Human(e) AI synthesises ongoing work and stimulates new research at the UvA on the societal consequences of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and automated decision-making. The first round of projects included ones looking at news aggregation, cultural heritage, surveillance, and automated justice, and covered fundamental research questions in history, sociology, law, ethics, communication, economics, medicine and psychology.

UvA-wide network of researchers
The RPA is intended to build a network of researchers across all faculties of the UvA who together work towards more humane AI - AI and digital technologies that contribute to new forms of knowledge production, raise understanding, enhance cultural and socio-economic equality, and improve fairness and respect for fundamental rights in decision-making, both in the public and commercial sectors.

Human(e) AI Steering Board member and UvA professor of AI and Democracy Claes de Vreese: ‘We are extremely pleased with the projects chosen for this second round of funding. Their obvious societal relevance really encapsulates what Human(e) AI is all about and also demonstrates the breadth of interest and expertise in AI the UvA has across all of its faculties.’
