Trustworthy AI – Conceptual challenges and applications
Giuseppe Primiero speaking at AISC2023, 15 December 2023, Genoa, Italy
Giuseppe Primiero will give a talk titled “The role of verification in Trustworthy AI” at the 19th Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Cognitive Sciences (AISC2023). The conference will take place at the University of Genoa, Italy the 14–16 December 2023. The talk will be on the 15th of December 2023, 14.45-15.05.
Abstract of the talk
While a variety of tools are being developed to make ML systems more transparent, logical methods are coming back to play an increasingly important role: by their nature, they may help building and verifying transparent models of computations. A major aim is therefore to develop formal methods that will help the verification of these systems’ trustworthiness and fairness. In this lecture, I will present some recent work in this direction. I will overview the methodology and sketch some principles of the logics developed within the BRIO (Bias, Risk and Opacity in AI) Project (sites.unimi.it/brio) to reason within and about programs with probabilistic outputs obtained under possibly opaque distributions. Under this approach trustworthiness can be formally verified as an admissible distance from the behavior of a fair and transparent counterpart.
Applied Ontologies Lab organised by Roberta Ferrario and Emanuele B. Grifoni at the University of Bergamo
Roberta Ferrario and Emanuele B. Grifoni are giving a Laboratory for an inter-university Master’s Degree Program (University of Bergamo, University of Pavia and IUSS Pavia). The laboratory is about applied ontologies and it is titled “Philosophical Knowledge: Foundations, Methods, Applications”. The laboratory will take place from the 13 December 2023 until the 21 December 2023 at the University of Bergamo.
Emanuele B. Grifoni speaking at ForMoRe Workshop, 20 November 2023, Trento, Italy

Emanuele B. Grifoni speaking at AISC2023, 14 December 2023, Genoa, Italy
Emanuele B. Grifoni will give a talk titled “Judgements, Definitions and Intrinsic Bias in Large Language Models”at the 19th Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Cognitive Sciences (AISC2023). The conference will take place at the University of Genoa, Italy the 14–16 December 2023. The talk will be on the 14th of December 2023, 17.30-17.50.
Abstract of the talk
Through Wittgenstein’s “Investigations” we illustrate an intrinsic bias of Large Language Models (LLMs) at the design level. The current statistical approach cannot account for the normative aspect of rule-following and therefore of communication. This, we believe, is also at the basis of phenomena like “hallucinations” or “confabulations” in LLMs.
Giacomo Zanotti speaking at AISC 2023, Genoa, Italy, 14–16 December 2023
Giacomo Zanotti will present two papers at the 19th Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Cognitive Sciences (AISC 2023): “Explanation(s), Understanding and Trustworthy AI” and “Affective artificial agents and the problem of transparency” (joint work with Marco Facchin). The conference AISC 2023 will be held in Genoa, Italy on December 14–16, 2023.
