Online consultation via Teams on the Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence Master's supplementary course for BME VIK students, Aug. 29, Tuesday, between 5 and 6 PM.
-
Research into the laws and automation of rational thinking and acting has been going on for centuries and has accelerated over the last eight decades within the framework of artificial intelligence (AI). The technological advances of the last decade have opened the door to the mass production of AI products and prompted an existential question: how to create an ethical and human-centered AI regulation that also protects the Earth's biosphere and supports further development?
The singe-day Human-Centred Regulation of AI (HCRAI) Conference will be held on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Speakers will discuss the EU AI Act, including its objectives, structure, interpretation, available information resources and educational elements, case studies, as well as practical steps required for different stakeholders and AI developers.
The morning session will overview various aspects of the EU AI Act, and the afternoon session will highlight educational and technological challenges and present case studies. The conference will end with a round-table discussion.
Speakers: B. Hankó (State secretary, MCI), J. Levendovszky (Vice rector, BME), H. Charaf (Dean, BME VIK), D. Tzanidakis, D. Petrányi (ELTE), L. Bódis (Deputy state secretary, MCI), Á. Tényi (E-Group), TBA (QTICS), B. Feeney (HCAIM project, TUD), P. Antal (BME VIK), K. Mezei (BME GTK), M. Héder (BME GTK), Sz. Németh (Continental), TBA (NVIDIA), TBA (Microsoft), Tarry Singh, (Real AI B.V.), Gabriele Franco, and more.

An HTE evening club entitled Ethical Artificial Intelligence - in Health Care will be held on 24 April 2023 from 16h in BME’s Building I, Room IB023 (Budapest, XI. Magyar tudósok körútja 2.). Abstract: The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on society is already a reality today, as evidenced by the staggering levels of digital addiction, social polarisation and fake news. Drawing on developments in bioethics and medical ethics, leading researchers in the field of AI are proposing similar ethical and regulatory frameworks for drug development and medical device development. The first lecture in the evening club series will present the AI Act, the EU's draft AI regulation. Speakers: Dr. Eszter Takácsi-Nagy (Kinstellar Ügyvédi Iroda), Attila Zoltán Jenei (BME-TMIT), Marcell Sebestyén (BME-FTT), Tamás Nagy (Semmelweis University), Dániel Sándor (BME-MIT).
