Don’t pull. ‘Nudge’.” – Encourage people to make decisions that are in their broad self-interest through a relatively subtle policy shift – … or in the interest of somebody else? – Countless government and outside-government “nudge units“: Presumably all have their specific agenda. Classical nudging versus digital nudging – Provided many examples: Look around for more. – Different classes of nudges: Default Option Social Proof Heuristics Reminder Providing Feedback Element of Entertainment Disclosure 2 Recap – Societal-scale Mechanisms Chinese Social Credit System – Economic and societal needs versus fear of dystopian future – Focuses on economic factors and moral values – Implementation at various levels and with “experimental“ agenda Empirical study reveals fascinating differences regarding the treatment of “good“ and “bad“ individuals or organizations Closely observed worldwide. A test case for more ambitious efforts by “nudge units“? 3 What is Artificial Intelligence? No clear consensus on the definition of AI - John McCarthy coined the phrase AI in 1956 - Developed a Q&A on this subject Q. What is artificial intelligence? A. It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human or other intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. Q. Yes, but what is intelligence? A. Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines. http://jmc.stanford.edu/artificial-intelligence/what-is-ai/index.html 4 Different Views Haugeland (1985): The Whinston (1992): The exciting new effort to study of the computations make computers think … that make it possible to machines with minds, in perceive, reason and act. the full and literal sense. Thinking humanly Thinking rationally Acting humanly Acting rationally Kurzweil (1990): The art Luger and Stubblefield of creating machines that (1993): The branch of perform functions that computer science that is require intelligence when concerned with the performed by people. automation of intelligent behavior. Preferred technical view: Acting rationally Rational: maximize goal achievement; no mistakes 5 Another “Working Definition” of AI Artificial intelligence is the study of how to make computers do things that people are better at or would be better at if: They could extend what they do to a World Wide Web-sized amount of data Not make mistakes Clearly motivated by the “acting rationally“ view. 6 Is AI Rational? Are Humans? Comic (1990?) Humans are amazing in their abilities, but also boundedly rational. 7 More Definitions? I am glad you asked… “AI can have two purposes. One is to use the power of computers to augment human thinking, just as we use motors to augment human or horse power. Robotics and expert systems are major branches of that. The other is to use a computer's artificial intelligence to understand how humans think. In a humanoid way. If you test your programs not merely by what they can accomplish, but how they accomplish it, then you're really doing cognitive science; you're using AI to understand the human mind.” Herbert Simon 8  How to Measure “Success“ in an AI world? Turing Test Add vision and robotics to get the total Turing test. One critique of Turing test: Focus on Turing test leads to non-serious, gimmick-like work. 9  Eliza: Psychotherapist Program Simple strategies used: – Keywords and pre-canned responses “Perhaps, I could get along with my mother.“ or more generally: + {mother | father | brother | sister …} à “Can you tell me more about your family?“ – Parroting: “My boyfriend made me come here?“ à “Your boyfriend made you come here?“ – Highly general questions: Conceived by Joseph Weizenbaum In what way? in 1966 Can you give a specific example? 10 Loebner Prize (1991 - 2019) Forum for competitive Turing tests – Rules evolved, e.g., 5 minutes conversation until 2003; later more than 20 minutes – Bots cannot be connected to the Internet Categories: – Gold prize (audio and visual) – Never won No successful Turing test – Silver prize (text only) – Never won according to current rules – Bronze medal: Computer system with the “most human” conversational behavior in a given year Competitions are a central factor in AI progress! 11 Steve Worswick 5-Times Winner of most human-like chatbot with his System Mitsuku Interview with Worswick: "What keeps me going is when I get emails or comments in the chat-logs from people telling me how Mitsuku has helped them with a situation whether it was dating advice, being bullied at school, coping with illness or even advice about job interviews. I also get many elderly people who talk to her for companionship." Commentary: Any advertiser who doesn't sit bolt upright after reading that doesn't understand the dark art of manipulation on which their craft depends. Wall Street Journal "Advertising's New Frontier: Talk to the Bot“ (2015) 12 Ashley Madison Data Breach Site for extra-marital affairs July 2015: data theft including emails, names, home addresses, sexual fantasies and credit card information— and threatened to post the data online … and code for bots Data fields tell us that 20 million men out of 31 million received bot mail, and about 11 million of them were chatted up by an automated “engager.” 13 https://gizmodo.com/ashley-madison-code-shows-more-women-and-more-bots-1727613924  Presentation by Sundar Pichai (Google CEO): Another Much More Sophisticated Example Google Duplex: A.I. Assistant – Natural language processing – Deep learning – Text to speech conversion What is Deep Learning? – Typically based on artificial neural networks – Each level of the network learns to transform its input data into a slightly more abstract and composite representation More recent example: GPT-4o „With GPT-4o, we trained a single new model end-to-end across text, vision, and audio, meaning that all inputs and outputs are processed by the same neural network“ https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5VN56jQMWM 14 Strong versus Weak AI Strong AI is artificial intelligence that matches or exceeds human intelligence — the intelligence of a machine that can successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can. – Primary goal of artificial intelligence research and an important topic for science fiction writers and futurists – Strong AI is also referred to as "artificial general intelligence“ or as the ability to perform "general intelligent action" – Science fiction associates strong AI with such human traits as consciousness, sentience, sapience and self-awareness Weak AI is an artificial intelligence system which is not intended to match or exceed the capabilities of human beings, as opposed to strong AI, which is. Also known as applied AI or narrow AI. – The weak AI hypothesis: Philosophical position that machines can demonstrate intelligence, but do not necessarily have a mind, mental states or consciousness What is possible? 15 How Intelligent or Conscious Can Machines Get?

(2023): Classified 514 cases Applied AI Study (2023): 18% of the AI systems are in the high-risk class, 42% are low-risk, and for 40% it is unclear whether they fall into the high-risk class or not. Thus, the percentage of high-risk systems in this sample ranges from 18% to 58%. One of the AI systems may be prohibited. Most high-risk systems are expected to be in human resources, customer service, accounting and finance, and legal. Note: Studies referred to the AI Act Proposal from 2021.
