The Humane Conversation series is part of the Research Priority Area Human(e) AI at the University of Amsterdam. Triggered by the accelerating development of AI and its growing influence on society, the RPA brings together scholars from across disciplines to explore how we can design responsible, trustworthy, and value-driven AI systems.

During the launch of this season’s Humane Conversation series, experts will engage in brilliant discussions on the dynamic interplay between art and artificial intelligence. A panel of researchers and artists will explore in depth how artistic practices can help us communicate, reimagine, and critically reflect on AI technologies, and how advancements in AI tools are reshaping creative expression itself.

About the organiser

The Research Priority Area Human(e) AI at the University of Amsterdam synthesises ongoing work and stimulates new research at the UvA on the societal consequences of the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) in a wide variety of societal areas. These include news aggregation, cultural heritage, surveillance, and automated justice and cover fundamental research questions in history, sociology, law, ethics, communication, economics, medicine and psychology.

The goal of the RPA is to enable Humane AI: AI and digital technologies contributing to new forms of knowledge production, understanding new forms of agency and intersubjectivity, enhancing cultural and socio-economic equality, improving fairness and respect for fundamental rights in decision-making both in the public and commercial sector, and realizing opportunities for digital citizenship.
