About this Event
Join the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) for our next Accelerating Collaborative Team Science (ACTS) Webinar, The role of AI as a team member in scientific research: The Need for Episodic Memory and GTD (Generate-Test-Debug) Architectures, September 19 at 12:00 pm ET. We'll hear from Dr. Jim Spohrer, former IBM and Apple executive and Co-founder of the International Society of Service Innovation Professionals-ISSIP, and finish with a robust Q&A session. After reviewing some of the history of artificial intelligence, and the challenges of keeping up with accelerating change, we will explore possible future roles for AI as a team member in scientific research. As the marginal cost of computing gets closer to zero, fixing the so-called "hallucination" problem will likely require adding an episodic memory and GTD (Generate-Test-Debug) architecture to existing AI systems. Fixing the "energy consumption" problem for AI tools will also be a major challenge. However, even with these largely technical challenges solved, who owns and controls the evolution of the AI tools used for team science? Who owns and controls the training data and development processes used to create the tools? Would you prefer using a vendor tool, a tool provided by your company or university, a tool you created, a digital twin of you, or a nation-state owned AI tool? Or will you be using all of these types of AI tools and more? Learning to invest wisely in these changes and other changes (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals) will require significant advances in the science of team science. It will also require advances in adjacent disciplines, including game theory, economics, and emerging transdisciplines such as service science that depend on better models of the world, ourselves and each other, and our organizations and tools to achieve trust and win-win outcomes.
