AI is playing an increasing role in our world, but in practice it often remains a black box. You put something in and something comes out, without knowing how the algorithm works, with all the risks that entails.

Dr Meike Nauta, who obtained her PhD cum laude at UT on Explainable AI, thinks it is important that the user always remains at the wheel.

As an AI consultant at Datacation and assistant professor at TU Eindhoven, she makes a case for AI that is understandable, so that users understand how the computer reasons.

Premeditated AI, in other words! Meike Nauta is Engineer of the Year 2025 and winner of the Overijssel PhD Award.
