Socially Responsible AI Algorithms: Issues, Purposes, and Challenges
In the current era, people and society have grown increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI has the potential to drive us towards a future in which all of humanity flourishes. It also comes with substantial risks for oppression and calamity. Discussions about whether we should (re)trust AI have repeatedly emerged in recent years and in many quarters, including industry, academia, healthcare, services, and so on. Technologists and AI researchers have a responsibility to develop trustworthy AI systems. They have responded with great effort to design more responsible AI algorithms. However, existing technical solutions are narrow in scope and have been primarily directed towards algorithms for scoring or classification tasks, with an emphasis on fairness and unwanted bias. To build long-lasting trust between AI and human beings, we argue that the key is to think beyond algorithmic fairness and connect major aspects of AI that potentially cause AI’s indifferent behavior. In this survey, we provide a systematic framework of Socially Responsible AI Algorithms that aims to examine the subjects of AI indifference and the need for socially responsible AI algorithms, define the objectives, and introduce the means by which we may achieve these objectives. We further discuss how to leverage this framework to improve societal well-being through protection, information, and prevention/mitigation. This article appears in the special track on AI & Society.

Superintelligence Cannot be Contained: Lessons from Computability Theory
Superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. In light of recent advances in machine intelligence, a number of scientists, philosophers and technologists have revived the discussion about the potentially catastrophic risks entailed by such an entity. In this article, we trace the origins and development of the neo-fear of superintelligence, and some of the major proposals for its containment. We argue that total containment is, in principle, impossible, due to fundamental limits inherent to computing itself. Assuming that a superintelligence will contain a program that includes all the programs that can be executed by a universal Turing machine on input potentially as complex as the state of the world, strict containment requires simulations of such a program, something theoretically (and practically) impossible. This article is part of the special track on AI and Society.

Selected papers of the Joint 19th International Heat Pipe Conference and 13th International Heat Pipe Symposium
The Joint 19th IHPC (International Heat Pipe Conference) and the 13th IHPS (International Heat Pipe Symposium) was held at the University of Pisa, June 10th-14th, 2018. The joint conference focuses on topics related to heat pipes, thermosyphons and other two-phase thermal devices. The conference is the most important and attended scientific and networking event in the field of two-phase heat transfer devices worldwide. The 1st International Heat Pipe Symposium was held at Tokyo, Japan, in 1985, and it has been held in staggered years from the IHPC until 2016, when the first joint event has been organized in Jeju Island, South Korea. The conference held at Pisa, has been the second joint event of this important conference and welcomed a large number of scientists and technologists from all over the world.

COVID-19 patients and the radiology department – advice from the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI)
This document from the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) aims to present the main imaging features, and the role of CT scan in the early diagnosis of COVID-19, describing, in particular, the typical findings which make it possible to identify the disease and distinguish it from bacterial causes of infection, and to define which category of patients may benefit from CT imaging. The precautions that must be taken when performing scans to protect radiologists and technologists from infection will be described. The organisational measures that can be taken within radiology departments in order to cope with the influx of patients, while continuing to manage other emergency and time-sensitive activity (e.g. oncology, other infectious diseases etc.), will be discussed.Key points• Bilateral ground glass opacities are typical CT manifestations of COVID-19.• Crazy paving and organising pneumonia pattern are seen at a later stage.• Extensive consolidation is associated with a poor prognosis.
