Learning outcomes

The seminar presents the main artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and discusses AI risks and opportunities. In particular, it introduces the main approaches for the development of intelligent systems: a) knowledge representation and automated reasoning, b) machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning), and c) robotics (embodied AI). The topic of algorithmic decisions making is investigated, by examining limits, standards for efficiency and ethics (accuracy, fairness, non-discrimination, transparency). Finally, beneficial uses of AI are illustrated, with particular reference to the protection of rights. Examples of applications in the field of contract analysis, consumer protection and data protection are introduced.
