Data sharing through a data intermediary
Exploring legal and technical mechanisms enabling low-risk business-to-government data sharing while complying with stakeholder rights and interests.
Research projects
To boost the ambition of the Responsible Digital Transformations, extra funding was made available to interdisciplinary UvA initiatives to work with non-academic partners on pressing societal questions. This has led to a number of small- and mid-scale projects. Seed grant projects give space to new, innovative, interdisciplinary initiatives. In Midsize projects, UvA researchers work closely with non-academic partners on concrete societal questions.

Sustainable privacy-enhanced data
In this project, we will explore the use of privacy-enhanced data to create a decision-making framework considering energy consumption/efficiency and privacy/information loss. -
Synthetic data for responsible digital transformation to reduce animal testing and enhance new medical treatment uptake: an application in acute ischemic stroke
The uptake of new medical treatments in clinical practice is sub-optimal, resource-heavy, and time-consuming. In-silico/computational modelling can be valuable to refine, reduce, and even partially replace ... -
HUE: bridging AI representations to Human-Understandable Explanations
When considering explanations for the behavior of an AI model, for example explanations of the kind “what did the model consider important when producing this output”, confirmation bias can lead us to believe a ... -
Understanding the Human in the Loop: Behavioural Insights to Develop Responsible AI Tools (HUMAINE)
This interdisciplinary project explores how human-in-the-loop (HITL) interventions can foster responsible designs of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. EU regulation requires private and public institutions to ...
Start-up projects 2022
The theme started with the moonshot project 'Towards an AI4Society Sandbox’. Sandboxing is a way to test (un)desired effects of new software by using it in a simulation of the safe production or user environment. This method is extended to develop future scenarios and probe technological and regulatory solutions discursively for their legal, societal and ethical implications. The project investigates how such a test environment should be designed to ensure AI-technologies for widest benefit of society.
