DESCRIPTION:Explanation\, Semantics and Ontology in the Design of Trustwort
 hy Cyber-Human Systems\n\nBy Giancarlo Guizzardi\n\nUniversity of Twente\n
 \nDate: January 8\, 2025\n	Time: 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM\n\nRegister & watch th
 e webinar\n\nView poster\n\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nCyber-human systems are for
 med by the coordinated interaction of human and computational components. 
 The latter are justified to the extent that they are meaningful to humans 
 – in both senses of ‘meaning’\, i.e.\, in the sense of semantics as well a
 s in the sense of purpose or significance. On one hand\, the data these co
 mponents manipulate only acquire meaning when mapped to shared human conce
 ptualizations of the world. On the other hand\, they can only be justified
  if ethically designed. Cyber-human systems are trustworthy if the interop
 eration of their components is meaning preserving\, i.e.\, if we are able 
 to semantically interoperate these components\; and transparently demonstr
 ate (i.e.\, explain) how their interoperation positively contributes to hu
 man values and goals. In this talk\, I will present a notion of explanatio
 n termed Ontological Unpacking\, which aims at explaining symbolic domain 
 descriptions (conceptual models\, knowledge graphs\, logical specification
 s). I show that it is this explanatory nature that is required for semanti
 c interoperability and\, hence\, trustworthiness. Finally\, I will argue t
 hat the current trend in XAI (Explainable AI) in which “to explain is to p
 roduce a symbolic artifact” is an incomplete project as these artifacts ar
 e not “inherently interpretable”\, and that they should be taken as the be
 ginning of the road to explanation\, not the end.\n
