Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming industries, services, jobs, and even whole societies. Thanks to powerful algorithms, today's information systems are able to solve complex problems in areas as varied as structural engineering, medicine, genetics, environment, and transportation, while machine learning is even improving how computers themselves are developed. Meanwhile, new hardware developments, such as heterogeneous architectures which deliver energy savings without compromising performance gains, offer AI exciting opportunities for development. Linking both software and hardware, from embedded systems to high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, can inspire creative solutions which can improve both individuals' quality of life and society as a whole.
However, in parallel, ethical issues are arising: for example, there are emerging conversations about the social impact of AI, diversity and data biases, the application of decision-making algorithms in real life and the ensuing responsibility for these issues.
This two-part workshop will delve into this fascinating and influential field from both the technology and application sides. The first part will feature presentations on how novel computer architectures are powering artificial intelligence applications, or conversely how artificial intelligence is helping develop innovative computer architectures.
In the second part, a multidisciplinary panel will turn this on its head, exploring what kind of applications AI is being used for in daily life. The panel will also explore questions related to the application of AI, such as ethical issues.
