HAVA-Lab investigating responsible video-AI

The Human-Aligned Video AI Laboratory (HAVA)-Lab is an interdisciplinary PhD-programme of the UvA Data Science Centre and aims to align video-AI technologies with human values and ethical principles. Researchers will explore both technological and societal challenges, addressing issues like bias-free crime detection and enhanced efficiency in dental training.

The HAVA-Lab started in June 2024 en is officially opened on 16 October by Peter-Paul Verbeek, rector magnificus of the University of Amsterdam. This is the Data Science Centre's first multidisciplinary laboratory, and is hosting seven PhD positions across all seven UvA faculties.
