- The first article 'What is Artificial Intelligence?' explains what AI is, how it originated, how it works and the different types of AI. At the bottom of the article you will find the video 'Introduction to Artificial Intelligence'. It explains in 20 minutes what AI is, how it originated and its various applications. It also explains the difference between Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Data Science. Finally, Machine Learning is discussed in more detail.
- The article 'The implications of AI' explains what AI is, what it can do, how it is built and its history. The article also discusses the importance of AI and how it is changing our productivity and jobs.
- The article ‘Artificial Intellifence, taking inspiration from nature’ takes a closer look at how the development of AI is based on natural systems. The functioning of the brain, the mutation of genes and the cooperation between ants are examples of such natural processes that be found in the functioning of AI. The clear connection between nature and AI makes the digital world less abstract en therefore easier to understand.
- The Responsible AI Lab is a research lab of the Expertise Centre of Applied AI (HvA). Their article 'Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Practice' explains why AI is not neutral and how to be responsible with AI.
- In the livecast 'Applying Responsible AI in practice' the Centre of Expertise Applied AI (HvA) presents a dialogue on how we can design meaningful and usable AI applications. The lab focuses on the importance of inclusivity and diversity during the design proces of AI.
- The Civic AI Lab is a research lab working on the design, development and implementation of social and responsible AI. During the opening of the Civic AI Lab, Ruha Benjaming spoke, professor of African American studies at the Princeton University.
