Il Extended Partnership (EP) FAIR “Future Vision Intelligence Research” is proposed as a response from the Italian scientific community operating in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the European and National Strategic Programs on AI. PE FAIR aims to contribute to addressing the research questions, methodologies, models, technologies and also the ethical and legal rules to build Artificial Intelligence systems capable of interacting and collaborating with humans, of perceiving and act within constantly evolving contexts, to be aware of one's limits and capable of adapting to new situations, to be aware of the perimeters of security and trust, and to be attentive to the environmental and social impact that their creation and execution can result.
FAIR imagines new forms of AI:
- human-centered: co-evolving, with the human "in the cycle", at individual and collective levels;
- integrative: bridging different AI methods, technologies, disciplines and skills;
- resilient: operating in challenging, noisy and uncertain real-world contexts;
- adaptive: capable of perceiving, learning and acting in dynamically changing environments;
- high quality: meeting quality standards for high-risk, high-precision and safety-critical applications;
- symbiotic: capable of promoting effective human-machine interaction and collaboration;
- on edge/exascale: capable of operating in both small edge systems and large cloud systems
- pervasive: operating ubiquitously in different social contexts;
- green: able to consider the environmental dimension right from the design stage;
- sustainable and bio-cognitive: capable of imitating the principles of biological systems at multiple scales.
