AI – artificiell intelligence
Today, artificial intelligence is being used in an increasing number of societal sectors, which will have a profound impact on our daily lives. Specialised computer systems are being introduced in medicine, education, finance, and transportation. How can we take advantage of the rapid development of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and how do we prevent the risks?
Answering these questions requires knowledge of both technology and society. AI research at Uppsala University covers technology, law, philosophy and linguistics, as well as the workplace, politics, and health.
