Re: Open Forum : Long Email: Introducing Human Centric AI as a SIG-Topic

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing in support of the Human Centric AI SIG application.

In my opinion, Human Centric AI is not something that can be done
immediately.  Rather, there are various works that need to be done to bring
about the tooling required to support Human Centric AI.

It is these works that I hope may be progressed with ISOC via the Human
Centric AI SIG.

It is my strong view that these works provide an alternative to the
solutions that define Human Identity, Digitally via a Wallet.  Whilst
Wallet Advocates are often very passionate and entirely confident that this
is the only solution that is needed for all human beings, whilst they also
work through issues such as considering whose wallet the ‘identity’ of
children should be supported by;

This doesn’t mean that an alternative shouldn’t be allowed, that a ‘Human
Centric AI’ alternative does not better support Cyber Physical Security and
most importantly overall, Human Rights; rather, it is my strong belief,
that there is a great deal about the electronic records of the lives of
persons, that is vital for addressing issues in all of the above noted
areas, alongside many, many others.

The burdens in seeking to define infrastructure for ‘Human Centric AI’
doesn’t simply need to address the sorts of things that people with
significant enough economic means require to support their own personal
Human Centric AI agent, for their homes (ie: like jarvis in ironman?),
vehicles, offices and lives more broadly; but also, how to address the
issues that pertain to the world's most vulnerable, no-matter where they
exist or their circumstances.  The ability to retain access to the critical
records required to seek to preserve human rights via legal due-process is
dependent upon the means through which those records can be usefully
retained and made use of when people most need it, in a timely manner…
There are many, many examples today where this is not feasibly the case.

The objective purpose of this ‘Human Centric AI’ SIG from my perspective,
is to work through the issues and resolve solutions to those issues as are
required to bring about Human Centric AI infrastructure as needed to
support Human Centric AI Agents; private, personal AI agents; that
incorporates the tooling that i was involved in creating via W3C, including
those used for ‘wallets’.

My works historically, led to finding Henry Story around 2012 due to his
work on WebID <https://www.w3.org/community/webid/>and in-turn also, my
work on exploring the functionality of OpenLink Software ‘linked data spaces
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HeivNpzPE-lp6M4vJsoCr91uWCDgxW2V/view?usp=sharing>’
whereby the theory was to plug it into wordpress and similar; whilst
empowering people to manage their own data via ‘information’ or ‘knowledge
banks’... places, that stored information on behalf of users on a basis
that they act in the interests of those account holders (users).

This part of the ‘stack’ was being progressed as RWW
<https://www.w3.org/community/rww/>(See ‘cimba’ app example
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhwAiTOFPrc>; RWW is now advanced as
solid).  Back then, there were various particular use-cases that were not
easily supported, as far as I could tell, by WebID tools. There needed to
be additional functional supports, for Cryptographic containers of
‘electronic evidence’ and 3rd party claims, etc.  This work was being done
via the Web Payments <https://www.w3.org/community/webpayments/> community,
to support web-payments, as discussed at the IGF in 2014
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8cIYzy5MIA>.. It was through the Web
Payments community that the Credentials group emerged
<https://www.w3.org/community/credentials/2014/08/06/call-for-participation-in-credentials-community-group/>,
therein also verifiable claims works were done.  There was a great deal of
contention between the groups…  Indeed Web 3.0 had a different definition
<https://web.archive.org/web/20130122051820/http://jeffsayre.com/2010/09/15/web-3-0-smartups-the-social-web-and-the-web-of-data/>
before ID2020
<https://web.archive.org/web/20150908003750/https://id2020.org/> (inaugural
summit
<http://web.archive.org/web/20160313103740/http://id2020summit.org/#speakers>)
grew to the stage where credentials infrastructure (often known as ‘digital
identity’) became globally commercialised over recent years.  Whilst these
tools were indeed, instrumental; including considerations about data-rights
(ie: RASPS
<https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webpayments/2014Jul/0043.html>)
seemingly not well developed, and Decentralised Identifiers
<https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webpayments/2014May/0033.html>
to support the means to have Linked-Data on non-http based URIs; an
alternative notion of ‘Decentralised IDentity’ became highly involved;
which has many differences.

But whilst i defined the notion of ‘human centric’ in these works, i have
since seen it used in different ways that was seemingly not similar to my
intended meaning, nor does the infrastructure exist to support the
functional requirements associated to the intended purposes of my works;
done, with many others who most certainly disagree about many things,
whilst also agreeing about others.

For instance; I made notes in relation to this WEF Example
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ndXl927HEc8QGzdIu1Jds-B4PHXVghra2hwucKhAThY/edit>
and have otherwise catalogued via Google Alerts Human Centric AI news
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VYcJqDarytcFyIH1gyht4cIaCPW_YWcivsexd9Zdm6A/edit#gid=0>,
whilst noting the use of the term in various UN, G7, G20, EU and other
fora…

Functionally, the technology architecture for defining people via a
‘wallet’ is entirely different to the requirements needed to support the
means for peoples ‘personal ontology’ to be defined by them; and then,
supported with the assistance of a vault; but also, many other
infrastructure elements, such as domain names and means to employ IPv6 to
support protocol level security aspects for decentralised informatics.

Beyond the technical, there are MANY social factors that are thought to be
one of the key areas where ISOC SIG works could be of instrumentally
important utility.  This is both, because the community has the capacity to
understand technical underpinnings; as well as, the social capacity to work
with different communities around the world to figure out how to address
the many social factors.  As is one example;

If you have an extension in your web-browser; that means you directly form
relationships with one-another, as is then supported by a ‘mydata’ / solid
or ‘personal data store’ using (W3C) standards; and then create connections
between one-another via personally owned domain names (inc. inc.
considerations about security extensions & DNS records); then, how to you
categorise your relationships and what ‘safety protocols’ need to be
defined?  How would they work?

Some of my initial thoughts are that, rather than ‘friend’ or ‘connection’
requests;

Users would likely; either,

A. Create an introduction: for contacts 'unknown' to each-other otherwise -
the ability to 'reach out' to create a formal connection, rules.

Or for people that they do know somehow;

B. Create an invitation; for contacts have some prior relation - same as
'introduction' but the difference is whether there's some reason why they
might know of each-other in some way previously - thereafter seeking to
create the semantic connection and related sharing, rules.

(nb: see some basic initial illustrative works:
https://github.com/WebCivics/SocialWeb-WebExtensionDev-v4/ )

When this is done, it would be good to have a set of commonly
(inter-jurisdictional) supported ‘values’ credentials; or the means for
these relationships, both at the time that they are being created and as
they may be adapted and updated overtime; So, i think this could be done by
adapting commonly known ‘values’ instruments, such as Human Rights
instruments; whereby the language then needs to be both defined, agreed,
and translated into many languages both in human and machine readable
formats, to illustrate that the agreements are between one-another in one
or more ‘commons’ groups; rather, than those agreements being more simply
defined as duties sought to be upheld by the ‘state’...


This is where the example UDHR
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1q6Cl__FbUddtKtBPxw2KDviO_PEl7Ti-XYZOT1EQM14/edit#slide=id.p>version
sought to stimulate discussion about how this might be done.  Historically,
I have not found the support needed to work through these sorts of issues;
as to resolve useful derivative outcomes; as needed, in-turn, to make these
systems ‘fit for purpose’...  Then, there are other aspects, like Safety
protocols…


The Notion of Safety Protocols, came about whilst thinking about protocol
works such as NYMTech <https://nymtech.net/> where absolute privacy is
sought to be achieved.  But, there’s many problems in the world… some,
cannot be unlearned…   At one end of the spectrum, there’s technology such
as the ‘avatar’ works being produced by Facebook, as is recently reviewed;

Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVYrJJNdrEg>.  So, who owns it? What
happens if the AI doesn’t like what a person is saying, or their facial
expression; does it change the output based upon what the algorithm
considers to be more appropriate? When will it mute the real-world actor,
and who decides what it does when that occurs; what happens when people go
to ‘facebook prison’, is there an alternative justice system that people
can be sent-to that supports natural justice, for human rights supports
such as lawful remedy and/or judgement via courts of law?


In other areas; i see ‘outrage’ about the implications of efforts to
address child-abuse issues.
https://edri.org/our-work/how-a-hollywood-star-lobbies-the-eu-for-more-surveillance/


Nb also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV1NFYTwM3k


In consideration, these sorts of issues are thought to be the field of
‘safety protocols’ that people could be operating because they want to;
because, when their interacting with others their agent can show that
they’re running the ‘child-safety’ protocols, that their police check is
‘green’ status; or whatever else they want to do, or conversely decide not
to do…


This is in-turn where the ‘safety protocols’ (see draft doc)
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VBBFQbjpXeUad_cgu-3TS67GtXZixA5M9nRdkMDU0Y4/edit#heading=h.sl7he2jnzuo6>,
sought to work through issues to address various ‘social attack vectors
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10exQ8MIJnSWo2YSPJp8gUTpAz1ClcL16RgmrsOiI7uQ/edit#heading=h.xve4xlnszz4m>’
as part of the broader works on ‘digital justice systems’; that have this
very important distinction in mind…


People are not defined by a wallet, rather, they are defined by what they
do…


Therein, as a consequence of producing the technology to inclusively
support the needs of human beings via internet based communications
technologies;  the choices that can be made are very different to those
that are constrained by a wallet based definition of human beings.


Finally, the overwhelmingly more important; far broader implication, is
that this infrastructure is considered essential for supporting knowledge
systems that deliver very different opportunities for how it is that we
define solutions for health, mental wealth & delivery of SDGs.  In
Particular, if there is a future where we can figure out how to define our
lives, our environments and through our surroundings, our means to make use
of elements of natural world medicinally, to adjust the impacts on health
and wellbeing every day; to extend life, then there needs to be an enormous
amount of knowledge work done, to capture and then use both the very
personal and intimate details of our lives, our bodies, our activities &
diet; with, the vast amount of science that is not presently in the correct
format or able to be made available in such a way that helps those most in
need learn how to grow medicinal foods and know how to nurture life.  This
video illustrates the challenges involved in seeking to retain natural
medicinal knowledge
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8jCBt_itAU&list=PLCbmz0VSZ_vpr1Hok5YfMyAFlKcz0eUxx&index=1>.
Traditional Medicine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_medicine>
systems of knowledge exist in all parts of our world, including but not
limited to, Korean
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Korean_medicine>, Africa
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_African_medicine>, India & Nepal
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda>, Brazil

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Cambodian_medicine>, Western
Europe <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_medicine_of_Western_Europe>,
etc.  And if we are to best support the health and wellbeing of all members
of our human family, then our challenge becomes not only figuring out how
to capture this information in a reliably useful way, but also then make it
available in all languages for people who need to get that knowledge when
they are looking for solutions to problems.


The same underlying principles also apply to forging means to address many
other issues in our biosphere
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCbmz0VSZ_vovZZfPYe136pRjE6QotzQX>,
and the means to create healthy ‘villages’
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoYZlyBHyQM&list=PLCbmz0VSZ_vpr1Hok5YfMyAFlKcz0eUxx&index=11>
to improve life and support for the needs of human beings…  SO, whilst I am
aware of the works by WHO to define people
<https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_3043> via
Wallets, as it's seemingly built upon what they know of the credentials
<https://health.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-07/digital-covid-certificates_v4_en.pdf>works;
human centric AI does need these tools but acts to define ‘identity’
differently.  The underpinnings are about human rights, that’s always been
the case since before I started getting involved in the W3C works; seeking
to make sentiments, such as those expressed here ( Australian Way
<https://vimeo.com/30416090> ) truly meaningful. But it does not appear as
though those who have been involved in commercialising outcomes from these
works early on; have the same sorts of views, as the concerns that I have
could have been addressed earlier, but seemingly were not a priority or
part of their designs.  As such, it is my view that Human Centric AI
systems are in-fact different, have different characteristics, can and do
have the capacity to support human rights in many ways better than
alternatives where data is somewhere, associated to a ‘identity wallet’
that is managed somehow; with issues, about whose wallet children exist in,

And these alternatives need your support, your time & input as a matter of
great humanitarian purpose, if we are to successfully do the work needed,
to bring these alternatives visions about; in a way, that becomes
accessible to all members of our human family, so that even the digital
records of the lives of refugees, can be saved and made available for them,
no matter where they end-up.

This is a very big topic, i hope to hear some good questions about it.
There’s a lot i have not gone into in this correspondence; if you have any
questions, i have created https://t.me/HumanCentricAI  which may thereby
supplement your means to otherwise send us all an email or engage in the
forthcoming zoom calls, where i look forward to seeing many of you soon.

I hope this is helpful.

NOTE: Whilst I have my own views, it should be noted that the works should
lead to consensus based outcomes as a group. Efforts done in W3C & ISOC are
about preserving Human Rights both in relation to the issues that are
relatively understood today, and those pertaining to emerging issues.

With a 'solid foundation', upon which we are able to protect human rights,
freedom of thought and the means to eradicate ‘digital slavery’ &
cyber-security threats with far greater capacity than has been otherwise
possible before; it is believed, that these new foundations will in-turn
give rise to an entirely new era of internet, and through technology, an
evolution of human kind well beyond SDGs.

> ROLE WITH W3C

>
> W3C does not historically get involved in works pertaining to the 'social

>
> Whereas Internet Society and its chapters do Actively engage in 'internet
> policy' related matters.  This has historically been associated with
> regional IGF events throughout the world, which then leads to the
> international IGF that has been a critical means through which the UN /

> The Medicinal Earth concept is an upper-level 'objective' concept that I
> have started to use to inform the approach that I am seeking to bring

> identity' as a matter of great importance for human health (and mental

>
> The concept is about the idea that we use ICT / AI in a way that promotes
> our ability to understand how to create medicinal environments and in-turn
> through the use of knowledge, learn how to use those medicinals in our
> daily lives to support our health and wellbeing; both individually, and
> in-turn also moreover socially.

> In-effect, the useful outcome sought to be brought about by Human Centric

> real-world issues in our biosphere / sociosphere, that leads to negative
> consequences that act to inhibit healthy people and healthy environments
> that are needed to provide the supports required to deliver those health &
> mental wealth fundamentals.  This means that we need complex knowledge
> informatics systems; that are then able to be employed personally, with the
> use of personal information to provide context in relation to aspects of

> address many problems, but the barrier is whether or not the knowledge is
> available to identify and implement solutions to any such problems.

> *Consciousness*
>
> The studies into 'consciousness' (as afore mentioned) are applied in terms
> of seeking to attenuate the production of technology (AI / knowledge
> informatics sciences) that does not act to unduly interfere with natural
> agents.  This is increasingly now a field of study, by leading AI experts.

> The Webizen AI repositories have some early work defining or working to
> integrate some host systems, as well as forming the basis to the client.
> In this method, that was done prior to the events that led to renewed
> 'standards' / internet governance related works; the host seeks to use a
> containerised approach for managing end-user 'hosts' which are then
> facilitated via tailscale (wireguard) open-source libraries; that are then
> supported by a variant of WebID-TLS & WebID-DNS (that afaik, doesn't
> actually exist otherwise); the main differences are the ontological methods
> sought to be used, that required testing prior to any work to seek to
> standardise in some way.
>
> This then provided a RWW (early solid) based client on the host-machine;
> which could then be employed via a web-browser extension, to support
> decentralised 'social' apps; whilst, the host environment provided support
> for payments, back-ups, continual presence & 'permissive commons' supports;
> alongside, IPv6 subnets and routing in connection to a users own domain
> name (TLD); which then led to modifications of the DNS supports provided
> via the wireguard based last-mile networking solution…

> The issue that became important to address; was how to support natural
> language ontologies, which are thereby required in-order to support
> implementation.  Whilst I had plans to create a commercial implementation;
