AI for Good at Felix Meritis

Yesterday evening I was a guest next to Dasha Simons (IBM) and Oumaima Hajri (Hogeschool Rotterdam) in Felix Meritis at the invitation of Laurens Vreekamp to talk about — among other things — fair AI, ethics, and algorithmic bias.

It was nice and important to be able to discuss these topics from an optimistic and pragmatic perspective, because algorithms — when designed thoughtfully — offer so much more than scary filter bubbles or addictive “social dilemmas.”
