  • Profile

    Dieuwertje Luitse is PhD Candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis and part of the Department of Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) . Her research explores the ethics, politics and power of data, artificial intelligence (AI) systems and application development in healthcare. This project is part of the UvA’s interdisciplinary research priority area on AI for Health decision-making that brings together researchers from Computer Science, Medicine, Law and the Humanities. In addition, her research interest focuses on the study of computational infrastructures and the (historical) development of AI systems in relation to their socio-economic and political implications.

    In line with her research activities, Dieuwertje is the co-organiser of the Critical AI Seminar Series hosted by the Critical Data and AI research group at UvA's Faculty of Humanities and one of the co-editors of the topical collection on the Politics of Machine Learning Evaluation in Digital Society.
