SUMMARY:Symposium and Opening Centre for Meaningful Human Control
DESCRIPTION:Mondai | House of AI is glad to host the Symposium and Opening of the new Centre for Meaningful Human Control of the TU Delft!Hosted in collaboration with the Centre for Meaningful Human Control and the TU Delft AI Initiative. \nAs AI algorithms rapidly revolutionize various sectors – from healthcare through public services to transportation – they also raise concerns over their potential to spiral beyond human control and responsibility. In 2018\, TU Delft launched the AiTech initiative to address the transdisciplinary challenges related to designing systems under Meaningful Human Control. Concurrently\, the project “Meaningful Human Control over Automated Driving Systems” (2017-2021) further developed and operationalised this concept in the context of driving automation. These and other initiatives have produced impactful research\, fostered community building – both national and international\, and influenced key policy documents by Dutch and EU authorities. \nIn this event we invite you to celebrate with us two recent milestones from our MHC community! The release of the first Research Handbook on Meaningful Human Control and the launch of the Centre for Meaningful Human Control. \nRegister here!This event is a unique opportunity to engage with leading academics and practitioners in the field! Exchange perspectives – philosophical\, legal\, and technical – on the challenges and approaches towards keeping meaningful human control over technology. \nProgramme\n08.30 – 09.00 Walk-in and Registration\n09.00 – 10.15 Welcome by David Abbink (Scientific Director CMHC) and Luciano Cavalcante Siebert (Co-Director CMHC)\, interactive session by Nazli Cila and Deborah Forster (Research Team CMHC)\, keynote by Carles Sierra (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute\, Spanish National Research Council)\n10.15 – 10.40 Break and Handbook Gallery\n10.40 – 12.30 Keynotes by Johannes Himmelreich (Syracuse University)\, and Tanya Krupiy (Newcastle University)\, and a Panel Discussion with Authors of the Handbook\n12.30 – 13.30 Lunch\n13.30 – 14.50 Welcome by Arkady Zgonnikov (Co-Director CMHC). Keynotes by David Abbink (Scientific Director CMHC) and Kim van Sparrentak (European Parliament)\n14.25 – 14.50 Break\n14.50 – 16.40 Keynotes by Barbara Holder (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University) and Ilse Harms (Dutch Vehicle Authority)\, and an interactive session on bringing MHC research to practice\n16.40 – 17.00 Official Launch of the Centre for Meaningful Human Control\n17.00 Celebratory Drinks! \nMorning Programme: Academic Challenges of Meaningful Human Control Exciting keynotes provide an integrated overview from various academic perspectives – ethical\, legal\, design and engineering. And\, an interactive session with the authors and editors provides a change to deep-dive into the Handbook on Meaningful Human Control. \nOn the Engineering of Social Values - Carles Sierra (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute)\nOn the Engineering of Social Values\nBy: Carles Sierra (Artificial Intelligence Research Institute) \nEthics in Artificial Intelligence is a wide-ranging field encompassing many open questions regarding the moral\, legal and technical issues of using and designing ethically-compliant autonomous agents. Under this umbrella\, the computational ethics area is concerned with formulating and codifying ethical principles into software components. In this talk\, I will look at a particular problem in computational ethics: engineering moral values into autonomous agents. I will focus on the essential role of human communities in defining social values and their associated norm-based social contracts. \n \nCarles Sierra is the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) located in Barcelona. He is the President of EurAI\, the European Association of Artificial Intelligence. He has been contributing to Artificial Intelligence research since 1985 in the areas of Knowledge Representation\, Auctions\, Electronic Institutions\, Autonomous Agents\, Multiagent Systems and Agreement Technologies. He is a Fellow of the European Association of AI\, EurAI\, and recipient of the ACM/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award 2019. \nFor Knowledge and Commitment — Or: What’s the Point of Meaningful Human Control? - Johannes Himmelreich (Syracuse University)\nFor Knowledge and Commitment — Or: What’s the Point of Meaningful Human Control?\nBy: Johannes Himmelreich (Syracuse University) \nJohannes suggests that Meaningful Human Control (MHC) may be missing the point. Theories of MHC typically concentrate on intention\, intervention\, and action; and the theories seek to warrant moral responsibility and avoid harms. That\, he takes it\, is the point of MHC. But this typical focus on intention\, action\, and intervention misses this point\, or so he argues. To ensure responsibility\, knowledge matters more than intention or intervention. And to avoid certain outcomes\, a commitment to refrain from acting may matter more than maintaining human control. In fact\, with partially superhuman Artificial Intelligence we need both. We need to *know* when AI outperforms humans to then *commit* to defer to AI. This often avoids harmful outcomes without undermining moral responsibility. \nJohannes Himmelreich is a philosopher who teaches and works in a policy school. He is an Assistant Professor in Public Administration and International Affairs in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. He works in the areas of political philosophy\, applied ethics\, and philosophy of science. Currently\, he researches the ethical quandaries that data scientists face\, how the government should use AI\, and how to check for algorithmic fairness under uncertainty. He published papers on “Responsibility for Killer Robots\,” the trolley problem and the ethics of self-driving cars\, as well as on the role of embodiment in virtual reality. He holds a PhD in Philosophy from the London School of Economics (LSE). Prior to joining Syracuse\, he was a post-doctoral fellow at Humboldt University in Berlin and at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society at Stanford University. During his time in Silicon Valley\, he consulted on tech ethics for Fortune 500 companies\, and taught ethics at Apple. \nGovernance of the Human-AI Coupling - Tanya Krupiy (Newcastle University)\n\nGovernance of the Human-AI Coupling\nBy: Tanya Krupiy (Newcastle University) \nJuliane Beck and Thomas Burri discuss the fact that the debate over what constitutes meaningful human control over artificial intelligence systems has been largely confined to the context of military applications of artificial intelligence. Scholars\, such as Jonathan Kwik and Frank Flemisch et al\, have proposed various definitions for the term meaningful human control in the context of the use of artificial intelligence systems. Article 14 of the Artificial Intelligence Act 2024 gives effect to the aspiration to have human oversight over the operation of high-risk artificial intelligence systems. This presentation will examine what duties the Netherlands has under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in regard to governing human-artificial intelligence coupling in the context of the organisations employing artificial intelligence as part of the decision-making process. It will conclude that the Netherlands needs to enact legislation in order to comply with its international human rights law obligations under CEDAW. This stems from the fact that there is a tension between obligations flowing from the CEDAW and the Artificial Intelligence Act 2024. \n\n \nTanya Krupiy is a lecturer in digital law\, policy and society at Newcastle University. She has expertise in international human rights law\, international humanitarian law and international criminal law. Tanya holds a Master of Laws with distinction in public international law from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She gained a Doctor of Philosophy in law from the University of Essex. She received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to carry out a postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University in Canada. Thereafter\, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Tilburg University. Tanya’s research appears in Oxford University Press\, University of Melbourne and Brill publications among others. \n  \nAfternoon Programme: Pragmatic Challenges of Meaningful Human Control In the afternoon we focus on the practical challenges of meaningful human control. Via talks and interactive sessions around real-world challenges from international experts we take a closer look at sectors like the aviation and automotive industry\, and Dutch and European policy making. We also take the time to explore how you might interact with its network and expertise. \nAt the end of the day we also officially launch and celebrate our Centre on Meaningful Human Control! \nTech Regulation: the way towards Ethical AI - Kim van Sparrentak (European Parliament)\n\nTech Regulation: the way towards Ethical AI\nBy: Kim van Sparrentak (European Parliament) \n\n \nKim van Sparrentak is a Dutch politician who has been serving as a Member of the European Parliament for the GroenLinks political party since 2019. She co-wrote legislation that limited the influence of major tech companies and that granted municipalities greater discretion in regulating which properties can be rented out for short-term homestays through platforms such as Airbnb. Van Sparrentak was re-elected in June 2024 as the fourth candidate on the shared GroenLinks–PvdA list\, which received a plurality in the Netherlands of eight seats. \n  \nWho’s flying this thing?! Considerations for a shared Human-Automation Future - Barbara Holder (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University)\nWho’s flying this thing?! Considerations for a shared Human-Automation Future\nBy: Barbara Holder (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University) \n \nBarbara Holder is Associate Professor and Presidential Fellow in the College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). Before joining ERAU in November 2021\, Holder had worked since 2015 as a fellow in Advanced Technology at Honeywell Aerospace\, where she studied human-machine issues across a wide range of aircraft. Earlier\, she spent 15 years with The Boeing Company. There\, she was an associate technical fellow and lead scientist of the Flight Deck Concept Center. Holder was a post-doctoral research fellow at NASA Ames Research Center where she investigated how pilots come to understand the auto-flight system of the Airbus A320 while flying the line. \nHolder is chair of the Human Factors Subcommittee to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Research\, Engineering and Development Advisory Committee.  She is also a member of the FAA’s Air Carrier Training Aviation Rulemaking Committee’s Flight Path Management Working Group. She is a fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. She has nine patents and multiple scholarly publications. \nThe Practical Challenges of Interacting with Automated Cars - Ilse Harms (Dutch Vehicle Authority))\nThe Practical Challenges of Interacting with Automated Cars\nBy: Ilse Harms (Dutch Verhicle Authority) \nDriving a car is a complex and dynamic task. It entails the execution of tasks varying from motor-executive tasks\, such as keeping the car within its lane\, to more cognitive tasks such as understanding the driving environment to decide whether it is safe to overtake\, till keeping track off which exit to take. These days\, in-vehicle systems are increasingly assisting with\, or taking over\, part of the driving tasks. Even up to the point that humans feel that the car is actually driving itself. Under specific conditions\, some cars actually can take over full control over the driving task. This interplay between the human driver and the machine driver has design implications for the vehicle\, which need to be assessed in vehicle type approval. Considering her work at the Dutch Vehicle Authority\, Ilse will share with you some of the practical challenges related to human control in the context of assisted and automated driving \n \n“Human Factors is an integral part of mobility.” This combination is also the recurring theme in Ilse Harms’s career. Ilse is a traffic psychologist who enjoys working at the intersection of theory and practice. She conducted her PhD research at the University of Groningen while working for the Dutch government. \nCurrently she works at RDW – the Dutch Vehicle Authority – where she is a leading figure in the field of human factors and vehicle automation. Furthermore\, Ilse has successfully worked to get the topic of human factors in Euro NCAP’s Vision 2030. At Euro NCAP she is both the alternate director for the Netherlands and the Chair for the HMI & Human Factors Working Group. \nA Moment of Celebration! We are very excited to celebrate the official launch of the Centre for Meaningful Human Control over systems with autonomous capabilities with you. The mission of the Centre is to connect academics and practitioners to better conceptualise\, design\, implement\, and assess systems under meaningful human control. We strive to be a lighthouse for collaboration among multiple stakeholders: to leverage interdisciplinary expertise\, existing initiatives at TU Delft\, and an international network of collaborators at the forefront of research and practice on meaningful human control. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:TU Delft AI Lunch - The unprecedented environmental impacts of AI: a transdisciplinary discussion
DESCRIPTION:Mondai | House of AI is happy to host the next edition of the TU Delft AI Lunch:\nThe unprecedented environmental impacts of AI: a transdisciplinary discussion\n \nWhile AI is frequently touted as a panacea for numerous global issues\, including tackling chronic diseases\, economic revitalization\, and addressing societal needs such as national security challenges and the Climate Crisis\, this narrative frequently overlooks the significant environmental impacts stemming from the increasing demand for AI tools. These costs include unparalleled demand of rare metals\, massive energy expenditure and an unprecedented impact on land use\, water consumption and energy systems. For instance\, Microsoft’s most recent environmental report for 2022 after the launch of Open AI generative AI services reveals a significant 34% increase in its worldwide water consumption from 2021 to 2022\, reaching nearly 1.7 billion gallons. Given recent accelerations in investment of new data centers\, these dramatic numbers are expected to continue impacting ecosystems around the globe. During this panel\, we aim to open up a discussion to bring the environmental implications of AI into integral and actionable view.  We will discuss how the growing dependence of AI functionalities and their underlying computational infrastructures contributes to environmental impacts\, and what is needed in science\, engineering\, policy making and (global) politics to acknowledge and address the steep costs associated with these impacts. We focus on how to bring together different disciplines and stakeholders across engineering\, computer science\, political economy and other fields to build an integral understanding of the problem and what challenges as well as actionable strategies we should pursue to curb the environmental impacts of AI. \nThis event includes free lunch for which registration is required (help us reduce food waste!) \nPanellists\n\n\n\nBenedetta Brevini\nVisiting Professor at the Institute for Public Knowledge\,  New York University.\nBenedetta’s research is grounded in a critical political economy that investigates the social\,political\, economic and environmental implications of data-driven communication systems and in particular the relationship between Data Capitalism\, AI and the Climate Crisis.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: 'Human Freedom in the Age of AI' by Filippo Santoni de Sio
DESCRIPTION:Mondai | House of AI is pleased to host the book launch of ‘Human Freedom in the Age of AI‘ by Filippo Santoni de Sio \nThe book Human Freedom in the Age of AI explains how artificial intelligence (AI) may affect our freedom at work\, in our daily life\, and in the political sphere. The author Filippo Santoni de Sio\, associate professor of ethics of technology at TU Delft and a leading expert in the field of AI ethics\, provides a philosophical framework to help make sense of and govern the ethical and political impact of AI in these domains. AI offers employers new forms of control of the workforce\, opening the door to new forms of domination and exploitation; it may reduce our capacity to remain in control of and responsible for our decisions and actions\, thereby affecting our free will and moral responsibility; and it may increase the power of governments and tech companies to steer the political life\, thereby affecting the possibility of a free and inclusive political participation. \nIt is still possible to promote human freedom in our interactions with AI\, but this requires designing AI systems that help promote workers’ freedom\, strengthen human control and responsibility\, and foster a free\, active\, and inclusive democratic participation. From ‘freedom as non-domination’ to ‘meaningful human control’ and  value-sensitive- and critical design\, the book critically discusses and connects a broad variety of topics in ethics\, political philosophy and design studies\, paving the way for an original\, comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to AI Ethics\, centred on the concept of social and political freedom. \nIn this event the author Filippo Santoni will presents the book and engage in an in-person conversation with two Dutch-based experts in the ethics and politics of AI: \nAuthor: Filippo Santoni De Sio\nAssociate Professor in Ethics of Technology at the Faculty of Technology\, Policy\, and Managment \nFilippo Santoni De Sio is an Academic philosopher and professor specialized in interdisciplinary work in ethics of technology\, with a special interest in the ethics of AI.  His drive to pave new paths in the field led him to write Human Freedom in the Age of AI\, published in March 2024. \nHis research is focused on the questions as to how emerging technologies – especially AI systems – can affect our concepts and practices of freedom\, moral and legal responsibility\, and democracy; and how a philosophical understanding of the philosophical concepts and practices can in turn help understand and inform the design and development of emerging technologies. \nDiscussant: Cristina Zaga\nAssistant professor of the Human-Centred Design group and DesignLab at the University of Twente \nCristina’s research aims to foster societal transitions towards justice\, care\, and solidarity\, with a focus on care and the future of work with AI and robots. She develops transdisciplinary approaches\, blending-in design justice\, speculation and more-than-human design. Cristina also leads the Social Justice and AI network\, working towards mitigating the dehumanizing effects of AI and promoting social and environmental justice. Her award-winning work has received many accolades nationally and internationally\, including the NWO Science Price for DEI initiatives (2022)\, the Dutch High Education Award (2022)\, and the Google Women Techmaker Award and scholarship (2018). \nDiscussant: Uğur Aytaç\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Utrecht University \nUgur’s research investigates how varying conceptualizations of power and domination should shape our normative judgments about the legitimacy of socio-political arrangements\, including digital platforms\, economic institutions\, and states. Fundamental questions such as ‘what is political power?’\, ‘how can we assess its legitimacy in different institutional domains? and ‘how should we address any legitimacy deficits arising from unaccountable powers?’ have driven his research from his PhD in Amsterdam to the projects he undertakes as an Assistant Professor in Utrecht. \nHe also takes academic citizenship seriously\, aiming to help cultivate a community among philosophers in the Netherlands. He is co-coordinator of the political philosophy study group at the Dutch Research School of Philosophy. In this capacity\, he co-organizes regular workshops where participants receive feedback on their research.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series on Meaningful Human-AI Interactions for a Digital Society - #1: Designing for Meaningful Human-AI Interactions
DESCRIPTION:A Seminar Series on Meaningful Human-AI Interactions for a Digital SocietyEvent #1: Designing for Meaningful Human-AI Interactions  \nWith the increasing creation\, use\, and implementation of novel AI systems in every aspect of our society\, we must ensure that AI complements us by providing meaningful engagement\, centering systems on our human values\, and implementing such systems with due consideration of society at large. In this series\, we will bring together experts from diverse fields such as human-computer interaction (HCI)\, philosophy\, design\, and law with policymakers and practitioners in a mixture of single-speaker seminars\, multidisciplinary panels\, and expert-led workshops to define what it means to have meaningful human-AI interaction; how to design for these interactions in AI systems; and how to promote such interactions through legislation and policy making. \nThe kickoff event will be May 8th at noon to discuss how to design meaningful human-AI interactions for a digital society. Through presentations and discussion with panelists Dr. Mike Lensink (The Green Land)\, Dr. Dorian Peters (University of Cambridge)\, and Dr. Matthew Dennis (TU Eindhoven)\, we will discuss: what makes human-AI interactions meaningful? What features must be considered to ensure “meaningfulness”? How do we design for meaning in an ethically-responsible manner? The event will be moderated by Dr. Jie Yang (TU Delft). \nAll experts\, policymakers\, and practitioners with an interest in human-AI interactions are welcome to attend! \nThis event is supported by the National Digital Society Programme\, Mondai | House of AI\, the TU Delft AI Initiative\, Web Information Systems (WIS)\, and the Digital Ethics Centre. \n(This event will be held in English) \nSpeakersMike Lensink (34) is as a researcher\, facilitator\, and advisor specialised in the ethics of technological innovation\, data and algorithmic decision making.

SUMMARY:Escaping the Echo Chamber: The Quest for the Normative News Recommender Systems and a new notion of Computer Science
DESCRIPTION:Mondai | House of AI is pleased to host the new edition of the Distinguished Speaker Series: \nEscaping the Echo Chamber: The Quest for the Normative News Recommender Systems and a new notion of Computer Science Recommender systems and social networks are often faulted to be the cause for creating Echo Chambers – environments where people mostly encounter news that match their previous choices or those that are popular among similar users\, resulting in their isolation inside familiar but insulated information silos. Echo chambers\, in turn\, have been attributed to be one cause for the polarization of society\, which leads to the increased difficulty to promote tolerance\, build consensus\, and forge compromises. To escape these echo chambers\, we propose to change the focus of recommender systems from optimizing prediction accuracy only to considering measures for social cohesion. \nThis proposition raises questions in three spheres: In the technical sphere\, we need to investigate how to build “socially considerate” recommender systems. To that end\, we develop a novel recommendation framework with the goal of improving information diversity using a modified random walk exploration of the user-item graph. In the social sphere\, we need to investigate if the adapted recommender systems have the desired effect. To that end\, we present an empirical pilot study that exposed users to various sets (some diverse) of news with surprising results. Finally\, in the normative sphere\, these studies raise the question what kind of diversity is desirable for the functioning of democracy. \nReflecting the consequences of these findings for our discipline\, this talk highlights that computer science needs to increasingly engage with both the social and normative challenges of our work\, possibly producing a new understanding of our discipline. It proposes similar consequences for other disciplines in that they increasingly need to embrace all three spheres. \nDistinguished Speaker: Abraham Bernstein\, Prof.\, PhD\nis Full Professor at the Department of Informatics (Institut für Informatik) of the University of Zurich. He mainly conducts research on the Semantic Web and Knowledge Discovery. His work draws from both social science (organizational psychology/sociology) and technical foundations (computer science\, artificial intelligence).\nBefore coming to Zurich he was an Assistant Professor at the Information Systems Department of New York University’s Stern School of Business and received a Ph.D. at MIT’s Sloan School of Management\, where he worked with Prof. Thomas W. Malone at the Center for Coordination Science.\n \nThe seminar starts 16.00 sharp! Conversation and contemplation can continue over drinks and snacks after the lecture\,\nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:AI Lab Lunch: DeTaiL Lab & SELF Lab
DESCRIPTION:During this Lab Lunch the DeTaiL Lab and the SELF Lab will present themselves and their latest developments! \n(This event will be held in English) \n DeTAIL is all about training & innovation in tensor-based AI methods for biomedical signals. Within the DeTAIL Lab\, the team focuses on both the development of novel low-rank tensor methods and their application for biomedical signal processing\, thereby enabling a much faster\, and therefore more energy-sustainable\, training of AI models from large datasets without any loss of accuracy.\n—- \n \nThe SELF Lab is the Smart Edge Lab for Healthcare. Today’s AI solutions are extremely power-hungry and are unsuitable for energy-constrained Internet-of-Things (IoT)-edge devices. Deploying AI at the edge requires new computing engines with energy efficiencies 100 to 1000 times better than current state-of-the-art technologies. The SELF Lab targets the design and development of smart edge computing engines. They demonstrate their superiority for personalized healthcare\, such as early epilepsy detection (a neurological disease that manifests as a brain-wide phenomenon). \n\nRegister via the button above or below!Note for TU Delft PhDs\nPer 4 seminars from the AI (-related) seminar series: Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence Systems (HCAIS) Deep Dive; and Delft AI Lab Lunches\, PhD candidates from partaking TU Delft faculties can earn 0.5 GSC for up to 1.5 GSC (category: Discipline Related Skills).

Where should we stand? When is AI worth engaging with? And how can enable ‘better AI’ strategies? \nWe will jump into the topic through the inspiring and concise keynotes from three TBA panelists\, and then dig deeper into this troubling space and the force fields at play through a panel discussion and Q&A with the audience moderated by dr. Maria Luce Lupetti. During this morning you’ll be encouraged to broaden your perspective on dilemmas and challenges for sustainable AI futures with new ethical\, technical and application insights. \nSpeakers:  Prof.dr.ir. Andy van den Dobbelsteen\, Professor of Climate Design & Sustainability at TU Delft and Principal Investigator at AMS Institute (Amsterdam)\nAndy teaches architecture students sustainable design of cities\, buildings and techniques. He was ‘faculty advisor’ to TU Delft’s three successful Solar Decathlon teams (Prêt-à-Loger\, MOR and SUM) and is responsible for the free online course Zero-Energy Design\, winner of the edX Online Prize 2020 (best online course in the world). Together with his team\, Andy has led and implemented many national and international research projects on energy transition\, climate adaptation\, circularity and other sustainability themes. His mission is to devise and realise fully sustainable solutions that improve the liveability of the planet\, getting as many people as possible on board. To this end\, he measures himself in his CO2 emissions and is now working to make the entire TU Delft CO2-neutral\, circular\, climate-adaptive and nature-inclusive. For his sustainability work\, Andy was appointed Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion in 2018. \n Dr.ir. Roel Dobbe\, Assistant professor in Data-driven/Algorithmic Systems at TU Delft\nRoel’s research addresses the integration of data-driven technologies in societal infrastructure and institutions\, with a focus on safety\, sustainability and justice. His research strands include: \n> Data-driven methods for design and control of complex systems and services\n> Integrating design and governance for the responsible integration of data-driven and algorithmic systems\n> The political economy of advanced learning and control systems and their information technology infrastructures\n> The environmental implications of “artificial intelligence”\n> Safety of AI systems in sociotechnical design and policy contexts \nRoel’s research is motivated by problems in energy (intelligent planning and operation of electric power distribution)\, public administration and healthcare. \n Dr. June Sallou\, Postdoc in (Sustainable) Software Engineering at TU Delft\nJune is currently a Postdoc in the department Software Engineering\, in the SERG research team\, under the supervision of Luís Cruz. She did her PhD in Software Engineering at the University of Rennes. Her doctorate was part of a collaboration between the IRISA and OSUR laboratories and reflected the desire to bring software engineering closer to the scientific field of hydrogeology.

SUMMARY:AI Lab Lunch: AidroLab & XAIT Lab
DESCRIPTION:During this AI Lab Lunch the Aidro Lab and the XAIT Lab will present themselves and their latest developments! \n(This event will be held in English) \nThe AidroLab brings together fundamental and applied AI to push the boundaries of science\, enabling resilient and sustainable urban water systems. Fast and accurate AI-tools are needed to model the physical processes within water networks and during flooding events. AidroLab believes that the most promising techniques to develop such tools are Graph Neural Networks or GNNs – an extension of deep learning to graph data structures. They are also exploring other AI-applications that can complement our GNN models and provide a thorough AI-based digital twin of (urban) water systems. \nThe XAIT Lab develops novel approaches that focus on the explainable aspect of AI for mobility. They incorporate explainability into three core modules within mobility decision support systems: state estimation\, prediction and optimization. This means integrating multimodal data\, contextual information and novel AI techniques into a single holistic digital twin platform. The result is augmented digital twinning methodologies with explainable AI techniques\, creating a new class of AI twins for cities. Such approaches provide tangible and concrete decision support that helps resilient cities to tackle urban problems such as evacuation\, energy\, long-term planning and infrastructure operations. \nNote for TU Delft PhDs\nPer 4 seminars from the AI (-related) seminar series: Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence Systems (HCAIS) Deep Dive; and Delft AI Lab Lunches\, PhD candidates from partaking TU Delft faculties can earn 0.5 GSC for up to 1.5 GSC (category: Discipline Related Skills). Check with your local Faculty Graduate School if they offer this option for earning GSC; and with your supervisors if they accept our seminars on your Doctoral Education list. If you already have form\, don’t forget to bring it with you \nAI Lab Lunch Series\nThe Delft AI Lab Lunch is a monthly meet-up hosted by the TU Delft AI Labs & Talent community at Mondai | House of AI. Every month\, two Delft AI Labs present their work and discuss challenges and developments made in their field. During these events\, you can participate\, learn\, make connections\, inspire and be inspired by and with the Delft AI Labs. This event is open for all interested.

SUMMARY:AI for Crisis Response and Climate Security
DESCRIPTION:AI for Crisis Response and Climate Security: Opportunities\, Challenges and Future Directions (This event will be held in English) \nOver the past decade\, we have been confronted with floods and storms\, pandemics\, and conflict. At the same time\, AI has undoubtedly changed the way humans interact and make decisions. As such\, AI holds substantial promise for understanding and mitigating some of the world’s ‘super-wicked problems’\, e.g.\, the climate crisis\, pandemics\, or food security. For instance\, AI is used to analyse the damages resulting from earthquakes or storms to better allocate resources and plan the recovery; to predict how people move in disaster affected areas\, or how human mobility will contribute to the spread of a virus; and to forecast the needs of a disaster-affected population for food\, water\, shelter\, or financial assistance. However\, decisions in disasters are characterized by high levels of complexity\, uncertainty\, and different moral dilemmas that any AI has to account for. At the same time\, crisis decisions are often urgent. We know that under time pressure and when the stakes are high\, decisions are prone to a range of cognitive biases. \nIn this workshop\, we aim to unpack the main opportunities\, challenges\, and to explore the ways forward to design\, develop and use AI for Crisis Response and Climate security. Our aim is to connect researchers\, policy-makers\, and practitioners active in this domain\, and to develop a joint research agenda. \nProgramme\n12.30-13.30     Networking lunch \n13.30-15.00     Inspiration session \nWe explore different application fields\, and gain insights from the practice of AI research and use. Our speakers are:\nCrisis Response: Dr. Ali Mostafavi\, Zachry Career Development Associate Professor\, Civil & Environmental Engineering\, Texas A&M\nClimate Security: Thomas Baar\, Lead for the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification\, FAO\nForecast-Based Financing & Vulnerability Assessment: Marc van den Homberg\, Lead 510.Global\nGeospatial AI: Thijs Oosterhuis\, Earth Observation Application and Processing Expert at Space4good \n15.00-15.30     Coffee Break \n15.30-16.30     Interactive workshop \nWe co-create our joint agenda to make headway in developing responsible AI for crisis response and climate security in two rounds:\nIdentify research questions and research needs from academia\, policy and practice\nCluster and prioritize research topics \n16.30              Closing & drinks \nSpeakers\nAli Mostafavi – The Next Big Leap: How AI and Data Science Can Transform Disaster Resilience Research and Practice\nis a Zachry Endowed Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is the Director of UrbanResilience.AI Lab whose research focuses on creating advanced computational models and data science algorithms to advance smart and equitable resilience to crises. His research program integrates advanced machine learning and complex systems-based computational modeling into infrastructure resilience assessments in order to understand and predict complex interactions in the nexus of humans-disasters-built environment. In his talk Ali Mostafavi will expand on using AI for smart crisis response and resilience: how can research on combining community-scale big data with deep and machine learning models improve the ability of a city to withstand disruptions and rapidly recover from crises. \nThomas Baar – A Global Food Crisis: Modelling and Uncertainty\nis a product development manager at the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). He is responsible for coordinating the IPC Digital Innovation Agenda\, which focuses on modelling and consensus building in support of the IPC analysis process. In addition\, he coordinates the design and roll-out of the new IPC Analysis Platform. The IPC Analysis Platform will support analysts and facilitators in conducting and communicating the IPC analysis process more efficiently and effectively. Simultaneously\, it will provide an enabling infrastructure for further digital innovation and the integration of validated technologies into the IPC. In his talk Thomas Baar will showcase how AI is improving the analysis process of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC)\, and he will discuss the link between automated and human decision-making. \nMarc van den Homberg – Artificial Intelligence and Big data for disaster risk management: opportunities and challenges for the Red Cros Red Crescent Movement\nis the scientific lead of 510\, an initiative of The Netherlands Red Cross. 510’s mission is to shape the future of humanitarian aid by converting data into understanding and supporting humanitarian relief workers\, decision-makers\, and people affected so that they can better prepare for and cope with disasters. His research concerns improving preparedness and response to natural hazards and complex emergencies through data-driven risk assessments\, impact-based forecasting\, information management\, and governance mechanisms. He leads the collaboration with academia and supervises MSc/PhD research about 510’s projects with over 40 African and Asian National Red Cross societies. Marc is an Advisory board member of WMO The High-Impact Weather Project (HIWeather) and IFRCs Early Action Protocol Validation Committee. Before 510\, Marc was the leader and co-founder within TNO\, the Netherlands Research and Technology Organization\, of the ICT for Development (ICT4D) team with which he implemented pro-poor ICT innovations. In his talk\, Marc will show examples of 510’s use-inspired research on AI and big data for disaster risk management while considering data gaps\, accountability\, and explainability.
