AI research

There are several initiatives currently running at the UvA in the field of AI [link], both in the development of artificial intelligence itself and in humanities and social science research into AI. In the context of this, a recent opinion piece in Het Parool discusses not only the Dreamslab collaboration between the UvA, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and Huawei Finland, but also the UvA's Research Priority Area 'Human(e) AI'. It is important to emphasise that the researchers at Human(e) AI have no affiliation with the Huawei Finland-funded lab. They do not work with Huawei, do not receive any money from them, and were in no way involved in the creation or implementation of that cooperation. The RPA Human(e) AI stimulates and combines research into the legal, ethical and social consequences of AI, looking at how can we encourage the development of AI that is consistent with cultural and socio-economic equality and fundamental civil rights. The collaboration between the VU, the UvA and Huawei Finland focuses on search technology in European languages. As with all UvA research, it is scientifically valuable and is fully and openly shared in accordance with the standards of the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Academic Integrity.
