Abstract:

From its inception, the Web has always been more than a distributed hypertext. Its hypermedia architecture is in fact linking programs world-wide through remote procedure calls. Moreover, the Web managed to become at the same time the largest social application on earth and the default and most adopted architecture and framework for internet applications. It is now a space where more than three billion users interact with billions of pages and numerous software. As a result, the Web is now in a position to be the universal collaborative space for natural and artificial intelligence distributed and situated everywhere. In this talk, I will mention a number of works from the research team Wimmics (pronounced “we mix”) that has been studying the challenges in bridging social semantics and formal semantics on the Web. These contributions address some of the challenges in connecting AIs to the Web. https://team.inria.fr/wimmics/
