Masterclass: Artificial Intelligence: From Science to Ethics to Regulation with Raja Chatila

Masterclass: Artificial Intelligence: From Science to Ethics to Regulation with Raja Chatila, Emeritus Professor of Robotics, AI and Ethics at ISIR-CNRS and Sorbonne Université, Paris, France

Current AI systems are based on Machine Learning techniques that process data to build statistical models used to make decisions, to predict outcomes or to generate content. They have impressive performance and have become of widespread use in almost all sectors, from Healthcare to Warfare, and are of general use in daily life.
During the masterclass, we will recall scientific and technical foundations of AI systems, illustrate their operation, expose what are their limitations, and why they raise ethical concerns related to safety, human autonomy, understandability, or fairness. We will also discuss the main ethics principles and requirements that should be considered for the design and operation of AI systems, such as safety and security, transparency, human oversight or social end environmental well-being. Finally, we will introduce governance frameworks that are put in place with a focus on the European AI Act.
