In this special 25th episode of Untangling the Web, we talk with one of the founders of web science, Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt. He's Principal of Jesus college and professorial Research Fellow in Computer Science at the University of Oxford. As information adviser to the United Kingdom government, he encouraged the release of many 1000s of public sector data sets. He was knighted in 2013 for services to science and engineering. During this episode, Nigel recounts some of those founding conversations and intentions surrounding the creation of the web science field, as well as some of his more recent work. Nigel, who was on the forefront of the Semantic Web, also explains exactly what that means -- and what the web might look like today if it had expanded. To hear to this and more, listen to this episode. Click here for this episode's transcript and here for this episode's show notes.

Sir Nigel Shadbolt, chairman of the Open Data Institute which he co-founded with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, talks about the ethics of AI. 

The name "Nigel Shadbolt" is spoken in my corner of the world with hushed tones and much reverence. This is not only because he is a big deal generally, but because he is an especially around Jesus College, Oxford, where he currently serves as Principal. What exactly one does as Principal of an Oxford college, I'm not entirely sure, but like all of Sir Nigel's accolades, it seems pretty significant. Nigel has made contributions in a wide range of fields, including artificial intelligence and public policy. His work was key in developing the technology for the World Wide Web, alongside his long-time collaborator Tim Berners-Lee. Together they founded the Open Data Institute. Trust me on this one, Sir Nigel's list of accomplishments is long. I look forward to sharing this conversation with you. More info: codykommers.com/podcast

Sir Nigel Shadbolt is chairman of the Open Data Institute which he co-founded with Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He is also one of the originators of the interdisciplinary field of web science; is the Principal of Jesus College Oxford; a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford; and a visiting Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Southampton. Today Sir Nigel tells us the backstory on how the Open Data Institute was created thanks in no small part to an impromptu lunch between Sir Tim Berners-Lee and then U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

AI Expert Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt will be asking whether the open data movement has succeeded and what the next steps should be to secure its foundation for our economies and societies We have seen many achievements in open data, by governments and NGOs, large corporates and startups, collectives and individuals. This talk will reflect on and review some of these achievements and look to the future, asking questions like ‘How does open data relate to data that is closed or shared?’ and ‘Does open data help us empower individuals?’ About the speaker Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt is Chairman and Co-Founder of the Open Data Institute. He is also Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Head of the Web and Internet Science Group, Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton. With over 400 publications he has researched on topics ranging from cognitive psychology to computational neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence to the Semantic Web. He was one of the originators of the interdisciplinary field of Web Science and is a Director of the Web Science Trust which seeks to advance our understanding of the Web and promote the Web’s positive impact on society. In 2009 the Prime Minister appointed him and Sir Tim Berners-Lee as Information Advisors to transform access to Public Sector Information. This work led to the highly acclaimed data.gov.uk site that now provides a portal to over 9,000 datasets. In May 2010 he was asked by the UK Coalition Government to join the Public Sector Transparency Board – this oversees Open Data releases across the public sector. In April 2011 he became Chair of the UK Government’s midata programme – whose goal is to empower consumers by releasing their data back to them. In the November 2011 Autumn statement he was awarded £10M funding via the Technology Strategy Board to set up the Open Data Institute with Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

Nigel Shadbolt, co-founder of the Open Data Institute, talks to John Thornhill about the imbalance between the personal and private control of data and the need to re-empower the consumer. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Southampton University, believes in the power of open data. With Sir Tim Berners-Lee he persuaded two UK Prime Ministers of the importance of letting us all get our hands on information that's been collected about us by the government and other organisations. But, this has brought him into conflict with people who think there's money to be made from this data. And open data raises issues of privacy. Nigel Shadbolt talks to Jim al-Khalili about how a degree in psychology and philosophy lead to a career researching artificial intelligence and a passion for open data.

Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, University of Southampton, delivered his distinguished lecture entitled "The Fifth Paradigm: From Open Data to Social Machines" This lecture is supported jointly by The University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics and the Farr Institute for Health Informatics. www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/informatics/news-events/lectures/nigelshadbolt Recorded on Tuesday 10 September 2013 at the University's Informatics Forum.

Photo: unknown.On July 11th, 2007, I gave an invited lecture as part of a Royal Academy of Engineering seminar entitled: "AI and IT: Where Philosophy and Engineering Meet", itself a part of their Philosophy of Engineering series. I elaborated on ideas that I have only hinted at before in print, most notably at the end of the paper "Embodied Artificial Intelligence" (can't provide a link to it here or it will screw up my feed - ugh).Abstract: Although an understanding of the importance of engineering for philosophy can be traced back at least as far as Giambattista Vico's slogan "Verum Ipsum Factum" ("what is made is what is true"), the landmark elaboration of this understanding in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) is Aaron Sloman's The Computer Revolution in Philosophy. Using the key findings of that work as a foundation, I will argue that in the field of AI, the mutual benefits of philosophy and engineering extend well beyond the general salutary interdependence of theory and practice. Interactive empiricism will be introduced as the claim that key breakthroughs in both building and philosophically understanding consciousness will result from the theorist/philosopher being an integrated causal component of the system being designed. Recent work in AI will be used to support this claim.As it happens, I didn't mention Sloman's work in the talk at all, and barely mentioned Vico.Media:PodSlides: iPod-ready video (.mp4; 26.7 MB; 34 min 04 sec)Audio (.mp3; 8.1 MB; 34 min 03 sec)PowerPoint file (.ppt; 2.0 MB)Flyer describing the seminar (.pdf; 136 kB)
