Does AI need a body? Debate at the VU, 9 Dec
Most
applications of AI do not have a face or a body and it is mostly
a “hidden” system that is difficult to relate to for people. In
this debate, we discussed whether AI needs a body. Are there any
benefits, what are the differences with virtual AI, how difficult
is it and how can we make progress in science and technology
development? See here for
detail.

Re-organising HI
Since our
start in 2020, the consortium has been growing with new people
willing to invest their time in exploring Hybrid Intelligence.
Why re-organise? With the launch of our 2nd cohort of PhD/PD
positions we aim to create space for ideas, leadership and career
development for researchers who weren't necessarily involved in
the initial proposal.
