Artificial Intelligence is used more and more in society, from healthcare to government decisions and recruitment.
Along with the rapid increase of AI adoption come increased concerns about the inherent shortcomings of such
technologies (e.g., robustness) and the social, and ethical implications. To create AI systems that can properly serve humans,
it is crucial to put humans at the centre of the process such that the outcome system behaves in a way that fits the values and
needs of people. This poses new challenges both to philosophical work on values and to (responsible) technological development.
What (ethical) requirements should these systems adhere to? What does such ‘adherence’ mean and how can we demonstrate and
validate claims regarding adherence? How to build AI systems that can be understood by humans and that can align their behaviour
with human values? Tackling these challenges requires bridging the gap between philosophy and computer science within AI Ethics.
TU Delft has world-leading expertise in the operationalization of AI Ethics and now looks to strengthen this by hiring two three-year post-docs, one in philosophy and one in computer science, that will be closely collaborating on topics within AI Ethics of their choice.
