1st AiTech Symposium
How can humans stay in control over artificial intelligence and autonomous systems? How can we design and engineer systems that support societal values?
The rapid development of AI brings benefits, but also creates ethical and socio-economic challenges. Now is the time to define how we want intelligent technologies to advance human well-being, without compromising our moral and social values.
AiTech is a mission-oriented program that aims to position TU Delft as a university in which design and engineering of autonomous intelligent technology embrace human values, responsibility and meaningful human control.
On September 26, we introduced our activities to the wider community of researchers from TU Delft and beyond at the 1st AiTech Symposium. The symposium included presentations by our team and invited speakers, as well as interactive sessions where we engaged in open conversations on how to keep intelligent autonomous systems under meaningful human control.
Video recordings of all presentations are publicly available via collegerama.
