For who? Everyone interested in data, society, technology

Let’s allow computers listen and read all of our words, and use machine learning to lessen hate and fear. Peace Machine is a creation and legacy of professor Timo Honkela, a powerful concept of using AI in peace building.

How machine learning technologies and personal “My AI” can help in the societal transformation from THEY (institutions acting on our behalf) to ME (individual perspective) to US (collective action of autonomous people)? What if we allowed a computer to listen to everything we say and read everything we write, and then to analyse the material in order to help us to better communicate with others. This may sound frightening, but according to Timo Honkela, Professor of Research into Digital Information at the University of Helsinki, it could offer a chance for an unprecedented level of understanding – and even world peace. Honkela will share the powerful vision “Peace Machine” and explore the connections to the personal data.
