Research Group Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence research group researches applications of AI and data-driven innovation. AI technology is developing rapidly and has an impact on many companies and governments. It is of social importance to steer this development in the right direction and to explore and, where necessary, record the limits of AI. People-oriented values such as transparency, trust, creativity and autonomy are central to this.

Research to and the development of tools to make AI transparant and explainable.

Research to tools, prototypes and methods that developers need to realise human centred AI.

Explore the boundaries of machine learning and the usefulness of it for entrepreneurs.

Project

Have you ever noticed that your car insurance premium changes when you move to a different neighborhood? Insurers calculate this using an algorithm, which can lead to indirect discrimination

Clear Government Communication

Project

Many people find it difficult to understand official information from the government, such as texts on websites and in formal letters. In this project, we explore how AI-based technology can help civil servants to communicate in a “clear language”, which is accessible for everybody.
