Re: Societal impact of mega AI, and consolidation of power

Thank you all for the discussion

I may have missed some threads as I am actually off for the summer
*my dad passed away in July, and it has been a shock to the system
 I am picking myself up  for small bits from time to time

David B, thanks for initiating this thread

Patrick, I am glad to see you are now wearing the AI KR hat ,  frame the
role for W3C , and have a plan! And you collaborate with NIST
Do you interact with the other orgs you mention in your email, or can we
think of ways of engaging them on this?

Sebastian S I  see you have shared a roadmap does it relate to this
discussion/thread *or not ?
would be good to have a roadmap for what is being discussed here if you are
focused on roadmapping

@Kasprzik, Argie <A.Kasprzik@zbw.eu>  and Dave R  -  I can see how
sometimes researching human intelligence as a model and developing
intelligent architectures that adopt these models can overlap, I think we
can aim to gain better insights into either/both

Everyone please note that
a) we have a wiki to enter *concise notes and links
https://www.w3.org/community/aikr/wiki/Main_Page
*may need updating

b) we have booked a slot @TPAC 2025, and we may want to convene
before/during/after
to advance some of the discussions. Please continue to elaborate!
https://www.w3.org/community/aikr/wiki/AI_KR_CG_@TPAC_2025
Anyone in attendance? *I ll attend remotely, most likely
At the moment we are shaping  vocabularies and metadata sets, to capture AI
KR domain knowledge,

I feel that what we have in hand is challenging enough for the moment and
non trivial
nonetheless a useful enough starting point, and great to have the long term
vision for this work

if we can get useful resources *say a set of vocabularies out, and we have
enough people willing to commit
to CG, whatever comes next is going to be up to us

This CG counts on you all

I look forward to be settina up in person calls starting from mid Sept
onwards
I ll try to pin everybody's timezone by then

Thank you
Best
