SUMMARY:Human Rights & Artificial Intelligence in World Perspective
DESCRIPTION:China and America and world leaders in AI and technology investment\, plugging several billion euros every year. Similarly\, the United Nations pays a lot of attention to a worldwide responsible AI Strategy and here in Europe\, there is a commitment to a strategy based on a ‘human centric’ approach. The Netherlands is also attempting to place its own stamp on the use of AI through a sectoral approach and the formation of an AI research ecosystem. With the AINED initiative\, the Netherlands has already taken the first steps that are now being built upon. \nYet many questions remain; how can the opportunities offered by AI be used optimally worldwide to tackle social issues\, if at the same time outcomes of the cultural\, social and political impact of artificial technologies are still hotly contested? Is the answer at the national level\, should governments and corporates guarantee social norms\, values and human rights\, both in terms of policy and in the application of AI? Do we need to think differently about fundamental rights such as “equal treatment” in the Digital Age? What do cultural or interpretational differences in terms such as ‘transparency’ and ‘interpretability’ mean when AI makes decisions about the legislation that applies to citizens\, such as whether or not to grant benefits via an algorithm? Does the use of data lead to new forms of discrimination or may it exacerbate (unintentional) cultural and social inequalities? \nThese questions only scratch the surface\, we hope to address a whole range of diverse questions with you on 11 April. \nThe programme for the day:\n14.30: Registration \n15.00: Welcome by ECP + the Municipality of The Hague \n15.15: Speech Human Rights ambassador – Marriët Schuurman \n15.30: Speech Judith Alkema – Wageningen University & Research (she has carried out research on behalf of the UN) \n15.45: Speech Arjan El Fassed – Google \n16.00: Speech NGO \n16.15: Debate \n17.00: Drinks & Bites \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Crisis Mitigation and Predictive Analytics: Measuring Famine Risks
DESCRIPTION:Nadia Piffaretti\, a Senior Economist at the World Bank\, will be giving a talk on managing crises concerning famine risk! \nThe presentation will tackle a multitude of questions\, aiming to identify gaps\, opportunities\, and challenges related to the application of predictive models in humanitarian crises; consider legal and ethical issues associated with the collection and use of humanitarian data for predictive analytics purposes; explore how predictive models might be integrated into existing humanitarian decision-making processes; and explore collaboration models and areas where the Centre can help in terms of services like data curation\, peer review and model hosting. \nNadia works in the field of Financing Solutions\, Strategy and Analytics\, Fragility Conflict Violence and Forced Displacement. During this presentation Nadia will share how famine risks can be measured using predictive analytics. The talk will be in the Hub café and will be followed by a short Q&A session.

SUMMARY:NWO Matchmaking Meeting - Responsible Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Designing for public values in a digital world \nNew technological developments such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, Internet of Things\, Big Data\, and Blockchain can solve problems and help realise shared values and ideals. At the same time\, other public values are at stake\, such as privacy\, security\, and democracy. How can these values be taken into account in a transparent and responsible way in designing and implementing new systems\, applications\, models and protocols? What solutions are there for fundamental conflicts of values in the digital society? \nTo answer this question\, NWO (The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) opened a new research programme in unique collaboration with The Hague Municipal Council\, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations\, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, the Ministry of Defence\, and the Ministry of Justice and Security: ‘Responsible Innovation. Designing for public values in a digital world’. This research programme is part of the larger NWO-programme Responsible Innovation (MVI)\, in which research is carried out into the societal and ethical aspects of new technologies. \nApplications for funding relate to one of the following four innovative themes: \n• New digital technology in the modern rule of law \n• Privacy and human rights in new digital networks \n• Big Data science for a democratic public space \n• Complexity as a consequence of hyper-connectivity for public and private actors \nRoom for four new research projects\, in collaboration with private organisations  \nThe budget of this new programme is over three million euro. This means that four research project can start with a maximum budget of 750.000 euro. Private parties can join a project by (jointly) contributing at least 10% of the total costs of the project (in kind and/or in cash). By investing in the project\, companies and other parties have the opportunity to be the first to make use of the newest insights. To stimulate this\, all parties that are involved in one of the research projects are part of a valorisation committee\, where ideas can be exchanged on the progress of the research and the possibilities for valorisation. \nJoin the meeting on April 12  \nIn the morning of Friday April 12\, the parties who initiated the research programme as well as the researchers who are working on project proposals come together in The Hague. Is your company interested in the themes of the programme? We warmly invite you to join the meeting! This gives you the opportunity to learn how \nRegister by sending an e-mail to mvi@nwo.nl with the following information: \n1) Name\, organisation\, contact details and – if applicable – dietary restrictions. \n2) Which of the following four themes has your interest? (multiple options possible) \n• New digital technology in the modern rule of law \n• Privacy and human rights in new digital networks \n• Big Data science for a democratic public space \n• Complexity as a consequence of hyper-connectivity for public and private actors \nFor further questions\, please contact Sander Klaassen via s.klaasse@nwo.nl
