This program is seen as important for AI adoption, in this case to include the needs of warfighters to effectively collaborate with AI “partners.” Technology adoption is often promoted based on beliefs, which bears little relationship to the benefit a technology will provide. These beliefs include “progress,” technology superiority, and technology as cornucopia. The XAI program has widely promoted a new belief: that AI is in general explainable. As AI systems often have concealed or black box characteristics, the problem of explainability is significant. This paper argues that due to their complexity, AI systems should be approached in a way similar to the way the scientific method is used to approach natural phenomena. One approach encouraged by DARPA, model induction, is based on post-hoc reasoning. Such inductive reasoning is consistent with the scientific method. However, that method has a history of controls that are applied to create confidence in an uncertain, inductive, outcome. The paper proposes some controls consistent with a philosophical examination of black boxes. As AI systems are being used to determine who should have access to scarce resources and who should be punished and in what way, the claim that AI can be explained is important. Widespread recent experimentation with ChatGPT has also highlighted the challenges and expectations of AI systems.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 1","pages":"34-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45789424","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}

Many successes have been reported where AI systems even surpassed the accuracy of human experts. However, AI systems may produce errors, can exhibit bias, may be sensitive to noise in the data, and often lack technical and judicial transparency resulting in reduction in trust and challenges to their adoption. These recent shortcomings and concerns have been documented in both the scientific and general press such as accidents with self-driving cars, biases in healthcare or hiring and face recognition systems for people of color, and seemingly correct decisions later found to be made due to wrong reasons etc. This has resulted in the emergence of many government and regulatory initiatives requiring trustworthy and ethical AI to provide accuracy and robustness, some form of explainability, human control and oversight, elimination of bias, judicial transparency and safety. The challenges in delivery of trustworthy AI systems have motivated intense research on explainable AI systems (XAI). The original aim of XAI is to provide human understandable information of how AI systems make their decisions in order to increase user trust. In this paper we first very briefly summarize current XAI work and then challenge the recent arguments that present “accuracy vs. explainability” as being mutually exclusive and for focusing mainly on deep learning with its limited XAI capabilities. We then present our recommendations for the broad use of XAI in all stages of delivery of high stakes trustworthy AI systems, e.g., development; validation/certification; and trustworthy production and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 1","pages":"46-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48834986","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}

There are more than 600 neurological diseases, but there is no unique automatic standard detection system yet to identify multiple neurological disorders using a single framework. Hence, this study aims to develop a common computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for automatic detection of multiple neurological disorders from EEG signals. In this study, we introduce a new single framework for automatic identification of four common neurological disorders, namely autism, epilepsy, parkinson’s disease, and schizophrenia, from EEG data. The proposed framework is designed based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and spectrogram images of EEG signal for classifying four neurological disorders from healthy subjects (five classes). In the proposed design, firstly, the EEG signals are pre-processed for removing artifacts and noises and then converted into two-dimensional time-frequency-based spectrogram images using short-time Fourier transform. Afterwards, a CNN model is designed to perform five-class classification using those spectrogram images. The proposed method achieves much better performance in both efficiency and accuracy compared to two other popular CNN models: AlexNet and ResNet50. In addition, the performance of the proposed model is also evaluated on binary classification (disease vs. healthy) which also outperforms the state-of-the-art results for tested datasets. The obtained results recommend that our proposed framework will be helpful for developing a CAD system to assist the clinicians and experts in the automatic diagnosis process.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 1","pages":"76-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43529626","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}

Decisions along this route traditionally have been based on engineering or commercial criteria, focusing on providing the best service to users. Although operator companies gather information regarding perceived quality of service among their subscribers, mainly using surveys, engineers work with numerical data more than with people’s interests, feelings, perceptions, or hopes. In other sectors, Design Thinking has arisen as a methodology that allows designers to involve real-world users in implementing new products or services. Thus, we are introducing this methodology for cellular networking, exploring its application in a process that could be designed in a more human-centered way. With this aim, we analyzed the different steps that could be included in the network planning and deployment. From this analysis, we detected which actions have chances to be explored in a human-centered view and thus, can be improved with some Design Thinking tips. Finally, we developed an experience of limited potential, comparing the insights obtained by an empathic interview to those given by traditional surveys, to show what Design Thinking could provide.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 3","pages":"269-278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62589289","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}

In particular, we focus on smart assistants (SAs) that would seek to provide proactive assistance and mediate social interactions between users and other members of their social or support networks. Such systems would potentially have significant utility for users and their caregivers if they could reduce the cognitive load for tasks that help older adults maintain their autonomy and independence. However, proactively supporting even simple tasks, such as providing the user with a summary of a meeting or a conversation, would require a future SA to engage with ethical aspects of human interactions which computational systems currently have difficulty identifying, tracking, and navigating. If SAs fail to perceive ethically relevant aspects of social interactions, the resulting deficit in moral discernment would threaten important aspects of user autonomy and well-being. After describing the dynamic that generates these ethical challenges, we note how simple strategies for prompting user oversight of such systems might also undermine their utility. We conclude by considering how near-future SAs could exacerbate current worries about privacy, commodification of users, trust calibration and injustice.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 4","pages":"291-301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62589094","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}

That has proven to be an ill-judged quest. It has led too many researchers repetitively down too many blind alleys, and embodies many threats to individuals, societies and economies. To increase value and reduce harm, it is necessary to re-conceptualise the field. A review is undertaken of old-AI’s flavours, operational definitions and important exemplars. The heart of the problem is argued to be an inappropriate focus on achieving substitution for human intelligence, either by replicating it in silicon or by inventing something functionally equivalent to it. Humankind instead needs its artefacts to deliver intellectual value different from human intelligence. By devising complementary artefact intelligence (CAI), and combining it with human intelligence, the mission becomes the delivery of augmented intelligence (new-AI). These alternative conceptions can serve the needs of the human race far better than either human or artefact intelligence can alone. The proposed re-conception goes a step further. Inferencing and decision-making lay the foundations for action. Old-AI has tended to compartmentalise discussion, with robotics considered as though it were a parallel or at best overlapping field of endeavour. Combining the intellectual with the physical leads to broader conceptions of far greater value: complementary artefact capability (CAC) and augmented capability (AC). These enable the re-orientation of research to avoid dead-ends and misdirected designs, and deliver techniques that serve real-world needs and amplify humankind’s capacity for responsible innovation.","PeriodicalId":73324,"journal":{"name":"IEEE transactions on technology and society","volume":"4 1","pages":"24-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44601858","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}
