To make smart and real-time decisions without latency in communication from these voluminous data is a tedious task. In this context, selecting informative frames from the video is of great importance that helps to extract only the salient features for further processing without latency and bandwidth constraints. In this paper, we are proposing a fast and reliable method for selecting informative frames from video sequences based on the human cognition process of visual attention to preserve the Spatio-temporal properties of the video. The proposed method extracts the informative frames using the frame informative score calculated based on visual attention maps, superpixel segmentation, and temporal information. Since our purpose is for analyzing crowd behavior from video data in a smart environment, we take two publicly available crowd video datasets for our experiments. The results show that the proposed approach is successful in extracting relevant video frames in linear time by preserving their spatial and temporal properties. We also analyze the feasibility of the proposed method in a fog computing-based simulated IoT framework, and it has been verified that the proposed cognitive approach could efficiently address the concerns of latency and bandwidth in smart surveillance environments.","PeriodicalId":239334,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116769419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Juxtaposed with Marshall McLuhan's interconnected global village projection [2] this has focused attention on coexistence predicated on transnational commerce, migration, culture and marketplace, leading to the prioritization of business management and organizational learning for effective human functioning in social systems. This paper introduces the thinking and discourse [3] of late North American Indigenous Elder William Commanda (1913–2011) [4] into the ongoing explorations of Wiener's watershed work. While not representative of all Indigenous thinking on technology and communications, his approach involves the unique and dynamic integration of value, communication, technology and navigation in the projection of ideas for a global village available in online format that offers a model for analysis. The central point is that his understanding of a social system is emergent from relationality grounded in the laws of nature inclusive of a spiritual (not religious) value dimension, that technology and communications are accessed to affirm this systemic configuration, and that today the global village is the idiom for its manifestation. This paper examines his conceptualization of a microcosmic virtual global village with reach across time and space.","PeriodicalId":239334,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114967975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The usage of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasing enormously with every passing year, and it is becoming a part of our daily life. We are using this technology not only as a tool to enhance our rationality but also heightening them as the autonomous ethical agent for our future society. Norbert Wiener envisaged ‘Cybernetics’ with a view of a brain-machine interface to augment human beings' biological rationality. Being an autonomous ethical agent presupposes an ‘agency’ in moral decision-making procedure. According to agency's contemporary theories, AI robots might be entitled to some minimal rational agency. However, that minimal agency might not be adequate for a fully autonomous ethical agent's performance in the future. If we plan to implement them as an ethical agent for the future society, it will be difficult for us to judge their actual stand as a moral agent. It is well known that any kind of moral agency presupposes consciousness and mental representations, which cannot be articulated synthetically until today. We can only anticipate that this milestone will be achieved by AI scientists shortly, which will further help them triumph over ‘the problem of ethical agency in AI’. Philosophers are currently trying a probe of the pre-existing ethical theories to build a guidance framework for the AI robots and construct a tangible overview of artificial moral agency. Although, no unanimous solution is available yet. It will land up in another conflicting situation between biological, moral agency and autonomous ethical agency, which will leave us in a baffled state. Creating rational and ethical AI machines will be a fundamental future research problem for the AI field. This paper aims to investigate ‘the problem of moral agency in AI’ from a philosophical outset and hold a survey of the relevant philosophical discussions to find a resolution for the same.","PeriodicalId":239334,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW)","volume":"72 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127161758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Media Engagement Theory offers values-based and cultural modes of regulation to tackle the harms posed to children by mass media and disruptive new technologies. Here, we build on this theory through an exploration of the ‘Law of the Dog,’ which is an innovative educational approach that teaches children to approach their screens with an informed and skeptical indifference — in the same manner that an animal would meet a novel object in its environment, before it knows whether or not that object poses a threat. This discussion will draw upon evolutionary psychology to argue why the emotions of ‘vigilance’ and ‘aversion’ are especially effective in teaching children how to approach new media. We aim to teach children to become cautious skeptics rather than naïve and enthusiastic consumers. With the rise of deep fakes and false information flooding the Internet, this approach has value for the broader audience as well.","PeriodicalId":239334,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114346547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis of robot mediation of funerals challenges the idea that death rituals are exclusively human performances and experiences, and instead repositions them as cybernetic systems of entanglement and impact. The paper begins with an introduction to the relevance of postphenomenological theory, then moves to the case of CARL, a robot that enables remote participation in funeral ceremonies. We argue that the [Human–Robot–Funeral] relation and its variants are both engaging and alienating, through revealing-concealing, magnification-reduction and a more generalised enabling-constraining. Technological mediation is also evident in the case of Pepper, a robot that has officiated at funerals as a Buddhist monk. We describe similarities and differences in the way CARL and Pepper manifest the [Human–Robot–Funeral] relation. The final example is AIBO, a companion robot that becomes the locus of a funeral ritual. This offers a radical case that directly challenges humans' self-proclaimed exceptional ontology.","PeriodicalId":239334,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century (21CW)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121846088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
