PhD Positions in Pioneering research on Human-Aligned Video AI
The DSC HAVA-Lab will be established through the Interdisciplinary PhD programme initiated by the UvA Data Science Centre. The mission of this first multidisciplinary laboratory is to define human-aligned video-AI, develop computable models, and examine the factors influencing its societal acceptance.
Opening in March 2024
The project will establish a laboratory that studies video-AI from a multidisciplinary perspective. This laboratory will be situated in the University Library Singel in Amsterdam (the main building of the University Library of the University of Amsterdam) as of March 2024. The research investigation team will consist of research investigators and PhD students from all 7 UvA faculties.
