Limits of Machines, Limits of Humans

Vortrag

Edward A. Lee, distinguished computer scientist and expert on societal implications of technology, will talk about the limits of explainable AI.

To advance the interdisciplinary dialogue between informatics, humanities, and politics, TU Wien Informatics, the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology (BMK), TU Wien Informatics Doctoral School and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CAIML) cooperate within Digital Humanism Initiatives. Digital Humanism is at the forefront of current debates concerning human-technology interaction. In March 2022, TU Wien Informatics, the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CAIML), and IWM launched the Digital Humanism Fellowship to foster academic exchange across disciplines and institutional boundaries. The first Senior Fellow and visiting professor at TU Wien Informatics is Edward A. Lee, Robert S. Pepper Distinguished Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at the University of California at Berkeley. -- Welcome Address: Gerti Kappel, Dean of TU Wien Informatics & Michael Wiesmüller, Head of the Department for Key Enabling Technologies in Industrial Innovation at BMK -- Introduction to the Digital Humanism Fellowship Program: Ludger Hagedorn, IWM Permanent Fellow -- Public Lecture “Limits of Machines, Limits of Humans” Edward A. Lee, Robert S. Pepper Distinguished Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at UC Berkeley, Guest professor at TU Wien Informatics, Senior Fellow of the IWM Digital Humanism Fellowship Program -- Moderation by Stefan Woltran, Professor at TU Wien Informatics, Head of the Research Unit Databases and AI, and Co-Head of the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CAIML)

Edward Ashford Lee has been working on software systems for 40 years. He currently divides his time between software systems research and studies of philosophical and societal implications of technology. After education at Yale, MIT, and Bell Labs, he landed at Berkeley, where he is now a Professor at the Graduate School in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. His software research focuses on cyber-physical systems, which integrate computing with the physical world. He is the author of several textbooks and two general-audience books, The Coevolution: The Entwined Futures and Humans and Machines (2020) and Plato and the Nerd: The Creative Partnership of Humans and Technology (2017).
