Danza y Co-creatividad kinestésica Humano-IA
No full textHuman-machine interaction in dance is not a new phenomenon, however, the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years allows new scenarios where novel methods of creative collaboration between human and artificial intelligence are proposed. From an interdisciplinary approach, this article provides an analysis of different software for choreographic creation and synthesises the findings from the creative collaboration between the author and an AI dancer, which were presented at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge (UK). The author concludes that in order to co-create dance with an AI, it is not enough to simply use it, but it must enable an experience in which the human and machine can be exposed to a mutual influence that is not limited to logical reasoning, but is based on kinaesthetic intuition.La interacción humano-maquina en la danza no es un fenómeno nuevo, sin embargo, la evolución de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en los últimos años permite nuevos escenarios donde se plantean novedosos métodos de colaboración creativa entre la inteligencia humana y la artificial. Desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, este artículo provee un análisis de distintos softwares para la creación coreográfica y sintetiza los hallazgos provenientes de la colaboración creativa entre el autor y un bailarín de IA, los cuales fueron presentados en el Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence en la Universidad de Cambridge (Reino Unido). El autor concluye que para co-crear danza con una IA no basta con utilizarla, sino que es fundamental propiciar una experiencia donde el humano y la maquina puedan exponerse a una influencia mutua que no se limite al razonamiento lógico, sino que se base en la intuición kinestésica

Application of the IS-MP-IA model to the German economy and policy implications
No full textExtending the IS-MP-IA model developed by Romer (2000) and applying the GARCH (Engle, 1982, 2001) methodology, the author finds that equilibrium GDP in Germany is positively affected by stock market performance and real exchange rate appreciation, and negatively influenced by the expected inflation rate, the government deficit/GDP ratio, and the U.S. federal funds rate. The relatively low deficit/GDP ratio of 1.83% in 2003 indicates that its fiscal condition was healthy. However, some other EU members may need to exercise fiscal discipline. Because real appreciation has a positive impact on output, a stronger euro may not be a concern for Germany but may be worried by those EU member nations which depend upon exports to stimulate their economies.
IA Generativa pode ser coautora?
No full textIn this essay, we argue that Generative Artificial Intelligence can be considered a co-author when it significantly contributes to the creative process of producing a work. We present the concept of human-AI hybrid authorship, which involves revising the concepts of work, author, and (co)authorship, moving beyond an anthropocentric perspective. To support this notion, we analyze legal, ethical, artistic, and historical aspects. We conclude that Generative AI can be recognized as a co-author from a pragmatic standpoint. The notion of hybrid authorship is then used to analyze reality, discussing emblematic cases of co-creation with generative technologies.En este ensayo, argumentamos que la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa puede ser considerada coautora cuando contribuye significativamente al proceso creativo de producción de una obra. Presentamos el concepto de autoría híbrida humano-IA, que implica revisar los conceptos de obra, autor y (co)autoría, superando una perspectiva antropocéntrica. Para fundamentar esta noción, analizamos aspectos legales, éticos, artísticos e históricos. Concluimos que la IA Generativa puede ser reconocida como coautora desde un punto de vista pragmático. La noción de autoría híbrida se moviliza entonces para analizar la realidad, discutiendo casos emblemáticos de cocreación con tecnologías generativas.No presente artigo ensaístico, defende-se que a Inteligência Artificial Generativa pode ser considerada coautora quando contribui significativamente para o processo criativo de produção de uma obra.

Grip force preparation for collisions
No full textGrip force has been studied widely in a variety of interaction and movement tasks, however, not much is known about the timing of the grip force control in preparation for interaction with objects. For example, it is unknown whether and how the temporal preparation for a collision is related to (the prediction of) the impact load. To study this question, we examined the anticipative timing of the grip force in preparation for impact loads. We designed a collision task with different types of load forces in a controlled virtual environment. Participants interacted with a robotic device (KINARM, BKIN Technologies, Kingston) whose handles were equipped with force sensors which the participants held in precision grip. Representations of the hand and objects were visually projected on a virtual reality display and forces were applied onto the participant’s hand to simulate a collision with the virtual objects. The collisions were alternating between the two hands to allow transfer and learning between the hands. The results show that there is immediate transfer of object information between the two hands, since the grip force levels are (almost) fully adjusted after one collision with the opposite hand. The results also show that the grip force levels are nicely adjusted based on the mass and stiffness of the object. Surprisingly, the temporal onset of the grip force build up did not depend on the impact load, so that participants avoid slippage by adjusting the other grip force characteristics (e.g., grip force level and rate of change), therefore considering these self-imposed timing constraints. With the use of catch trials, for which no impact occurred, we further analyzed the temporal profile of the grip force. The catch trial data showed that the timing of the grip force peak is also independent of the impact load and its timing, which suggests a time-locked planning of the complete grip force profile
Errors in visuo-haptic and haptic-haptic location matching are stable over long periods of time
No full textPeople make systematic errors when they move their unseen dominant hand to a visual target (visuo-haptic matching) or to their other unseen hand (haptic-haptic matching). Why they make such errors is still unknown. A key question in determining the reason is to what extent individual participants' errors are stable over time. To examine this, we developed a method to quantify the consistency. With this method, we studied the stability of systematic matching errors across time intervals of at least a month. Within this time period, individual subjects' matches were as consistent as one could expect on the basis of the variability in the individual participants' performance within each session. Thus individual participants make quite different systematic errors, but in similar circumstances they make the same errors across long periods of time
Quelle éthique pour quelle IA ?
No full textInternational audienceThis study proposes an analysis of the different types of ethical approaches involved in the ethics of AI, and situates their interests and limits. First, the author introduces to the contemporary need for and meaning of ethics. He distinguishes it from other registers of normativities and underlines its inadequacy to formalization. He then presents a cartography of the landscape of ethical theories covered by moral philosophy, taking care to distinguish meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. In drawing up this overview, the author questions the relationship between ethics and artificial intelligence. The analysis focuses in particular on the main ethical currents that have imposed themselves in the ways of doing digital ethics and AI in our Western democracies. The author asks whether these practices of ethics, as they seem to crystallize today in a precise pattern, constitute a sufficient and sufficiently satisfactory response to our needs for ethics in AI. The study concludes with a reflection on the reasons why a human ethics of AI based on a pragmatic practice of contextual ethics remains necessary and irreducible to any formalization or automated treatment of the ethical questions that arise for humans.Cette étude propose une analyse des formes d'éthiques impliquées en éthique de l'IA, et en situe les intérêts et les limites. Dans un premier temps, l'auteur introduit au besoin contemporain et au sens de l'éthique. Il la distingue d'autres registres de normativités et en souligne le caractère impropre à la formalisation. Il présente ensuite une cartographie du paysage des théories éthiques que recouvre la philosophie morale, en prenant soin de distinguer la méta-éthique, l'éthique normative et l'éthique appliquée. En dressant ce panorama, l'auteur interroge les relations entre l'éthique et l'intelligence artificielle. L'analyse porte en particulier sur les grands courants de l'éthique qui se sont imposés dans les façons de faire de l'éthique du numérique et de l'IA dans nos démocraties occidentales. L'auteur se demande si ces pratiques, telles qu'elles semblent aujourd'hui cristallisées en une configuration précise, constituent une réponse suffisante et suffisamment satisfaisante à nos besoins d'éthique en matière d'IA. L'étude s'achève par une réflexion sur les raisons pour lesquelles une éthique humaine de l'IA, fondée dans une pratique pragmatiste de l'éthique en situation, reste nécessaire et irréductible à toute entreprise de formalisation ou de traitement automatisé des questions éthiques qui se posent aux humains
