TU Delft AI Lunch – Inclusive AI: Caring with and for AI

Mondai | House of AI is happy to host the new edition of the TU Delft AI Lunch: Inclusive AI: Caring with and for AI

What does it mean to realize care as a design requirement in the deployment of robots, and more generally in human-machine interactions? And more broadly, what is required to propel a care-based vision within the design of AI systems? Care can be understood as an ethical framework for responsible technology development, as well as for engineering education. In practice, it translates to embracing the principles of interrelation, co-dependence, diversity, and inclusion – combining social, technological, and institutional levels of AI development. But how exactly does this translate into engineering and design practice?

Join us for an interactive discussion to explore what it means to care with, and for, AI, and to kick-off the new series on Inclusive AI!

This event includes free lunch for which registration is required (help us reduce food waste!)

Programme

12.00 – 12.30 Walk-in and Lunch
12.30 – 13.30 Panel Discussion on Inclusive AI with Olya Kudina (TPM), Nazli Cila (IDE), Laura Marchal-Crespo (ME), and Sara Colombo (IDE)

 

Panellists

Olya Kudina
Assistant Professor of Ethics & Philosophy of Technology (Faculty of TPM)
Olya is an interdisciplinary researcher in philosophy/ethics of technology who explores the relation between human values and technologies. Her recent focus has been on AI and democracy in the framework of the AI DeMoS Lab that she founded and co-leads. To anticipate the ethical challenges and opportunities of technologies, Olya thinks it is essential to combine different academic practices and fields.
Nazli Cila
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering
Nazli is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Human-Centered Design, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. Her work combines interaction design with humanities, integrating empirical work (i.e., experimentation, future modelling, and prototyping) with practical and ethical issues surrounding collaborations with agents. Nazli is co-director of the AI DeMoS Lab.
Laura Marchal-Crespo
Associate Professor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Laura is an Associate Professor at the Department of Cognitive Robotics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. She is also affiliated with the ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research, University of Bern. Laura carries out research in the general areas of human-machine interfaces and biological learning, and, specifically, in the use of robotic assistance and virtual reality to aid people in learning motor tasks and rehabilitate after neurologic injuries.
Sara Colombo
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering
Sara’s research explores innovative approaches for the ethical design of AI applications and the critical examination of their societal impact. Her work involves engaging communities in envisioning AI futures with an emphasis on inclusivity and a participatory approach.
