Scope and content

This is an interview with Dr. Veronica Dahl, an Argentine Canadian computer-scientist who has been recognized as one of the 15 founders of the field of logic programming. The only woman to receive this title, Dr. Dahl achieved this milestone in 1997, after 20 years of foundational research following her doctorate, when she developed the first logic programming database system alongside a front end to consult it in human language. Dr. Dahl is also an emeritus Professor at Simon Fraser University, and her current research focuses on solidarity as opposed to domination-promoting uses of Artificial Intelligence and explores how AI might be used to combat growing ecological and social crises. In fact, Dahl’s work has been used to help monitor current ecological crises such as sudden Oak tree death in California, and biodiversity in Hawaiian coral reefs. The interviewer is Meghan Tibbits-Lamirande.

Voici un entretien avec Veronica Dahl, informaticienne argentino-canadienne reconnue comme l'une des 15 fondatrices du domaine de la programmation logique. Seule femme à recevoir ce titre, Mme Dahl a franchi cette étape lors de ses recherches pour son doctorat, lorsqu'elle a mis au point le premier système de base de données de programmation logique ainsi qu'une interface permettant de le consulter en langage humain. Mme Dahl est également professeur émérite à l'université Simon Fraser. Ses recherches actuelles portent sur l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle à des fins de solidarité plutôt que de domination et explorent la manière dont l'intelligence artificielle pourrait être utilisée pour lutter contre les crises écologiques et sociales croissantes. En fait, les travaux de Mme Dahl ont été utilisés pour aider à surveiller les crises écologiques actuelles telles que la mort subite du chêne en Californie et la biodiversité dans les récifs coralliens d'Hawaï. L'interviewer est Meghan Tibbits-Lamirande.
