Dear Colleagues, Per attached; below is the text put forward in the submission to seek to create an ISOC Human Centric AI SIG (global). There are more than 110 active ISOC chapters across six continents. There are various past works that have been done previously to make progress towards this type of concept.. There is significant complimentary between the role and activities of ISOC and that of W3C. NB; Also, - https://www.w3.org/2019/07/isoc.html - https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Offices/ChaptersAndOffices.html - https://www.w3.org/2009/11/isoc-w3c-faq - https://www.w3.org/news/2009/internet-society-and-w3c-strengthen-relationship-to-help-ensure-open-global-internet/ (there are many others, ie: https://www.google.com/search?q=isoc+w3c ) If you would like to support this initiative to create a Human Centric AI SIG; and are not already a member of ISOC (global); https://www.internetsociety.org/become-a-member/ Once you have joined, then go to https://connect.internetsociety.org/ and find the community 'open forum', this may be the link:https://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/community-home?CommunityKey=3a9fa082-a518-475d-9e7f-ecec4ffe56dd This application was supported by some notable people, to whom i am very thankful... Notably therein; as to support the secretariat role, both Roger Clarke https://www.rogerclarke.com/ and Terry Hanisch https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-hanisch-3071a6a/ have volunteered and are expected to co-facilitate this important role; whereby the belief is that their combined skillsets will in-turn provide enormous wisdom to support world-class stewardship of this very important activity. Roger is one of two receipiants of the Australian Privacy Medal ( https://www.rogerclarke.com/DV/APM-091112.html ) his works on 'identity' https://www.rogerclarke.com/ID/ have been instrumentally supportive for my works, over a long period of time. Roger has also had a long-term involvement with ISOC-AU ( https://internet.org.au/ ), and the Australian Privacy Foundation ( https://privacy.org.au/ ) amongst the many aspects to his luminary works overtime. Terry has had very senior roles in various parts of government as a 'metadata' 'guru'... he has also had a long-term role with Web Science Australia, which is in-turn an Australian 'arm' of https://webscience.org/ There are others that have been involved in the establishment of this opportunity, from many parts of the world; which i will seek to illustrate at some time in the near future. Note also; I have set-up a telegram group; as noted, https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-humancentricai/2023Sep/0006.html ( https://t.me/HumanCentricAI ) which i hope will help to improve our means for collaboration / cooperative works; Whilst considering the use of telegram to be 'unofficial' and that we should be looking to establish a W3C Human Centric AI CG Community meeting, soon... ISOC SIG Topic Submission Text Below; (per the form, attached also as a PDF). Timothy Holborn. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Humancentric AI SIG * *Introduction * Human Centric AI; technology, socio-economics, cyber security and international trade systems, have particular requirements to support the needs of natural persons via technologically defined solutions, sought to be defined via ‘commons’ works, to act as a force of good for human rights. The intended purpose was twofold; - To support ‘consciousness’, human rights & equitable supports for rule of law; - To ensure support for peaceful resolution of disputes through the use of electronic evidence. Whilst there are competing definitions of ‘Human Centric AI’, as is also now the case for the term ‘web’. The construct of the term ‘human centric’ (ai) was defined in relation to W3C Works that via various group efforts sought to create the building-blocks needed to make available as an option, the means to elect to use systems whereby the management of information and thereby support for the empowerment of human rights and law; be defined in such a way, whereby human beings were provided the means to define and be supported in managing their own human agency electronically, and that of anyone whom they owe responsibilities of guardianship (ie: parents / kids). W3C Works have matured and now, the social factors needs to be addressed, which will undoubtedly lead to more technical work. The outcomes provide the means to support natural persons as foundational tenants for the use of the peoples internet, as a tool and media system for human rights supports. These works intend to employ IPv6, DNS (ICANN), WWW (W3C)/Semantic Web (RDF) and various emergent protocols; whilst also redesigning email & other ‘identifier’ systems, supported by personal ontology and personal software agents. There are many differences, the job of this SIG is to work through them. The broader outcome sought; is advancement to a knowledge age peacefully, dignifying goals stated by Vannevar Bush & many others thereafter. *What types of activities will you conduct? * A W3C ‘human centric ai’ group has been established, and this is intended to support the extension of those works. The activities are thought to be as follows; Definitions: The means to, define a particular framework for defining what ‘human centric ai’ is technically progress works to define ‘safety protocols’ sought to be brought about for it. Interoperability, portability and other linked issues are considered to be amongst the ‘safety protocols’ scope of works. Use-Cases: illustrating examples, The process will involve people illustrating future ‘visions’, or creative works that are intended to be supported by ‘human centric ai’ systems; and thereby, circulated and advanced by empowered participants who thereby get involved in defining requirements, undertaking SWOT analysis, etc. *Policy Work * IF people are to be provided the means to manage their own personal lives via internet; then, there are various requirements, including IPv6 subnets, ICANN Domain names, Cryptography requirements, etc. There are also various social requirements; such as the means to address bad actors in ways that conform to human rights principles and/or traditional considerations, as now need to be transposed to support this digital transformation series of requirements. There is advocacy work required in regions around the world, inter-domestically, to ensure key policy and decision makers locally are aware of these options that are different to how people use ‘internet’ today, whether they understand the difference between an application such as facebook, the web & internet; or not. There are very significant discussions to be had about the nature and notion of ‘identity’; who we are as individuals and what our basic needs are, to be provided peaceful support for self-determination and in-turn also, what requirements are necessary for accountability & how can these systems be defined ontologically. There are also very significant works needed to define supporting apparatus, that would seek to empower personal & private human centric - ai agents; with ‘commons’ knowledge required to support the function of those agents / software; which in-turn, should be achieved without ‘digital slavery’ practices, processes or supply / distribution chain implications. As is distinct to recreation or sleep; Many people spend time doing work online, so how can this be socioeconomically articulated both in support of human rights and inturn consequently also, taxation systems to supports for civic infrastructure works As a human family and how we may be defined by what it is that we do, to positively impact others. The measures of these works are expected to support the new definition of a billionaire; he or she who positively impacts the lives of a billion people. It is hoped that this may be an attribute that is made possible for many, irrespective of where they are born in our world. It is understood that WHO is seeking to immediately progress ‘digital identity’ works for health. The belief is that the production of medicinal environments can yield far better outcomes than pharmaceuticals via digital identifiers, alone. Human Centric AI in the intended constructs; yields means for the ontological designs of our works, infospheres, inforgs and through our sociosphere efforts to produce a ‘knowledge age’ our biosphere relationships. Yet there are many challenges, which reflects the lack of effective prior works in the many areas that now need to be addressed. For works relating to Human Rights / digital humanitarian infrastructure, these works are focused upon seeking to ensure fair compensation for useful works; only. As to; both, - eradicate ‘digital slavery’, - negate ‘royalties’ or other usury problems - support the ability to deliver ‘obligation free’ outcomes, morally. *Why You Should Select This Topic? * In-order to progress our humanity towards a Knowledge Age, we need ‘Human Centric AI’ technology. Whomever delivers these outcomes; will yield better Cyber-Security, Human Rights supporting Socio-Economic Infrastructure to radically transform productivity capabilities. So lets do it together; as members of our Human Family, here on Earth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHB_G_zWTbc On Tue, 26 Sept 2023 at 07:50, Timothy Holborn <timothy.holborn@gmail.com> wrote: > Please find the content from the email I have forwarded to the ISOC Open > Forum (copy/paste), below... > > any questions, feedback, concerns or otherwise; let me know. > > NB: > https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-humancentricai/2023Sep/0003.html > > > > Hi All, > > I'm writing to the list to introduce my works and ideas about the future > of Human Centric AI. > > Whilst it is my hope that we will successfully bring about this SIG and > through that engage in the discussions and works that provide our sense of > what the requirements for these new types of systems and agents will be, i > thought i would share with you some of my considerations, thoughts and > (draft) works that have been done overtime. > > I note that the submission has attracted support from some wonderfully > skilled, talented and highly capable individuals who are very well placed > to help to advance the beginnings of this topic, as the efforts become > coordinated should this opportunity succeed in attracting sufficient > support, as required to bring it about. > > I will follow-up with more details about the social aspects of the history > at a later stage, whilst encouraging others to reach-out and become added > to the list! > > <https://www.humancentricai.org/> > > There is also a historical website: https://www.humancentricai.org/ and > humancentricai.xyz has also been obtained, to support both the W3C & > hopefully also ISOC works.
