The Future of Safe Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems — Intersection Points
The other day, the next meeting of the monthly scientific and technical seminar “Critical Computer Technologies and Systems”, organized by the Department of Cybersecurity and Intelligent Information Technologies (503), took place.
The scientific supervisor of the seminar is Vyacheslav KHARCHENKO, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Known in Ukraine and far beyond its borders, the seminar has been a platform for professional discussion on the security of complex computer systems for almost a quarter of a century. In May, it will celebrate its 25th anniversary. This time, more than 70 teachers, graduate students, students, engineers and industry representatives from different cities of Ukraine, as well as Canada and Norway, joined the work.
The topic of the session — “General Artificial Intelligence and Neuro-Fuzzy Methods: Issues of Ensuring Trustworthiness and Responsibility” — united scientific approaches to creating safe, reliable and accountable intelligent systems.
The speaker of the event was Dr Serge Dolgikh (Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada) with a report: “The Next Stage — General Artificial Intelligence: Consistency and Responsibility Meet Autonomy”.
The focus is on the challenges of consistency, autonomy and responsibility of new generation artificial intelligence systems.
The Ukrainian scientific dimension was presented by Dr Lesia Dubchak (West Ukrainian National University, Ternopil) with a report: “Neuro-Fuzzy Methods for Classification of Defects in Renewable Energy Facilities”.
Modern approaches to combining neural networks and fuzzy logic to increase the accuracy of diagnostics of complex technical systems were demonstrated.
The reports provided a lot of interesting information, problem statements, and were lively discussed by students and professors, representatives of industry and business.
The seminar once again confirmed its status as a space where fundamental science, engineering practice, and international experience are combined.
New meetings are ahead in March, for which graduate students and doctoral students of the department are preparing with their completed dissertations.
