<p>The research group in Responsible AI is led by prof. dr. Virginia
Dignum and was established to study the ethical and societal
impact of AI, through the development of tools and methodologies
design, monitor, and develop trustworthy AI systems and
applications. <br>
Our research is not only about the development of intelligent
systems, but also in understanding the effects of their deployment
on our societies. We are working to ensure the ethical application
of Artificial Intelligence (AI), both through public engagement
and frequent interaction with policymakers,<br>
and by facilitating the engineering of Responsible AI. Our
multidisciplinary research programme aims to help all relevant
actors to have access to the means and tools to develop, deploy,
operate, and govern systems, while taking any ethical, legal, and
socio-economical implications into consideration.<br>
