Machine intelligence promises a lot
• “The potential benefits are huge, since
everything that civilization has to offer is
a product of human intelligence; we
cannot predict what we might achieve
when this intelligence is magnified by
the tools AI may provide, but the
eradication of disease and poverty are
not unfathomable”.
• “Because of the great potential of AI, it
is important to research how to reap its
benefits while avoiding potential pitfalls”
• Signators: Stephen Hawking, Start
Russel, Max Tegmark, Frank Wilczek

On the other hand….
"machines will be capable, within
twenty years, of doing any work a
man can do”
Herbert Simon, 1965
"In from three to eight years we will
have a machine with the general
intelligence of an average human
being”.
Marvin Minsky, 1970
Co-Creative Intelligence (CCI) – next step in services
More computational power, memory, data, networking bandwidth, clouds
+
Advanced algorithms (machine learning, statistics, control theory, semantics)
Human and machine intelligence co-create (CCI)
New services
Learning Gamification Retail Marketing Finance Media … Others
• Even small improvements in platform performance mean big amounts of money huge investments in R&D
• It is crucial for Finland to be in the forefront in Co-creative Intelligence
MAIN OBJECTIVES (based on workshop in Oulu)
• Develop CCI competencies & tools for growth, competiveness and new jobs
– Big data
– Human centric computing
– Tools for assisted thought processes
– Business thinking
• Develop platforms for efficient co-creation and sharing of data & resources
• Achieve competitive edge globally in key services
– Learning and gamification (learning + doing)
– Retail
– Finance
– Media
• Adopt and contribute to standards for robust and beneficial solutions
– Transparency (explanatory services)
– Socio-economic impact
– Law and ethics
– Technical robustness 5
DRAFT RESEARCH THEMES
• Enablers
– Big Data
• Handling 3V = Volume, Velocity, Variety (architecures, databases)
• Meaning from large datasets (deep analytics, visualization)
– Knowledge engineering
• Reasoning, perception, planning, learning, language processing, semantics
