What is your convincing dream scenario for AI – a breakthrough that might fundamentally improve life at a worldwide level?
A dream scenario for me can be to see AI applications and systems for social issues. People not only know, but in addition to seek out paths to resolve or mitigate problems of their communities, as will be advantageous for everybody. For example, something that offers me great hope is when my students for his or her master project on the event of multi-aging AI systems for health care (e.g. mental health, well-being, …), education (e.g.
What is a current project or a breakthrough that you just are particularly pleased with – and what sort of effects, what effects it would have in the true world?
In any case, a project called Carbonsense – driven by IBM Watsonx. Through a partnership between the Institute for Computer Technology on the SJSU and the IBM skills team, we were in a position to use the IBM Cloud Suite Ai Services (Watsonx.ai, Watsonx.Data) to call just just a few) to construct an assistant that permits individuals to make higher decisions for sustainability by reducing ways of reducing them reduce the football for fame. This not only shows how vital it’s to proceed with AI with academic/industry -bringing cooperation, this partnership have to be further improved in order that we will further qualify our already qualified employees and future future qualifications.
What is an application for AI that you just imagine that more people should know – something positive that flies under the radar?
Something that needs to be dropped at light is the incredible work that was done in relation to AI for senior care. This can also be a research area where I work (cyber security, AI and HCI for senior residents/older residents). This is an area during which we now have to speculate loads more time and resources, since this community may be very vital to all of us and we still have to seek out opportunities to develop applications and systems that improve our senior residents or just enable a greater quality of life.
If you’ve to decide on a nightmare scenario that keeps you awake at night – whether realistic or speculative – what would it not be and which warning signs should we take a look at today?
To be honest, provided the AI is “ready” to make current and employees outdated. While we see amazing recent AI applications every single day, there continues to be loads to do to be in a situation during which we will be completely depending on AI. However, I don't just imagine that I’m in a position to have the present and future employees as a part of their skills, and never in a way that does the work for them, but enables or automates a big a part of the required workflow to actually concentrate on providing a serious impact on solutions that contribute to a greater, efficient world.
Who or what do you think that has the strength to stop your nightmare scenario above?
We are honest. Partnerships between science and industry are more precise. As already mentioned, this bridge has never been needed because it is now. More frequent discussions between the 2 should arrange industry consulting bodies at universities to construct higher curricula and construct mentoring programs alternatively, which work closely with university members so as to higher prepare the scholars for the needs of industry.
What are we not talking about within the AI discussion today – something that you just imagine that it could possibly be very vital in five years?
As someone with a background in cyber security and as much as we experience a development with AI applications, security and privacy are still one thing. We are still experiencing problems corresponding to Deepfkes, quick injection attacks that affect systems which are available to the general public, and we now have to be more conscientious about it. We are in a moment of innovation, but we now have to make AI overall more robust.
If you look ahead for 10 years, what do you think that will probably be the most important change in our each day life?
AI systems will probably be the following “calculator” (back then in my time), the following “laptop”, which implies that AI becomes an indispensable tool that strengthens and improves the workflow and/or each day lifetime of the person. And that ought to at all times be the foremost focus of strengthening a tool for strengthening.
Do you think that agi is close? When will we now have AGI?
We definitely catch up with, but I don't think we will probably be there soon. There are still many components to take note of, namely, and as I even have already mentioned, there may be loads to do here. In order to attain the aspect of a AI system, we now have to know and check the systems that designate and develop into more transparent and transparent, and check whether the selections made by these systems are literally ethical. In short, we now have to support and research more about Governance practices in order that we now have an AGI that we actually trust and support.
