2. Objectives

The key fields brought together at this meeting are artificial intelligence and cognitive science. This meeting helped forge better understanding and interactions in a joint area which we refer to as cognitive artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming centrally relevant to a variety of sciences in supporting the construction of complex models from data. Furthermore, within society at large artificial intelligence is viewed as having both immense potential for enabling human societies, while simultaneously presenting dangers for weakening the social fabric. It is clear that advances in understanding of how to build automated learning systems which are compatible with human understanding, planning and reasoning has immense potential for beneficial effects in many areas. However, interactions of cognitive scientists with leading edge artificial intelligence research requires …
