Professor Andy Pimentel from the University of Amsterdam is developing computer systems that are not only faster but also more sustainable. As AI and data processing expand, this work becomes increasingly critical.

The National AI Benchmark is designed to quickly provide companies with insights into their AI maturity. By completing a survey, businesses gain access to a detailed report offering practical recommendations and comparisons with other organizations. This project is in collaboration with the Amsterdam Centre for Business Innovation (ACBI) and is supported by prominent AI researchers such as Prof. Henk Volberda, Dr. Michiel Tempelaar, and Dr. Rick Hollen. The benchmark offers tangible steps to improve your AI strategy, identify new applications, and strengthen your competitive edge.   Take the survey here .

As of September 1st, the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) has officially become a collaboration between 18 Dutch knowledge institutions. With the signing of the agreement by these institutions, a nationwide ecosystem of knowledge institutions is now involved, enhancing the governance of the ICAI network.

On September 5, 2024, Max Welling and Chad Edwards, founders of CuspAI, presented their innovative company during the IvI coffee & cake gathering. 

A consortium of leading Dutch research institutions and government agencies, including TU Delft, the University of Amsterdam, TNO, and the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, has launched an ambitious project aimed at developing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) for surveillance robots. Officially initiated on September 4, the OpenBots consortium focuses on creating AI systems designed to assist human security officers in various security settings.

With the award of an AiNed Fellowship grant, Dr. Charlotte Frenkel from TU Delft delves into neuromorphic computing, pioneering research aimed at creating energy-efficient and powerful AI systems inspired by the human brain. This research bridges AI and neuroscience to develop faster, more energy-efficient, and smarter computing systems.

In an essay published by Nanda Piersma, Scientific Director of the Centre of Expertise Applied Artificial Intelligence at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, she discusses the importance of humans as principals in the development of AI systems. Piersma takes a critical look at the current hype surrounding AI and advocates for a more responsible and practical approach to technological innovation.
