Re: Paper and talk in 2020, Arlington and reminder tor co chairs statements

Dear all,
Here is my mission statement for the W3 AIKR CG.
The current state-of-the-art of AI is based on machine learning, deep learning and well established methodologies, theories and technologies drawing from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines and fields of engineering.
The European Union, the United Nations and its science and education body UNESCO in particular call for applying an open and inclusive approach to achieving the sustainable development goals, which in practice translates to (1) scientific publications, methodologies and technologies becoming openly accessible and available where possible and (2) a call for the ethical use of artificial intelligence.
In an increasing number of industries and public and private services, including health care, social services, bio and life sciences, engineering, manufacturing but also government and education the use of ICT and artificial intelligence will become all pervasive.
The Internet of Things, eHealth, mHealth and a wide range of services, either in cloud computing settings or local corporate networks will increasingly depend on technologies that use or derive from machine learning, predictive analytics, and autonomous processes or agents, and often processing vast amounts of raw data.
Even the progress of science and engineering becomes increasingly dependent on the use of AI, as clearly seen in the use of AI tools for literature review, statistical analysis, modeling and simulation.
Government, governance, law enforcement, national security and surveillance will all become heavy consumers of AI.
It is evident that to achieve an ethical and wide use of AI the use of knowledge representation becomes key in defining standardized, harmonized, interchangeable and where possible uniform definitions, platforms and software, hardware and firmware implementations for AI.
The W3 AIKR CG can and should therefore consider the following activities and production of deliverables.
<1> Affiliate, collaborate and align with all international organizations that focus on AI and the ethical use thereof, and where activities, programs or projects exist that focus on knowledge representation in particular, to contribute to the standardization, harmonization, interchangeability and uniform application of KR definitions and concepts in platforms and software, hardware and firmware implementations for AI;
<2> Participate in events, conferences, seminars, workshops etc, where the role of KR in AI is a main topic, as defined in <1>

<3> Create an overview, directory or listing of all academic and research institutes which focus on AI and KR in particular;
<4> Create a meta overview of available literature on AI and KR searchable by industry, scientific discipline or field of engineering, or method, theory and technology applied;
<5> Create a Topic Map of AI and KR;
<6> Create proposals and outlines for selected fields (industry, scientific disciplines or fields of engineering) where other working, technical or community groups of the W3 can be engaged, e,g in (e)Governance, Health Care, Bio and Life Sciences, Sustainable Development, Scientific Research.Possible topics: AI for literature review, AI in online search, the use of KR  theories and methodologies in web technologies


I know it is quite ambitious, but in order to be truly productive we should focus on efforts where collaboration with others is possible, to increase reach and impact, interchanging ideas, experience and knowledge.

 Greetings folks
There is an opportunity to make the next contribution to the next AICIO conference in DC
I would like to attend in person, if possible,  and maybe that could be an opportunity to hangouttogether and pitch our work to the CIO community, which is so important (and so much in need of guidance)or if I cannot attend, maybe we can have someone local to go and present
Here is more or les what I have in mind,https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZARdPoWeEZzld1iugl5hlaMh7aaYrJkD7SiEycXvdQ/edit?usp=sharing

 if someone is inspired to co author, let's pitchI think the main challenge is to find agreement on what to say(for example, Carl Own and myself have so far contributed to this topic on this listmay have different opinions for the direction of this work, and speak different languages)I guess thats part of the mission 
I am also reminding co chairs that we are waitinf for their mission statementsto proceed with their nominations
Thanks
PDM
