In many areas it already seems that AI is in charge, from choosing drivers for a ride, to choosing targets for rocket attacks. None are without a level of human oversight: in some cases the overarching rules are set by humans, in others humans rubber-stamp opaque outcomes of unfathomable systems. Can we design ways for humans and AI to work together that retain essential human autonomy and responsibility, whilst also allowing AI to work to its full potential? These choices are critical as AI is increasingly part of life or death decisions, from diagnosis in healthcare ro autonomous vehicles on highways, furthermore issues of bias and privacy challenge the fairness of society overall and personal sovereignty of our own data. This talk will build on long-term work on AI & HCI and more recent work funded by EU TANGO and SoBigData++ projects. It will discuss some of the ways HCI can help create situations where humans can work effectively alongside AI, and also where AI might help designers create more effective HCI.

Crazy Incentives and How They Kill Security. How Do You Turn the Wheel?Christian Folini
Everybody is driven by incentives. Good incentives persuade us to do the right thing and patch our servers. Bad incentives make us eat unhealthy food and follow stupid security practices.
There is a huge resource problem in IT, especially in the IT security industry. Therefore, you would expect people to pay attention to the existing incentives and the ones they create with their budget allocation, their awareness training, their security reports, etc.
But reality paints a different picture: Bad incentives all around! We see insane security practices eating valuable time and online training annoying corporate users.
But it's even worse. I've come across incentives that lure companies into creating bad products, and I've seen companies create products that incentivize their customers to waste their time.
It takes people like you and me to say "NO" and stand up for real security!
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.

FOUR APPROACHES (IDEAS) FOR AI
Engr. Dr. Jawwad Ahmad
Systems that think
like humans
Systems that think
rationally
Systems that act
like humans
Systems that act
rationally
THOUGHT
BEHAVIOUR
HUMAN RATIONAL
Thinking Humanly
• “The exciting new effort to make computers
think ... machines with minds, in the full and
literal sense” (Haugeland, 1985)
• “The automation of activities that we
associate with human thinking, activities
such as decision-making, problem solving,
learning ...” (Bellman, 1978)
Thinking Rationally
• “The study of mental faculties through the
use of computational models” (Charniak
and McDermott, 1985)
• “The study of the computations that make it
possible to perceive, reason, and act”
(Winston, 1992)
Acting Humanly
• “The art of creating machines that perform
functions that require intelligence when
performed by people” (Kurzweil, 1990)
• “ The study of how to make computers do
things at which, at the moment, people are
better” (Rich and Knight, 1991)
Acting Rationally
• “A field of study that seeks to explain and
emulate intelligent behavior in terms of
computational processes” (Schalkoff, 1990)
• “The branch of computer science that is
concerned with the automation of intelligent
behavior” (Luger and Stubblefield, 1993)
Here a need of Agent is required that will be discussed later in the Course.

Philosophy
(It includes laws governing rationalism, dualism, materialism, empiricism, induction etc.)
Mathematics
(Mathematics formalizes the three main area of AI: computation, logic, and probability)
Economics
(Includes Decision Theory, operational research, and Game Theory etc.)
Psychology
(Provides reasoning models for AI and Strengthen the ideas)
Computer Engineering
(AI has also contributed its own work to computer science, including: time-sharing, the
linked list data type, OOP, etc.)

THE FOUNDATION OF AI
Engr. Dr. Jawwad Ahmad
Control theory and Cybernetics
(The artifacts adjust their actions to do better for the linear as well as non-linear
environment over time based on an objective function and feedback from the
environment)
Linguistics
(For understanding natural languages different approaches has been adopted from
the linguistic work such as Formal languages, Syntactic and semantic analysis and
Knowledge representation)

What is Intelligence?
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to
achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of
intelligence occur in people and animals.
It is the science and engineering of making intelligent
machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It
is related to the similar task of using computers to
understand human intelligence.
