RESEARCH TRACK

Valuable and Responsible AI Systems

 

In the Summit research track, EAISI researchers and partners will present their latest findings, specifically around the theme of the real power of AI. In the midst of AI developments that lead to doubts or even fear, we put some necessary focus on the positive influence AI has and will have on our lives and the real world around us. Please join the discussions and get to know in detail what is happening in the center of Brainport’s AI research.

 

At EAISI 900+ AI-researchers do research on AI systems where the physical, digital, and human worlds come together. EAISI aims to get to a better understanding, better designs, better models, and better decisions in the application areas of Health, Mobility, and High-Tech Systems.
