Podcast SURF Sounds: Responsible AI in onderwijs en onderzoek

Influential experts, professors and tech bosses recently warned about the rapid rise of AI and even called for a temporary development freeze. Is a development freeze also applicable in our sector? What risks and challenges do we see in education and research in continuing to develop and use AI? And how can education and research institutions ensure responsible use of AI?

We discuss it with Peter-Paul Verbeek, rector magnificus of the University of Amsterdam, and Duuk Baten, advisor responsible AI at SURF.
