Intelligence Augmentation - for discussion in reading group on Monday 8 June 09 Dr Lydia Lau School of Computing University of Leeds UK Who & what (i) • Came across IA from Gerhard Fischer (Colorado)’s work “Rethinking and reinventing Artificial Intelligence from the perspective of human-centered computational artifacts”, 1995. • An update from his talk on “Meta-Design: Putting Owners of Problems in Charge”, July 2006. – AI vs IA : See slides 3 & 4 – Angle : Co-evolution as a meta-design approach for IA : see slides 16,19,20,21,39 – In particular “Seeding, Evolutionary Growth, Reseeding (SER) Model” : slide 43 – For AWESOME (see slide 51) 8 Jan 09 IA - reading group discussion 2 Who and what (ii) • Pattie Maes (MIT Media Lab) http://www.kurzweilai.net/meme/frame.html?main=/articles/art0 264.html (2001) – Angle: using software agents – Vision for IA: “…as a result that one individual can be super-intelligent, so it's more about making people more intelligent and allowing people to be able to deal with more stuff, more problems, more tasks, more information. Rather than copying ourselves, …” • Bradley Rhodes (MIT then a company) – A seminar given at Stanford... – Angle: Software agents / JIT info retrieval agents / wearable computers/ augmented reality – Challenges for IA : slides 28, 34-37 8 Jan 09 IA - reading group discussion 3 Who and what (iii) • Douglas Engelbart (Stanford Research Institute) http://bootstrap.org/augdocs/friedewald030402/augmentinghu manintellect/ahi62index.html (1962) – Angle: AUGMENTING HUMAN INTELLECT - A Conceptual Framework – “By ‘augmenting human intellect’ we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems. … by "complex situations" we include the professional problems of diplomats, executives, social scientists, life scientists, physical scientists, attorneys, designers … We refer to a way of life in an integrated domain where hunches, cut-and-try, intangibles, and the human "feel for a situation" usefully co-exist with powerful concepts, streamlined terminology and notation, sophisticated methods, and high-powered electronic aids.” 8 Jan 09 IA - reading group discussion 4 Englebart - continue • Proposed framework examined the following structure types – Mental structuring – Concept structuring – Symbol structuring – Process structuring – Physical structuring • (LL : compare with these labels – Cognition – Ontology – Language (NLP …) – Practices – IT ) 8 Jan 09 IA - reading group discussion 5 Relevance to my work • Goals unchanged but the means to achieve them are different! • Common vision: extending human intelligence, not replacing it. • Using groups and communities for enhancement – collective intelligence (processes/data/roles) – E-science example – E-learning example • Technologies – Social computing & semantics • Design approach – ethnographic / scenarios / meta-design? 8 Jan 09 IA - reading group discussion 6
