1st International Workshop on
New Foundations for Human-Centered AI
ECAI Logo
September 4, 2020. Virtual Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
A full day workshop, part of ECAI-2020.

Program

The main question addressed by this workshop is: what are the scientific and technological gaps that we have to fill in order to make AI systems human-centered, in terms of the ethics guidelines set by the European High Level Expert Group? To answer this question, we will leverage three strategic keynote talks, presenting the ethics guidelines and the scientific and technological approach by two major European projects; a number of contributed presentations in plenary and poster sessions; and live collaborative sessions featuring joint work and guided discussions.

The workshop runs entirely online, using the following tools:

You can join the workshop via the Digital ECAI platform here.
