invited talk on “Trust and the Smart City: a view from Project GenZAI (Moonshot R&D project)” @ RO-MAN 2021

I’m honored to give an invited talk on “Trust and the Smart City: a view from Project GenZAI (Moonshot R&D project)” @ RO-MAN 2021

The topic of the Ro-man conference this year was: trustworthiness and cooperation.

The workshop aims to show a smart city could be organized to enable trust and cooperation among humans, robots and AI agents.   It was a stimulating workshop & I learned a lot about blockchain and decentralization etc.

Special thanks to Fabio P. Bonsignorio for his kind invitation!
