The presentations will be in Dutch. You can register now.

Content

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, it is crucial to understand the importance of building AI systems that are safe and accountable. These systems must function properly and reliably without harming individuals, societies and the environment. At the same time, ethical, social and legal considerations must be taken into account. This requires a comprehensive approach encompassing the design, development, implementation and use of AI systems. To achieve this, relevant principles and mechanisms need to be integrated throughout the life cycle of AI systems. This promotes collaboration between the various stakeholders involved in building these systems or affected by their activities. By adopting a safe and responsible approach to AI, we can achieve reliable AI systems that serve the collective interest of humanity and promote well-being.

About the speakers

Prof Natasha Alechina is professor of Safe and Responsible AI in the Department of Computer Science. Her research focuses on verification of AI systems and developing correct-by-construction AI systems. The techniques she develops have been applied to ensure the correct operation of cyber-physical systems, such as in manufacturing processes and in robot-assisted surgery.

Dr Clara Maathuis is associate professor in the Department of Computer Science She is involved in courses such as Machine Learning and Responsible AI. At the same time, she conducts research on building responsible and trustworthy AI systems in domains such as defence, cyber security, and social media.
