Abstract:

The IEEE Future Directions and Digital Reality community have established the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems vision where digital and physical reality are destined, in next decades, to be merged and indistinguishable. Recently the focus has been also on the coexistence, co-creation, and co-organization of artificial and natural entities in the still not completely explored and understood mid-land of hybrid reality, impacting humankind and society. Some entities are going to assume the role of intermediaries and facilitators for humans to sail safe in digital seas. Evolutions in digital twin theory bring a future for autonomous cognitive digital twin. An ubiquitous entity, silent but always present at the periphery of humans daylife. These entities will materialize themselves in order to advise, interpret, guide, prepare, and support humans towards social responsibility and ethics, while guarding them from the risks brought about by the “big picture”. This webinar aims at discussing most promising technologies and architectures for an explainable and extended artificial intelligence that should be at the core of the future digital transformation, in proper control of the abuses and misuses that might generate new forms of societal alienation and divide.
