How does a living cell emerge from lifeless molecules?” wondered a multidisciplinary team of Dutch scientists. To answer these questions the research team, led by the TU Delft, aims to build a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules, using laboratory evolution and artificial intelligence for the first time. The ten-year research programme to do so, entitled “Evolving life from non-life” or simply “EVOLF”, was awarded 40 million euro by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the Summit grants scheme.

These tools promise efficiency and bias reduction but raise concerns about their validity, reliability and ethical implications. Research by Evgeni Aizenberg, Matthew J. Dennis and Jeroen van den Hoven sheds light on the assumptions underpinning AI hiring assessments.

Denk aan ChatGPT, geautomatiseerd rijden en diagnoses stellen in de zorg. Defensie gebruikt het ook, onder meer bij beeldverwerking en luchtverdedigingssystemen. Bij deze toepassingen is menselijk toezicht nodig. Luitenant-kolonel ir. Ilse Verdiesen onderzocht hoe dat vorm kan krijgen. Op 3 april promoveerde zij op dit onderwerp bij de TU Delft.

What will the impact of all these new techniques be on our lives? And how can we steer those techniques in the right direction? At InDetail, researcher Stefan Buijsman looks at all these questions, from the functioning of algorithms to their use in society. reading time: 7 min Algorithms: can you trust them or not? - TU Delft Story - Technology, Policy & Management “Algorithms do not discriminate inherently; the human factor is key – what data we put in, at what point we find an algorithm good enough, when we intervene, and how easy we make it to lodge objections to it.” Assistant professor Stefan Buijsman is exploring how we can use artificial intelligence responsibly. His attitude is positive: “I think that good interaction between AI and people can make our word fairer, cleaner, healthier, and safer.” More science stories Events Open menu 22 July 2024 09:00 till 26 July 2024 17:00 Summer School on The Ethics of Influence The Dutch Research School of Philosophy (OZSW) and TU Delft invite PhD candidates in philosophy to register for the Summer School The Ethics of Influence to take place on July 22– 26, 2024.
