Five hot topics surrounding artificial intelligence in questions and answers Artificial intelligence is an important area of research at TU/e.

UT professor Mariëlle Stoelinga has been awarded the Test of Time Award at the International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR), a highly regarded worldwide scientific meeting in the field of theoretical computing.

Care robots, medical treatments, deepfakes and self-driving cars all with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI).

Part of being smart is knowing where your limitations lie. Learning AI systems have long been bad at this.

In order to improve the ethical and legal compliance of automated decision systems, it is crucial to inspect the full life cycle of the data being used: from the moment the data are being collected to the moment the data are fed into a machine learning system.

CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium and SPHINCS+, three security algorithms created by researchers from Radboud University and other organisations have been selected by the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as one the new standards for post-quantum cryptography.

The Dutch Research Council has awarded 101 experienced researchers a Vidi grant worth 800,000 euros. The grant enables them to develop their own innovative line of research and set up their own research group in the coming five years. TU Delft's Vidi laureates: Dr. Katerina Stanková (TPM) This research investigates novel game theoretic models and combines these with data science and control theory to improve standard of care in cancer treatment.

The arrival of quantum computers will have major societal consequences, especially in the field of cybersecurity.

In de meest recente financieringsronde van het PDI-SSH zijn de projecten van UvA-geesteswetenschappers Henkjan Honing en Sanneke Stigter gehonoreerd.

The inaugural Data Science Day showcased the data-driven research taking place at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

Last week a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the six partners of the Quantum Application Lab, of which the University of Amsterdam.

Is it possible to identify accounting fraud from the published financial statements of quoted companies? Indranil Bhattacharya, a PhD candidate at the Amsterdam Business School (ABS) thinks it is.

The use of AI models can help legal practitioners understand complex legal texts. Julien Rossi, Amsterdam Business School researcher, is trying to find out how such a solution might work.

Dr Ilker Birbil is taking up a position as Professor of Artificial Intelligence & Optimisation Techniques for Business and Society at UvA's Amsterdam Business School starting 1 May.

Recent study by Dr Kristina Irion joins up three EU policy areas that intersect in the digital age: consumer protection, EU governance of AI and EU external trade.

The complexity of the systems produced by the high-tech industry is increasing. This is partly due to the expanding digitalisation of these systems.

Digital systems are becoming ever smarter and able to self-learn. This can be great for end users, who will receive much better services.

Virtual assistants, which use speech recognition to carry out a growing number of tasks, are becoming increasingly popular. We still do not know much about how families with young children are using this new type of smart software, and UvA communication scientists are now set to study this in greater depth.
