Municipality, VU and UvA open lab for social AI

The Civic AI Lab (CAIL) is a collaboration between the City of Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The Mayor and Executive Board of the City of Amsterdam have approved a subsidy of ¤400,000 for the coming four years, while the VU will contribute ¤900,000 and the UvA ¤1.5 million. Within the lab, five researchers will work towards obtaining their PhD while studying the application of artificial intelligence in the fields of education, welfare, the environment, mobility and health. The lab will form part of the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) at Amsterdam Science Park. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the collective term for applications in which technology makes use of algorithms to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. AI is playing an increasingly important role in our society. For example, businesses use AI to improve their production processes, to select job applicants and to analyse health data.
