Artificial Intelligence in Wearable Sensing: Challenges and Opportunities

Current progress in artificial intelligence (AI) paves the way towards intelligent systems that enable automation with unprecedent precision in tasks such as computer vision and action planning. Adapting these models in critical applications both in industry and healthcare is still under debate due to the lack of model transparency and methods to reliably quantify how much we can trust them in unforeseen circumstances. There is also a risk that with increased automation, humans become just observers and they are not actively engaged in the loop. This causes a loss of awareness, a lack of ability to comprehend the complexity of the system and to be empowered to rapidly controlled it. In this talk, Deligianni will highlight current challenges and opportunities in human-machine collaborative frameworks and present paradigms on how AI technology along with wearable/ambient sensing can improve decision making processes.
