Next step in my summer work travelling: lovely and currently very warm Bayreuth, in Upper Franconia, which apparently has the highest number of breweries per capita in the world.
I'm not here (only) for that, though, but rather for the exciting Bayreuth Summer School in Philosophy and Computer Science: www.eis.science/summer-school

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is now discussed (and worried about) more than ever. But is AGI really possible? What assumptions are behind the idea that it is? How plausible are they?

On May 30th, 3.30pm-5pm (CET), philosopher Mazviita Chirimuuta (Edinburgh) will discuss these and related questions here at Umeå University.

How to model sociotechnical aspects of computer and AI applications in ways conducive to assessing their fairness?

In this forthcoming FAccT paper, a collaboration with @vdignum and the Umeå Responsible AI group, we present a tool to help doing that: the ACROCPoLis framewok.

The framework provides a sort of ontology to identify relevant components to consider when assessing the fairness of computer and AI applications. 1/4
