Responsible Design and Engineering of Human-centered AI and Data Driven Systems

Responsible Design and Engineering of Human-centered AI and Data Driven Systems AI, data and digitalisation are increasingly essential to solving big societal issues. At TU Delft, we do not only want AI and data driven systems to make human activities more efficient and sustainable, but these systems should be designed in such a way that they also make them fairer, more democratic and even lead to a greater human wellbeing. Focus on humans and engineering together When designing and engineering technological solutions to contemporary challenges, we should not lose sight of the human being. AI and data driven systems should contribute to greater safety, freedom and fairness, and therefore to greater physical and psychological wellbeing of all people. Humans are also the focus in terms of how they engage with the technology. For example, we ask ourselves: What are specific human versus technological strengths? And how can humans and technology optimally cooperate? To empower people To properly serve and engage humans, systems need to be properly designed and engineered. In the context of AI and data driven systems, this covers aspects related to algorithms, to data, and to whole systems and their interfaces. We strive for systems designed in such a way that the people using it, really understand the systems. And the systems observe, interpret and understand, at least to some degree, human behaviour. The way we work For many years already, researchers at TU Delft have been developing the scientific, technological and methodological capabilities that are needed to realise this vision of a truly human-centered approach to AI systems. We consider human-centric AI to be inherently transdisciplinary, as it brings together science and practice in computer science, design, systems engineering, human-machine interaction, psychology, ethics and philosophy, organisation, and an entire range of application-specific disciplines.

Students Amos Yusuf, Mick Dam & Bas Brouwer winners of Mekel Prize 2024

Master students Amos Yusuf, from the ME faculty (Mick Dam, from the EEMCS faculty and graduate Bas Brouwer have won the Mekel Prize 2024 for the best extra scientific activity at TU Delft: the development of an initiative that brings master students into the classroom teaching sciences to the younger generations. The prize was ceremonially awarded by prof Tim van den Hagen on 13 November after the Van Hasselt Lecture at the Prinsenhof, Delft. They received a statue of Professor Jan Mekel and 1.500,- to spend on their project. Insights into climate change are being openly doubted. Funding for important educational efforts and research are being withdrawn. Short clips – so called “reels” – on Youtube and TikTok threaten to simplify complex political and social problems. AI fakes befuddle what is true and what is not. The voices of science that contribute to those discussion with modesty, careful argument and scepticism, are drowned in noise. This poses a threat for universities like TU Delft, who strive to increase student numbers, who benefit from diverse student populations and aim to pass on their knowledge and scientific virtues to the next generation. It is, therefore, alarming that student enrolments to Bachelor and Master Programs at TU Delft have declined in the past year. Students in front of the class The project is aimed to make the sciences more appealing to the next generation. They have identified the problem that students tend miss out on the opportunity of entering a higher education trajectory in the Beta sciences – because they have a wrong picture of such education. In their mind, they depict it as boring and dry. In his pilot lecture at the Stanislas VMBO in Delft, Amos Yusuf has successfully challenged this image. He shared his enthusiasm for the field of robotics and presented himself as a positive role model to the pupils. And in return the excitement of the high school students is palpable in the videos and pictures from the day. The spark of science fills their eyes. Bas Brouwer Mick Dam are the founders of NUVO – the platform that facilitates the engagement of Master Students in high school education in Delft Their efforts offer TU Delft Master Students a valuable learning moment: By sharing insights from their fields with pupils at high school in an educational setting, our students can find identify their own misunderstandings of their subject, learn to speak in front of non-scientific audiences and peak into education as a work field they themselves might not have considered. An extraordinary commitment According to the Mekel jury, the project scored well on all the criteria (risk mitigation, inclusiveness, transparency and societal relevance). However, it was the extraordinary commitment of Amos who was fully immersed during his Master Project and the efforts of Brouwer and Dam that brought together teaching and research which is integral to academic culture that made the project stand out. About the Mekel Prize The Mekel Prize will be awarded to the most socially responsible research project or extra-scientific activity (e.g. founding of an NGO or organization, an initiative or realization of an event or other impactful project) by an employee or group of employees of TU Delft – projects that showcase in an outstanding fashion that they have been committed from the beginning to relevant moral and societal values and have been aware of and tried to mitigate as much as possible in innovative ways the risks involved in their research. The award recognizes such efforts and wants to encourage the responsible development of science and technology at TU Delft in the future.
