RPA Human(e) AI

Towards Humane AI

The Research Priority Area (RPA) Human(e) AI at the University of Amsterdam synthesises ongoing work and stimulates new research at the UvA on the societal consequences of the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) in a wide variety of societal areas.

Aims

The goal of the RPA is to enable Humane AI. To do so, the RPA envisions a set of ambitious and innovative activities along three main pillars:

Be a hub for knowledge production and discussion
Develop innovative research
Closely cooperate and share knowledge with societal partners

Research themes

The RPA will focus initially on case studies in the area of automated decision-making along three thematic foci:

Re-organising Processes and Players
Fundamental Rights, Public Values and Ethical Norms
Methodological, Legal and Ethical Challenges and Opportunities for AI Research

Research Projects 2020/2021

The RPA Human(e) is pleased to announce the new research projects that have been granted seed funding following the 2020 Call for Applications. After a successful year with the first seed funded teams, four research groups will now be joining our expanding community.
