair: Gustav Tinghög\, Associate Professor\, Department of Management and Engineering\, Linköping University \nAbstract AI-based FinTech solutions often aim to help consumers achieve their financial goals. Such decision aids have a great impact on the most vulnerable consumer groups (e.g.\, with low financial literacy)\, but can sometimes even be counter effective for other users. In this round table we will discuss how AI can and should aid decisions of different customer segments\, what are the pitfalls we should avoid when designing AI-based solutions\, and how consumer segmentation can boost the effectiveness of AI-based solutions in improving financial well-being.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Does AI Bring Radical Change to the FinTech Sector? \nChair: Magnus Mähring\, Professor\, Department of Entrepreneurship\, Innovation and Technology\, Stockholm School of EconomicsCo-chair: Sebastian Krakowski\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Entrepreneurship\, Innovation and Technology\, Stockholm School of Economics \nAbstract Given that rapid advances in AI are causing disruption to a range of industries\, this roundtable will discuss two foundational issues in relation to banking and FinTech. First\, while AI is reshaping finance in areas such as credit decisions\, fraud prevention\, and personalized banking\, its role outside of traditional finance is less apparent to the uninitiated observer\, especially in areas where advanced algorithm-based solutions have existed for decades\, such as program trading. We will therefore discuss what role AI plays in enabling genuinely new and potentially disruptive services in the FinTech sector that goes beyond conventional IT systems. Second\, we will explore how AI is affecting the banking landscape. For instance\, while consumer preferences for lower-cost or more streamlined challenger offerings seem to be driving the emergence of a more modular industry structure\, for example in payment solutions\, restrictive regulation related to AI could counteract such developments. This begs the question what the future holds for banking and FinTech\, and we invite you to join us for a stimulating discussion of the role of AI in this context. \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:30-16:00 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.

This is done to identify opportunities for collaboration between different sectors. At the meetings\, the attendees will be divided into break-out rooms to discuss and generate ideas to keep a continuous link to society. \nVirtual\, Augmented\, and Mixed Reality (VR\, AR\, and MR) is increasing in popularity\, not only in the field of gaming\, but also healthcare\, engineering\, live events\, entertainment\, retail\, education\, and more. People who are working\, studying\, and interacting with others remotely have to adapt to new\, digital environments. Digital environments often engender new sets of distractions. One such distraction is\, for instance\, the fusion of work and private life. Due to the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic\, remote work through the means of digital and interactive platforms and devices has increased substantially. In order to understand the dynamics and implications of virtual interactions between people\, a multidisciplinary perspective is needed. \nAt the event Life in the Digital World WASP-HS brings together academics and practitioners to discuss these issues. We do so with the hope of building a foundation for further analysis of Virtual Reality and games\, from the perspective of social sciences and humanities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program and Roundtables\nPlease note that the whole event takes place online via Zoom and is held in English. \n14:00-14:15 – Introduction by Virginia Dignum\, WASP-HS Program Director and Professor in Responsible AI at Umeå University \n14:15-14:30 – Keynote  \n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote title: The Role of Humanities and Social Sciences Research for Games and Virtual Reality \nKeynote: Julian Togelius\, Associate Professor\, Department of Computer Science and Engineering\, Tandon School of Engineering\, New York University \n \n \n \n \n \n 14:30-15:25 – Roundtable discussions \n \n \n \n \n \n Marketing in Virtual Worlds \nChair: Johanna Björklund\, Associate Professor\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå UniversityCo-chair: Sara Leckner\, Docent in Media Technology and Senior Lecturer\, Department of Computer Science and Media Technology\, Malmö University \nAbstract We discuss the future of marketing in digital and virtual worlds\, for example\, in online games and other immersive media. Depending on the participants’ interests\, we talk about topics such as (i) priming\, i.e\, how features in the situational environment affect the users’ thoughts and actions\, (ii) fairness\, i.e.\, what fairness policies are meaningful\, and to what extent they are compatible with content personalisation\, (iii) monetisation\, i.e.\, business models for creatives that allow them to earn a livelihood from the content they create\, or (iv) real versus self-assessed behaviour\, i.e.\, the discrepancy known from traditional media between how the users expect themselves to respond to different types of stimuli\, and how they actually respond. Additional suggestions are warmly welcome.  \n \n \n \n \n \n What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Ethics in AI-Driven Educational Practices? \nChair: Teresa Cerratto Pargman\, Associate Professor of HCI\, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV)\, Stockholm UniversityCo-chair: Cormac McGrath\, Department of Education\, Stockholm University \nAbstract This roundtable invites public and private organizations in Sweden to discuss ethical and legal challenges related to AI (i.e.\, machine learning\, deep algorithms\, big data) and learning analytics systems in education. The ambition is to bring together academics and practitioners to discuss these challenges in the actual context of the global pandemic and build the foundation for understanding AI from the social sciences and humanities perspective. \n \n \n \n \n \n Altered Relationships to Autonomous Systems: Somatic Symbiosis\, Correspondence\, Alterity\, or Monster \nChair: Kristina Höök\, Professor in Interaction Design\, KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyCo-chair: Airi Lampinen\, Associate Professor in Human-Computer Interaction\, Stockholm University; Docent in Social Psychology\, University of Helsinki \nAbstract A wave of new theories attempt to shed light on and redefine our relationship to smart objects\, autonomous technologies\, infrastructures and wearables: e.g. postphenomenological\, pragmatist\, somaesthetics\, feminist and sociological theories. They point to novel engagements\, other ways of interacting\, sometimes decentring the “human”\, sometimes enriching or questioning what can be understood as the category “human”. In this roundtable\, we will discuss what these new theories might bring to the table. \n \n \n \n \n \n From Social Simulations to Interactive Games for Policy Makers \nChair: Frank Dignum\, Professor\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå UniversityCo-chair: Cezara Pastrav\, Research Engineer\, Department of Computing Science\, Umeå University \nAbstract Video games are one of the more successful mediums for the communication of complex information in ways that are clear and engaging. Since many successful videogames are basically simulations with a handful of game mechanics thrown in\, can/should we turn our simulations into (serious) games in order to better engage policy makers? In this roundtable\, we’ll discuss whether gamifying simulations for policy makers is a worthwhile idea\, and what are its advantages\, limitations and technical challenges. \n \n \n \n \n \n 15:25-16:00 – Reflections from the roundtables \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration is closed.
