Launch event | Centre for Meaningful Human Control over AI

As AI algorithms rapidly revolutionize various sectors – from healthcare through public services to transportation – they also raise concerns over their potential to spiral beyond human control and responsibility. In 2018, TU Delft launched the AiTech initiative to address the transdisciplinary challenges related to designing systems under Meaningful Human Control. Concurrently, the project “Meaningful Human Control over Automated Driving Systems” (2017-2021) further developed and operationalised this concept in the context of driving automation. These and other initiatives have produced impactful research, fostered community building – both national and international, and influenced key policy documents by Dutch and EU authorities.

In this event we invite you to celebrate with us two recent milestones from our MHC community! The release of the first Research Handbook on Meaningful Human Control of Artificial Intelligent Systems and the launch of the Centre for meaningful human control over systems with autonomous capabilities.

This event is a unique opportunity to engage with leading academics and practitioners in the field, and to exchange perspectives regarding the challenges and approaches towards keeping meaningful human control over technology, including philosophical, legal, and technical perspectives.
