This is one of the sessions organised on Friday evening, 9 October, by the Dutch Research Agenda project InDeep, which focuses on responsible artificial intelligence (AI). Between 17:00 and 20:00, be inspired by one of five sessions exploring the question: What if we want to remain in control of AI?
Moving beyond the hype and headlines, experts, artists, and visitors will explore the intellectual, ethical, and artistic dimensions of AI together. How can citizens regain greater control over these technological developments?
Choose from five thought-provoking sessions, experience AI demonstrations in collaboration with the Amsterdam Data Science Centre, and join the conversation about the future of AI. The evening concludes with drinks and bites.
