Our new BOKU Human-Centered AI Lab Vienna Area in beautiful Tulln/Donau, Lower Austria, is taking shape and our mission to connect Lower Austria with Vienna starts: Our first visitors in Lower Austria were from Lower Austria. In our little workshop with colleagues from the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten we discussed cool topics of digitaltransformation for smart agriculture and forestry, especially some challenges and future aspects of artificial intelligence/machine learning for solving problems in smart forestry, e.g. road trafficability with the help of cyber-physical systems and sensors, or the grand challenge and hot topic of “embodied intelligence”, e.g.: “move to timber – grab the timber – move back to truck” which is easy for humans, but practically impossible for current artificial intelligence – and one solution is in making use of the human-in-the-loop, see our very recent position paper: Andreas Holzinger, Karl Stampfer, Arne Nothduft, Christoph Gollob and Peter Kieseberg (2022): Challenges in Artificial Intelligence for Smart Forestrs (tba.)
