Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ubiquitous revolutionary technology of this century. AI has revolutionised humanity, including industry and government organisations, and transformed our world into smart digital spaces. As a discipline, one of the definitions of AI is the automation of cognition; or, put simply, the set of technologies required to support the design and implementation of artificial cognition in artificial systems. To design an intelligent system/machine, technologists need to transform the algorithms of AI into a system-of-systems design of cognition, whereby the artificial agent can sense, make sense, make decisions, take decisions, and learn about the contexts it is situated within. Modelling and Simulation (M&S) sit at the core of an artificial agent’s design and implementation components.

 

In this presentation, I will cover the use of M&S within AI from different angles . In doing so, I will bring elements from my research to showcase how M&S not only contributes to AI but also shows that without M&S, AI can’t operate. I will paint futures that range from very concrete and narrowly defined uses of AI to a world of human and artificial cognitive agents. Humans educate AI agents, and AI agents educate humans. I will then conclude with some challenges for the M&S community to support the effort in advancing AI. This presentation will be drawn from many of my published works; below are some critical references for interested readers.
