Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new buzzword, and we are constantly hearing or reading about Artificial Intelligence in the news, like the development of self-driving cars or driverless cars. Anyone interacting with a chatbot on any website is an AI tool. But did you ever wonder how exactly artificial intelligence in talent acquisition is used now-a-days? Before deep-diving into how AI plays a major role in the recruitment industry, let's learn about talent acquisition. Gartner defines Talent Acquisition is the process of identifying organizational staffing needs, recruiting qualified candidates, and selecting the candidates best suited for the available positions. The stakeholders include recruiters, HR managers, hiring managers, and top-level executives. The team's goal is to identify, acquire, assess, and hire candidates to fill open positions within the organization. For the majority of organizations, the talent acquisition team will be part of the HR team. In a few larger organizations, talent acquisition is a different team that collaborates with the HR team.

Sebastian Flennerhag, Yannick Schroecker, Tom Zahavy, Hado van Hasselt, David Silver, and Satinder Singh won an ICLR 2022 outstanding paper award for their work Bootstrapped meta-learning. We spoke to Sebastian about how the team approached the problem of meta-learning, how their algorithm performs, and plans for future work. Meta-learning, generally, is the problem of learning to learn. So what is meant by that is that when you specify a machine learning problem, you need some algorithm that does that learning. However, it's not clear which algorithm is actually the most efficient one for the specific problem that you have in mind.

The winners of four IJCAI awards have been announced. These four distinctions are: the Award for Research Excellence, the Computers and Thought Award, the John McCarthy Award and the Donald E. Walker Distinguished Service Award. The Research Excellence award is given to a scientist who has carried out a program of research of consistently high quality throughout an entire career yielding several substantial results. The winner of the 2022 Award for Research Excellence is Stuart Russell (University of California, Berkeley). Stuart is recognized for his fundamental contributions to the development of Bayesian logic to unify logic and probability, the theory of bounded rationality and optimization, and learning and inference strategies for operations in uncertain environments.

For the 7th edition of the Prize, a group of academic experts from IÉSEG (composed of 3 professors from IÉSEG: Guillaume Mercier, Caroline Rieu-Plichon and Yulia Titova) evaluated 26 theses in order to select the 3 best ones in terms of academic criteria. The winner of the ICOR Award was then chosen among these three finalists by a jury of professionals, made up this year of Valérie Ader-Plaziat, Senior Advisor in charge of CSR policy at Colombus Consulting, Augustin Boulot, Managing Director of B Lab France and Charles Pick, CSR Director of Clinitex. Presented by Caroline Roussel, Deputy Director of the School, on the occasion of IÉSEG's CSR Day, the ICOR 2022 Award was awarded this year to Julia Guillemot (2021 graduate of the Grande École Program) for her thesis: "The integration of ethical concerns in the development and deployment of artificially intelligent systems within technological companies. Each year, the winner of the ICOR Award receives €2,000 and commits to donate half of his or her prize money to a non-profit organization or social enterprise of his or her choice. This year, Julia Guillemot has chosen to support the Global Schools Program, an initiative of the United Nations. This initiative aims to equip primary and secondary school teachers around the world with content and tools that can be adapted in any country to teach sustainable development to pupils from kindergarten to high school. The ICOR Award ceremony was preceded by a conference organized by ICOR on the theme "New forms of enterprise at the service of society and the environment: idealism or sustainable models?

"Artificial intelligence is around us, and it will change medicine, including ophthalmology. Come and learn about recent developments in different subfields of ophthalmology, based on AI technology!" Andrzej Grzybowski, Professor of Ophthalmology and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Warmia and Mazury, Olsztyn, Poland, and Head of the Institute for Research in Ophthalmology, Foundation for Ophthalmology Development, Poznań, Poland, talks about the inspiration behind the virtual event, the impressive speaker list, and his own work in the field. When did you first decide to organize this online event; what was the inspiration behind it? I have thought about it for some time. However, the final argument for going ahead with the event was to receive the support from the Polish Ministry of Science and Education.

Pogrebna is a pioneer in behavioural data science – a field that combines behavioural science and data science techniques to better understand, model and predict the behaviour of humans, algorithms and complex systems in the face of risk and uncertainty. "I warmly welcome Professor Pogrebna to the University and look forward to working with her to establish the Cybersecurity and Data Science Institute," Charles Sturt pro vice-chancellor (Research and Innovation) Professor Mark Evans said. "Professor Pogrebna comes to the University with a wealth of experience. This includes being the Lead of the Behavioural Data Science strand at The Alan Turing Institute – the national centre for AI and data science in London where she is also a Fellow working on hybrid modelling approaches between behavioural science and data science (e.g. According to Evans, Pogrebna helps leaders in businesses, charities and the public sector better understand why they make the decisions they make and how they can optimise their behaviour to achieve higher profit, better social and commercial outcomes, and bolster the wellbeing of their teams. Pogrebna said her goal as executive director of the Cybersecurity and Data Science Institute is to avoid'building a silo'. "I have spent several weeks visiting our researchers across the University's campuses and became aware of the incredible work they are doing," she said. "The new Institute will aim to support our local talent and build on it, seeing how we can develop new research collaborations in Australia as well as internationally.

Babies born outside of the womb. The future of humanity could be virtually unrecognisable by the end of the 21st century, according to Elise Bohan – and that's if we get the transition right. If we get it wrong, well. In ten years time it's all going to look pretty different, and in another ten years that's a total event horizon for me … I think it's eminently plausible at that point that the game has changed in some very fundamental way, whether for good or bad." Bohan, 31, is speaking from a sunny Mosman apartment, where she is house-sitting and looking after the plants. It's a distance away from the Hawkesbury river on the outskirts of Sydney where she grew up; a place with pretty spots but where it was tough to be a smart kid. And it is a half world away from Oxford University where she forms part of the Future of Humanity Institute. "I believe that," she says. "We are in the century that defines the future of humanity like no other." Transhumanism is a movement that aims to address – or end – what Bohan calls the "tragedies of reality": ageing, sickness and involuntary death. It is, she writes, "a philosophy and a project that aims to make us more than human". Whether we recognise or understand it, that project has already begun, she says, and it will transform our world – and minds and bodies – within our lifetimes. Not only is it happening, she says, but this transition is necessary if humanity is to survive in perpetuity. For Bohan, it is no great to leap to imagine that a baby born in 2030 may have its entire genome mapped at birth, that data uploaded to a central health record and cross-referenced at any medical appointment throughout its life. It is no great stretch to think that AI will become the most powerful intellectual force of the century. That human consciousness might be transferred from our "meat sacks" (bodies) into a technological sphere. That the rise of AI and automation might render great swathes of human labour redundant, and that maybe – if we get it right – that could leave more time for leisure, big thinking, meditation, connection. Experiments are already underway in the realm of artificial wombs, and Bohan is sure – when viable – women will be "clamouring" to be freed from the shackles of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. The book, she writes, is a "love letter to humanity", but hers is a "tough love". A love which sees a future for humanity, but not necessarily for human beings as we know it. When Bohan first encountered transhumanism, at around the age of 21, her first reaction was, "It's crazy.
