AI Agora Double Seminar

On Nov 1st we have a double seminar in AI Agora addressing communication between humans AI systems and computational creativity. 

At 13:15 Jonas Ivarsson will talk about "Understanding Trust and Conversational Agents". Look here for more information: https://ai-agora.uib.no/seminar/jonas-ivarsson-understanding-trust-and-conversational-agents-1-november-1315-14/. 

Jonas Ivarsson is a professor of informatics. He started in cognitive science and communication studies before moving to education. In 2013 he became a professor of education, where his research focused on the role of various technologies in developing knowledge and competence.

In 2019 he moved to Informatics at the Department of Applied Information Technology at the University of Gothenburg. There, his role is to take the lead on the emerging research on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence—a specific approach to the interplay between humans and machines in the context of artificial intelligence. Central to this approach are questions relating to how to design AI systems to operate in the context of human users and how to design learning trajectories of humans so that they can intelligently interact with increasingly complex semi-autonomous systems.

At 14:15 Geraint A. Wiggins will present his work "The Scientific and Computational Study of Creativity". Look here for more information: https://ai-agora.uib.no/seminar/geraint-a-wiggins-the-scientific-and-computational-study-of-creativity-1-november-1415-16/.

Geraint has worked in artificial intelligence, computer music, and cognitive science since 1984. He was one of the founders of the research field of computational creativity, which studies creative intelligence, and was the first in the world to hold a named professorial chair in that research area. His current work relates to cognitive architectures that explicate the relationship between perception, learning and creativity, in sequential domains, most notably language and music.
