Abstract:
This presentation explores the international regulatory framework governing AI autonomous weapon systems, focusing on the principles of international humanitarian law (IHL). It examines the ethical, legal, and strategic challenges posed by the deployment of AI in military operations, including autonomous decision-making in weapons systems and their implications for human oversight. Through a review of historical examples and recent developments, the study highlights the tension between technological advancements in autonomous weaponry and the need for regulatory measures to ensure compliance with international law. The presentation further discusses the role of major international actors, such as the United States and China, in shaping the global governance of AI in military contexts.

Abstract:
因應現代科技發展與人工智慧浪潮,使用這些便利、高效率的技術提升工作與生活的同時,無法忽略其對於倫理、社會和法律層面的影響。當科技進步而保護規範或道德標準停滯不前時,該如何避免侵害、建立更具責任的人工智慧環境,更是現代新興技術發展不可或缺的核心價值。人工智慧的倫理現今變得由為重要,不只是私人企業連政府也逐漸開始使用並透過人工智慧運作協助其工作的進行。然而人工智慧的使用卻衍伸出了倫理和權利上的議題,包含隱私、安全、公平、平等、問責性、人權及民主 等問題。
為確保課程的內容更具備落地性,本課程將在10/11(五) 10:00am-12:00pm盛邀數位政策專家唐鳳至清大演講。透過其專業、實踐的經驗和同學們分享人工智慧 時代對於民主的影響為何態樣。究竟人工智慧的使用是會促進民主的蓬勃發展,還是成為另一種隱性的阻礙,甚至現有的民主呢?
In light of the rapid advancements in modern technology and the surge of artificial intelligence, it is essential to recognize the impact these convenient and efficient technologies have on ethics, society, and legal frameworks. As technology progresses, yet protective re gulations and moral standards lag behind, addressing how to prevent violations and establish a more responsible AI environment has become a critical value in the development of emerging technologies.
Artificial intelligence ethics are increasingly signifi cant today. Not only are private enterprises adopting AI, but governments are also integrating these technologies into their operations. However, the use of AI raises important ethical and rights related issues, including privacy, security, fairness, equal ity, accountability, human rights, and democracy.
To delve into these pressing issues, we are excited to announce a special lecture by renowned digital policy expert Audrey Tang, taking place on October 11 (Friday) at National Tsing Hua University. With her extensive expertise and practical experience, Tang will explore the impact of the artificial intelligence era on democracy, offering insights into whether AI will enhance democratic development or pose new challenges to existing democratic systems.

5/21(二)_ Pre-trained Models與LLM結合測試_主講人:謝君偉教授(陽明交通大學)
webman
題 目:Pre-trained Models與LLM結合測試
時 間:113年05月21日(二)上午10點10分至12點
地 點:台達館102教室
Abstract:
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated incredible potential in generating text that resembles human writing, as shown in numerous studies. Despite their impressive abilities, training them from scratch is not easy. Recently, model reuse has become a key technique, allowing developers to utilize pre-trained models, ranging from small ones to large language models, to improve the performance and efficiency of their machine learning systems. This presentation will explore how to establish connections between the widely adopted practice of model reuse across different domains and covers various stages of leveraging Pre-Trained Models (PTMs), including data preparation, architecture design, model training, and model inference. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of typical methods for model reuse, we'll address the important issue of how to retrain a model using cost-effective GPUs like Nvidia 4090. We'll also discuss solutions and results based on Phison’s aiDAPTIV platform.

題 目:Learning Visual Perception that Foundation Models Haven’t Learned
時 間:113年01月08日(一)下午13點30分至14點30分
地 點:台達館613會議室
Abstract:
Foundation models have achieved significant success in computer vision research. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) seem promising to address recognition challenges. VLMs excel at picking out fine-grained semantics, including those unseen during training. The Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a strong and general image parser, which generates segmentation masks of any given prompt. However, these models have not fully solved visual perception. Recognition models, including VLMs, are not robust to distribution drifts, caused by factors such as occlusion, sensorial noise, and domain gap. Segmentation models, including SAM, fail to discover and localize parts from the whole in the image. Pixel groupings are often inconsistent at different segmentation granularities. In this talk, I will present our recent works that address both challenges. First, we combined the state-of-the-art image generative models and recognition models. By optimizing the recognition models with the generative objectives, we improved the recognition of out-of-distribution images. Lastly, we introduced unsupervised hierarchical image segmentation frameworks, which generate consistent pixel groupings across segmentation hierarchy.

12/25(一)_ Recent results on learning with diffusion models_Speaker: Ming-Hsuan Yang
webman
Speaker: Ming-Hsuan Yang
Time: 112/12/25(Mon.)10:00-11:30
Place: Delta R106
Abstract:
Diffusion models have been successfully applied to text-to-image generation with state-of-the-art performance. In this talk, I will discuss how these models can be used for low-level vision tasks and 3D scenes. First, I will present our findings on exploiting features from diffusion models and transformers for zero-shot semantic correspondence and other applications. Next, I will describe how we exploit diffusion models as effective prior for dense prediction, such as surface normal, depth, and segmentation. I will then discuss how diffusion models can f a c i l i t a t e a r t i c u l a t e d 3 D reconstruction, 3D scene generation, and novel view synthesis. When time allows, I will present other results on fine-grained text-to-image generation and pixel-wise visual grounding of large multimodal models.

地 點:台達館108教室
Abstract:
What the History of AI Says about its Future: Designing with Non-Use in Mind
Since the term ‘AI’ was introduced in the 1950s, it has been used to describe three entirely different schools of thought about the nature of machine intelligence. Why is this? This talk introduces the forgotten forces behind the origins of ‘AI.' These complex histories provide rich evidence with which to calibrate speculation about AI and AI Ethics in the decades ahead. I introduce one overlooked trend around non-use.
Questions for the students to think about in advance of the class:
How would knowing the intention of your user help you to design an AI system?
How could restraint (when a user chooses not to use a technology) help you design better AI systems?
Bio:
Dr Jonnie Penn, FRSA, is an Associate Teaching Professor of AI Ethics and Society at the University of Cambridge. He is a historian of technology, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, and public speaker.
Penn serves as a Faculty Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, a Research Fellow and Teaching Associate at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, a Research Fellow at St. Edmund’s College and as an Associate Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence.
