To answer these questions the research team, led by the TU Delft, aims to build a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules, using laboratory evolution and artificial intelligence for the first time. The ten-year research programme to do so, entitled “Evolving life from non-life” or simply “EVOLF”, was awarded 40 million euro by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the Summit grants scheme.

Human oversight necessary for weapon systems with artificial intelligence

Kunstmatige intelligentie is niet meer weg te denken uit onze maatschappij. Denk aan ChatGPT, geautomatiseerd rijden en diagnoses stellen in de zorg. Defensie gebruikt het ook, onder meer bij beeldverwerking en luchtverdedigingssystemen. Bij deze toepassingen is menselijk toezicht nodig. Luitenant-kolonel ir. Ilse Verdiesen onderzocht hoe dat vorm kan krijgen. Op 3 april promoveerde zij op dit onderwerp bij de TU Delft.
