Abstract: Until recently, exact (universal) language has been driven by Plato's cherished of natural law, essentially a logical process of reason. Now new Platonians are creating a new universal narrative of “Dataism". This narrative is evisioned to provide unprecedented insights into human behaviour. Guided by this narrative, the new frontiers artificial intelligence and machine learning are envisioned to empower the “network effect” to create the digital marketplace of ideas, knowledge, innovations, skills, products, and services. Whilst algorithms distill data sets to provide machine-curated data services, helping medical researchers discover novel disease therapies, these are also flagged to provide suspect financial transactions. Whilst policy makers ponder on the role and impact of the new digital “platform”, and social networks envision unlocking the digital revolution for social good, the competitive market see big data as 'digital gold', focusing on technology competition. We get a deep sense that we are being caught up in a paradox of Faustian exchange. New technologies, on the one hand, offer great potential and possibilities in many realms of human society. One the other hand, when seen through the instrumental lens, this very technology leads to perceiving and thinking in singularities. On singularity and the dream team of exact language, Toulmin reminds us that within the limit of the Turing's discrete state universal machine, it may be technically possible to build a robot in the image of the human, but an agenda of the human imitating the robot should be seen just as a dream of the exact language and a dangerous one. On instrumental reasoning, we should, however, be mindful of Weizenbaum's warning that the enormous computational capability of the AI machine is no more relevant to the validity of the outcome or judgement derived from the computed results, than that derived from the original source of data. The talk reflects on whether the instrumental thinking of computability would continue its march of making a lasting shift from judgment to calculation. Or do we still have the vision to mould new technologies in a way that facilitates a recalibration of the judgement-calculation-judgement spiral. In moving towards this recalibration, the talk explores the creative contributions of the musical, social and cultural praxis of performing knowledge and performing judgement, in transcending the limit of the Platonians thesis of the exact language. About the Speaker: Karamjit S. Gill is Professor Emeritus, University of Brighton (UK), Founding Editor of AI&Society journal (Springer), Visiting professor at universities of Wales (UK), Urbino (Italy), Waterford Institute of Technology (Ireland), Beijing Academy of Soft Technology, and Symbiotic Network- Delhi University and NISTADS (Delhi), Concordia University and UCLA. Karamjit obtained his MSc. in Applied Mathematics and MSc. In Computer Science from University of London, and DPhil in Applied Sciences from University of Sussex. Over the years he has directed cross- cultural research networks, including EU-India cross-cultural innovation network (EU); Europe-Japan network on human-centred systems; European postgraduate and doctoral research network in human centred systems (EU), Knowledge, culture and artificial intelligence network (EU);) New Technology and Adult Literacy (EC, 1983-85); Computer Aided Animated Arts Theatre (CAAAT) Project (1981-86); and the Europe-Japan human centred systems (NTT Data, Japan- 1990s); Culture, Language and Artificial Intelligence (COST- EC/Sweden). He has been the founding Series Editor of the Human Centred Systems Society Book Series, published by Springer, leading to the publication of 400 journal articles and 25 books. The two publications, AIS journal and the HCS book series, have played a key role in establishing the human centred system field as a mainstream area of postgraduate education and applied research. He has published over 70 academic papers and reports. He is also actively involved in the Community-University Partnership Programme (CUPP) of University of Brighton, steering community projects on social mentoring; Community networking and network analysis; Art, music and craft therapeutic environment and co-production. Karamjit’s research interests include ICTs supported social mentoring, learning and knowledge sharing; Cross-cultural innovation; Symbiotics and social enterprise; Human-centred systems; Soft technology; Knowledge networking and sustainable development; Arts, science and society. His current activities include the setting up a creative well being social enterprise in Cambridge (UK), Cambridge Creative Synergy, for people living with mental health and Asperger a syndrome. At Cambridge, he is involved with the DNA digest network, Cambridge Community Arts, and The Interdisciplinary Performance Research Network, Cambridge University. At the European level, he is collaborating with PROMISE.eu, a European enterprise in Compliance.
