Unfortunately, language barriers still hamper cross-lingual communication andthefreeflowofknowledgeandthoughtacrosslanguagecommunitiesandcontinuetobe unbreachable in many situations. While multilingualism is one of the key culturalcornerstones of Europe and signifies part of what it means to be and to feel European,no EU policy has been proposed to address the problem of language barriers.Artif…
Every machine learning system has hyperparameters, and the most basic task inautomated machine learning (AutoML) is to automatically set these hyperparam-eters to optimize performance. Especially recent deep neural networks cruciallydepend on a wide range of hyperparameter choices about the neural network’s archi-tecture, regularization, and optimization. Automated hyperpa…

In order to achieve such Artif…
The intersection of AI, the Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing has kindled the edge AI revolution that promises to redefine how we perceive and interact with the physical world through intelligent devices. Edge AI moves intelligence from the network centre to the devices at its edge, entrusting these endpoints to analyse data locally, make decisions, and provide real-time responses. Re…
This book comprises three parts. In Part I (Chaps. 2–7) we sketch the basic concepts andarchitecture of metalearning systems, especially focusing on which types of “metaknowl-edge” can be collected by observing the performance of different models on prior tasksand how this can be used within metalearning approaches to learn new tasks more effi-ciently. Since this type of metalearning is c…
It should be more widely appreciated that literature is a kind of scientific tool that can be used to shed light on consciousness. The argument is that the richest description of the phenomenon of human experience come from our finest writers, who are capable of capturing moments in time in exquisite detail from multiple perspectives. In this view, there is no …
In Isaac Asimov’s story, Someday (1956a), two young boys, Nic-colo and Paul, describe a world both clearly past and future for us. On the one hand, their descriptions of technology show the story’s age. Personal computers are run by valves and updated by reels of magnetic tape; there is no internet, no wifi, or cell technology — all the silly and fundamental …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely used in society today. The (mis)use of biased data sets in machine learning applications is well?known, resulting in discrimination and exclusion of citizens. Another example is the use of non?transparent algorithms that can’t explain themselves to users, resulting in the AI not being trusted and therefore not being used when it might be beneficial to us…
It is impossible to talk about human cognition without talking about concepts—there simplyisno human cognition without concepts. Concepts form an abstractionof reality that is central to the functioning of the human mind. Conceptual knowledge(of e.g., APPLE, LOVE and BEFORE) is crucial for us to categorize, understand,and reason about the world. Only equipped with concepts and words for them …
rtificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to address some of the biggest challenges in education today, innovate teaching and learning practices, and ultimately accelerate the progress towards SDG 4. However, these rapid technological developments inevitably bring multiple risks and challenges, which have so far outpaced policy debates and regulatory frameworks. This publication offers gui…

A broad set of data science methods covered, including …
Artificial intelligence (AI) permeates our lives in a growing number of ways. Relying solely on traditional, technology-driven approaches won't suffice to develop and deploy that technology in a way that truly enhances human experience. A new concept is desperately needed to reach that goal. That concept is Human-Centered AI (HCAI). With 29 captivating chapters, this book delves deep into the r…
Many human mental activities such as writing computer programs, doing mathematics, engaging in commonsense reasoning, understanding language, and even driving an automobile are said to demand "intelligence." Over the past few decades, several computer systems have been built that can perform tasks such as these. Specifically, there are computer systems that can diagnose diseases, plan the synth…

Can computers be creative? Is algorithmic art just a form of Candy Crush? Cutting through the smoke and mirrors surrounding computation, robotics and artificial intelligence, Joanna Zylinska argues that, to understand the promise of AI for the creative fields, we must not confine ourselves solely to the realm of aesthetics. Instead, we need to address the role and position of the human in the c…
When it was originally published in 2002, Sue Curry Jansen’s “What Was Artificial Intelligence?” attracted little notice. The long essay was published as a chapter in Jansen’s Critical Communication Theory, a book whose wisdom and erudition failed to register across the many fields it addressed. One explanation for the neglect, ironic and telling, is that Jansen’s sheer scope as an in…
This report, published by the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), has been written entirely by humans. Likewise, we expect that advisory reports like this one will continue to be written by humans. The same applies to the larger part of journalism, despite what the introductory quote might suggest. In fact, it later became apparent that humans had indeed written m…

Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are powerful forces that will likely have large impacts on the size, direction, and composition of international trade flows. This book discusses how industrial robots, automation, and AI affect international growth, trade, productivity, employment, wages, and welfare. The book explains new approaches on how robots and artificial intelligence affect the w…
The idea that we learn by interacting with our environment is probably the first to occur to us when we think about the nature of learning. When an infant plays, waves its arms, or looks about, it has no explicit teacher, but it does have a direct sensorimotor connection to its environment. Exercising this connection produces a wealth of information about cause and effect, about the consequence…
Thus we are not going to talk about the consequences that the new wave in AI might have for the empiricism/rationalism debate (see Buckner 2018), nor are we going to consider—much—the question of whether it is reasonable to say that what these programs do is ‘learning’ in anything like the sense with which we are familiar (Buckner 2019, 4.2), and we’ll pass over interestin…
We call ourselves Homo sapiens—man the wise—because our intelligence is so important to us. For thousands of years, we have tried to understand how we think; that is, how a mere handful of matter can perceive, understand, predict, and manipulate a world far larger and more complicated than itself. The field of artificial intelligence, or AI, goes further still: it ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE at…

Soft computing is an innovative approach to constructing computationally intelligent systems, has just come into the limelight. Its now realized that complex real world problems require intelligent systems that combine knowledge, techniques, and methodologies from various sources.
AI Art has been shaped by a number of broader questions with regard to art, media and technology: Is there an ontological difference between early computergenerated art, net art and the more recent forms of AI-driven art? Or is it just a difference of degree, i.e. of the mode and intensity of technological entanglement?
