Contestable AI gives citizens more control over smart technology
![Contestable AI gives citizens more control over smart technology](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/f/e/csm_Kars%20Alfrink_Contestable%20AI%204_41d6c9c3c3.jpg)
The use of AI is on the rise across society, including by governments. For example, AI is used in the scan cars that drive around cities and use machine vision to monitor public space. AI increases efficiency, but can we, as citizens, trust its decisions? With Contestable AI, we design decision-making systems that allow citizens to express disagreement throughout their lifecycle. This is a way to ensure that government AI is worthy of people’s trust.

Dashboard sparks the growth of urban greenery
![Dashboard sparks the growth of urban greenery](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/1/d/csm_Sanne%20Keizer_Mobile%20forest%20project%20event_8212e9ff82.jpg)
Greenery makes cities more liveable. But how do you ensure urban greenery flourishes? Sanne Keizer devoted her graduation project to unearthing this answer, and in doing so designed a dashboard that monitors and predicts the evolution of urban greenery. "Urban greening needs more than a four-year policy period to be flourish," she says. Sanne’s project received a perfect score.

Data and the transformation of design research
![Data and the transformation of design research](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/f/6/csm_Jiwon%20Jung_Front%20Cover_Thesis_d77bc5c08b.jpg)
The rise of data technologies is changing the game for design researchers. As design moves towards complex societal challenges, design tools need to evolve by integrating the benefits of both humans and advanced technologies. For her PhD, Jiwon Jung explored how designers can work with data scientists and machine learning in developing digital health solutions, proposing that there is a lot to learn from each other.
