Humane AI or Human-Centered AI has many meanings for many people, and it’s a bit unclear at the moment. For me it means that we kind of gain back the let’s say emphasis on mechanisation and on basically treating people like machines. For me Human-Centered AI has to do with meaning and values in our […]

More and more we are involved in applications that are involved or have a social side. We have been working on AI for education and healthcare. We strongly believe that artificial intelligence needs to interact with humans, needs to be integrated in mixed societies with humans and other kinds of machines, so the Humane dimension […]

The issue of artificial intelligence and humanity can be answered in several ways. One possible view is that Humane AI is kind of a European view to AI versus let’s say American, Chinese, or Russian and so on, which maybe have other focal points, and Humane AI would be closer to a human, so human-centric […]

We are in a situation now where AI is becoming way more powerful, and as it gets more powerful, we need to think about what is the impact on human beings. I am really interested in the problem of how do you combine human beings and artificial intelligence, and the problem that we often have […]

AI can do a lot for good and I see a coevolution between humans and technology, and if you think about technology as just being there to make us more comfortable and do all the work for us, then I am afraid that the coevolution of humankind will go into the direction that is basically […]

I think the project is really targeting the mind set of current times. AI is coming from everywhere and mostly its rising in China and US and I think we really need in Europe initiatives like this project to have an answer to that and to foster responsible AI, because we do not know if […]

Europe has a very important role in pushing the human aspect into artificial intelligence, because we are on one side competing with US and China we have a completely different view of what AI is and different start. In Europa we are by culture working on AI with very strong human drive and this is […]

If you look at where money comes from, what drives AI. In America AI is for profit. Google, Amazon, Apple, all these companies are looking to make money. This has led to some perverse effects of the technology taking over from people. If you look in China, right now where the real innovation is, China […]

The idea of a human approach to AI seems to be at the center of gravity in Europe. It’s an interesting idea and the room supports it, but there is also this question of who is involved, policy makers, researchers, politicians. We will probably want to look at the choices we have. AI for cyber […]

like very much this idea of the Humane AI project because I think technology is never on its own, and especially this is not the case for AI technology, so its always happening in interaction with humans. Within Humane AI we are trying to see how we can study what is happening when people […]

Humane AI is about people and AI, about developing AI systems in a way that they are fundamentally inserted in our societies in a way that it understands and respects our values and works with us for augmenting capacities to making our life’s better and to make society a better place for all. My bluesky […]

In AI people are understandably pretty concerned about the fact that there might be adverse effects to their jobs, lives, they don’t really understand the technology very well, but they see that it brings big changes. People want to be reassured, and to be honest, I want to be reassured too, that AI is going […]
