AI Summit Brainport

Report: AI with a human touch: regulation for co-creation
Source: Innovation Origins



The theme for this event Human-Centered AI: Balancing Technology and Humanity. Human-Centered AI refers to the alignment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems with human values and goals.

The program contained four interesting tracks: research, expert, adoption and start-up track.

The four tracks:
Research track
In the summit’s research track, EAISI-researchers and partners will present their latest findings, specifically around the theme of human-centered AI. Because, not coincidentally, EAISI specifically leverages the university's expertise in Human-Computer Interaction and Ethics as a core competence, aside of Data Science and Engineering Systems. Please join the discussions and get to know in detail what is happening in the center of Brainport’s AI research.

Expert track
Human Centered AI – Balancing Technology and Humanity
We will dive into both the strategical and practical elements of transforming businesses and how to apply AI at scale.

The morning program will focus on organizational transformation: how to adapt to the new era of Generative AI? The afternoon program will focus on disruptive business models and collaboration with AI startups.

Adoption track (in Dutch)
Voor het mkb liggen er volop kansen om waarde te halen uit data. De transitie naar data-optimalisatie is in volle gang. Wat betekent dat voor jouw bedrijf? En hoe haal je hier het meeste profijt uit? Hier gaan we graag over in gesprek tijdens deze track.
