In the last year, AI models have rapidly improved on public benchmarks measuring their ability to carry out research tasks autonomously. Such performance suggests that models may be capable of automating parts of the AI R&D process itself, thereby accelerating the pace of AI progress.

HAI Monthly Community Building Reception - Compassionate intelligence: Can machine learning bring more humanity to health care?

November

2019

We will describe the Stanford Medicine Program for AI in Healthcare, which aims to bring AI into clinical use, safely and ethically. The session will begin with an overview of the effort and then focus on describing a project to improve palliative care using machine learning. We will summarize the creation and validation of a mortality prediction model, describe the associated care planning workflow it triggers and the work constraints it needs to function under. We will present  preliminary results on an HAI supported project for understanding and addressing ethical challenges with implementation of machine learning to advance palliative care. Using this real-life example, we will elucidate several of the ethical challenges that need to be studied and addressed when combining artificial intelligence technologies with medical expertise to help doctors make faster, more informed and humane decisions.

The next generation of user experiences will produce 1000-fold improvements in human capabilities.  This new tools will amplify, augment, enhance, and empower people, just as the Web, email, search, navigation, digital photography, and many other applications have already done. Rather than emphasize autonomous machines and humanoid robots as team partners, these new tools will produce comprehensible, predictable, and controllable applications that promote self-efficacy, human responsibility, and social participation at scale.  The goal is to ensure human control, while increasing the level of automation.

Faculty Leaders: Rob Reich and Seth Lazar

Conversations about ethics and AI are commonplace today, but they are often pitched at a high level of generality or abstraction. In this workshop, we gathered together leading young scholars, chiefly philosophers, to discuss a more detailed research agenda with a particular focus on moral and political philosophy and their intersections with AI.  Topics included AI and explainability, AI and value alignment, governance of AI, and more.

China’s government and tech industry have great ambitions for artificial intelligence development and leadership, and Chinese society is facing economic, ethical, and regulatory challenges related to AI much like those around the world. At a time when the U.S. and Chinese governments are locked in escalating disputes over technology and trade, understanding Chinese ambitions, realities, and politics surrounding digital technologies is ever more important. Hosted by DigiChina, a project of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center Program on Geopolitics, Technology and Governance and the New America Cybersecurity Initiative.  Speakers include: Shazeda Ahmed, PhD Candidate, UC Berkeley School of Information; Predoctoral Fellow, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and Center for International Security and CooperationRogier Creemers, Assistant Professor in the Law and Governance of China, University of LeidenAndrew Grotto, William J.

2019

Faculty Leaders: Jeff Hancock, Angèle Christin, Gaby Harari, and Londa Schiebinger

 How can we integrate the human into work on artificial intelligence? How can we best define “human-centered”? Can HAI develop a mechanism that facilitates collaboration across disciplines to promote human-centered AI? These were some of the central questions that brought together 15 Stanford faculty members and researchers from the social sciences, humanities, and computer science for the “Embedding the Human in AI Research” workshop. As ethical AI guidelines are springing up, central questions of human-centeredness and effective collaboration remain open. Between 2011 and 2018, 84 ethical statements appeared globally, with 88% released after 2016 (Jobin, Ienca, & Vayena, Artificial Intelligence: the global landscape of ethics guidelines. Nature Machine Intelligence, 2019). Jobin et al., found that top topics of interest included: transparency, justice & fairness, non-maleficence, responsibility, and privacy. Not well represented was sustainability, defined as deploying AI to help protect the environment, improve the planet’s ecosystem, and promote peace. How do we put such ethical aspirations into action in HAI research? Can we develop a mechanism mechanism for HAI by which social scientists/humanists and technical people collaborate from the VERY BEGINNING when setting research priorities and formulating research questions?  Overall: There was excellent discussion. A number of participants were new faculty at Stanford. They express concerns about time spent on interdisciplinary work, but were intrigued and pleased to be invited. Participants raised questions about how cultural and structural approaches can better be integrated into AI research. While there is growing attention to ethics within technology, ethics is very individualized, despite the fact that inequalities and biases can be systematic.
