Whole brain Probabilistic Generative Model toward Realizing Cognitive Architecture for Developmental Robots
Building a humanlike integrative artificial cognitive system, that is, an
artificial general intelligence, is one of the goals in artificial intelligence
and developmental robotics. Furthermore, a computational model that enables an
artificial cognitive system to achieve cognitive development will be an
excellent reference for brain and cognitive science. This paper describes the
development of a cognitive architecture using probabilistic generative models
(PGMs) to fully mirror the human cognitive system. The integrative model is
called a whole-brain PGM (WB-PGM). It is both brain-inspired and PGMbased. In
this paper, the process of building the WB-PGM and learning from the human
brain to build cognitive architectures is described.Comment: 55 pages, 8 figures, submitted to Neural Network
The challenges and opportunities of human-centred AI for trustworthy robots and autonomous systems
The trustworthiness of robots and autonomous systems (RAS) has taken a prominent position on the way towards full autonomy. This work is the first to systematically explore the key facets of human-centred AI for trustworthy RAS. We identified five key properties of a trustworthy RAS, i.e., RAS must be (i) safe in any uncertain and dynamic environment; (ii) secure, i.e., protect itself from cyber threats; (iii) healthy and fault-tolerant; (iv) trusted and easy to use to enable effective human-machine interaction (HMI); (v) compliant with the law and ethical expectations. While the applications of RAS have mainly focused on performance and productivity, not enough scientific attention has been paid to the risks posed by advanced AI in RAS. We analytically examine the challenges of implementing trustworthy RAS with respect to the five key properties and explore the role and roadmap of AI technologies in ensuring the trustworthiness of RAS in respect of safety, security, health, HMI, and ethics. A new acceptance model of RAS is provided as a framework for human-centric AI requirements and for implementing trustworthy RAS by design. This approach promotes human-level intelligence to augment human capabilities and focuses on contribution to humanity
