Cognitive Systems
3
What is a Cognitive System?
One that thinks and behaves like a human.
Gold Standard already exists: a Human
Cognitive Systems
4
What is a Cognitive System?
Systems that act on their own
to achieve goals
Perceive their Environment
Anticipate the need to act/think
Learn from Experience
Adapt to changing circumstances
Governed by ethical guidelines.
Cognitive Computing – AI
(From an IBM talk by K. Kokkikos)

Example
of
Cognitive System/Programming
“The fish last night was very good. I would have liked a bigger portion.”
“The quality of food is very important for me. I like to eat
organic food. I am not diabetic but I like to avoid sugary foods. I
prefer not to eat red meat except for special occasions. When
possible try to economize.”
Cognitive On-line Shopping Assistant
Cognitive Systems

How do we build Cognitive Systems?
Synthesis of Cognitive Psychology and AI
Cognitive Psychology
informs
AI
Read the EU document “AI for Europe”
Cognitive Systems
8
How do WE build Cognitive Systems?
Cognitive Argumentation
“Implements” the Synthesis of Cognitive Psychology
and AI within Computational Argumentation.
Cognitive Systems
9
What is the
main requirement
of
Cognitive Systems (AI systems more
generally)?
Ethical Operation/Behaviour
Read the paper on the Moral Machine
Cognitive Systems
Ethical Design
10
Adhere to
moral values
Ethical decisions are
context-sensitive
One way: By respecting of norms:
laws/regulations
Again
context sensitive
Unavoidable moral
dilemmas
Cognitive Systems
Explainable AI
11
Decisions/actions by AI systems need to
be explainable
Explainable AI -
XAI
Why?
So that they can be ethical!
Argumentation for Ethics -
Explainability
12
Decisions of Actions are normally
explained
by
appealing to the higher levels of moral values
and/or norms to
justify
the decision
Why did you not help the child?
To
protect myself
(self_respect)
Would be
unlawful
to hurt someone (obey norm)
Why did you hurt the person?
To
defend myself
(self_respect)
To
help the child in need
(respect for the weak)
Will come back to this
norm-violating
explanation
Argumentation for Ethics –
Explainability (2)
13
Decisions of Actions are normally explained by
appealing to the higher levels of moral values
and/or norms to justify the decision
Argumentation
has
explanation
as a
primary
object
:
Explanation
is the
argument
that
supports
the
action
Why did you hurt the person?
To
defend myself
(self_respect)
To
help the child in need
(respect for the weak)
Will come back
to this
norm-violating
explanation
Argumentation for Ethics –
Explainability (3)
14
Decisions of Actions are normally explained by
appealing to the higher levels of moral values
and/or norms to justify the decision
Furthermore,
argumentation
contains also
dialectic
information
of counter-arguments and defenses (along
with the initial supporting argument)
Hence it can provide
deeper explanations
if requested,
e.g. when decision is
contested
and an
ensuing debate
.
Example: Hurt because:
child was in
immediate
danger:
there was no time to get help from police
Argumentation for Ethics –
Explainability (3)
15
Decisions of Actions are normally explained by appealing
to the higher levels of moral values and/or norms to
justify the decision
Furthermore,
argumentation
contains also
dialectic
information
of
counter-arguments
and
defenses
(along with the initial
supporting argument
)
Example: Why Hurt?
“To help the child in need”
•
Norm-violating
explanation
Deeper Explanation via
Explication of
the
special
context
Argumentation for Ethics –
Explainability (4)
16
Argumentation
can provide
informed
explanations
and a
supporting dialogue
for users
to
analyze
and possibly
resolve
their
ethical
dilemmas
Cognitive Explanations
of
arg-based
decisions
Cognitive Experiments
to evaluate this overall
goal of arg-based ethics
How do the explanations affect users decision? Do they
change their mind/decision?
Do the explanations and dialogue help users in their ethical
decisions?
What does “help” mean here? Follow moral guidelines???
Explore the world of Cognitive Systems and Cognitive Programming for Human-Centric AI at the University of Cyprus. Delve into building systems that think and behave like humans, learn from experiences, and adapt to changing circumstances. Discover the ethical considerations of Cognitive Systems and their applications in AI. Learn the synthesis of Cognitive Psychology and AI to create ethical and efficient AI systems.
