Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology which is increasingly being utilised in society and the economy worldwide, but there is much disquiet over problematic and dangerous implementations of AI, or indeed even AI itself deciding to do dangerous and problematic actions. These developments have led to concerns about whether and how AI systems currently adhere to and will adhere to ethical standards, stimulating a global and multistakeholder conversation on AI ethics and the production of AI governance initiatives. Such developments form the basis for this chapter, where we give an insight into what is happening in Australia, China, the European Union, India and the United States. We commence with some background to the AI ethics and regulation debates, before proceedings to give an overview of what is happening in different countries and regions, namely Australia, China, the European Union (including national level activities in Germany), India and the United States. We provide an analysis of these country profiles, with particular emphasis on the relationship between ethics and law in each location. Overall we find that AI governance and ethics initiatives are most developed in China and the European Union, but the United States has been catching up in the last eighteen months.

Dit artikel legt het belang uit van goede uitleg van kunstmatige intelligentie. Rechten van individuen zullen door ontwerpers van systemen van te voren moeten worden ingebouwd. AI wordt beschouwd als een 'sleuteltechnologie' die de wereld net zo ingrijpend gaat veranderen als de industriele revolutie. Binnen de stroming XAI wordt onderzoek gedaan naar interpretatie van werking van AI.

In this short article the author reflects on AI’s role in education by posing three questions about its application: choosing a partner, grading assignments, and replacing teachers. These questions prompt discussions on AI’s objectivity versus human emotional depth and creativity. The author argues that AI won’t replace teachers but will enhance those who embrace its potential while understanding its limits. True education, the author asserts, is about inspiring renewal and creativity, not merely transmitting knowledge, and cautions against letting AI define humanity’s future.

As the Dutch population is aging, the field of music-in-healthcare keeps expanding. Healthcare, institutionally and at home, is multiprofessional and demands interprofessional collaboration. Musicians are sought-after collaborators in social and healthcare fields, yet lesser-known agents of this multiprofessional group. Although live music supports social-emotional wellbeing and vitality, and nurtures compassionate care delivery, interprofessional collaboration between musicians, social work, and healthcare professionals remains marginal. This limits optimising and integrating music-making in the care. A significant part of this problem is a lack of collaborative transdisciplinary education for music, social, and healthcare students that deep-dives into the development of interprofessional skills. To meet the growing demand for musical collaborations by particularly elderly care organisations, and to innovate musical contributions to the quality of social and healthcare in Northern Netherlands, a transdisciplinary education for music, physiotherapy, and social work studies is needed. This project aims to equip multiprofessional student groups of Hanze with interprofessional skills through co-creative transdisciplinary learning aimed at innovating and improving musical collaborative approaches for working with vulnerable, often older people. The education builds upon experiential learning in Learning LABs, and collaborative project work in real-life care settings, supported by transdisciplinary community forming.The expected outcomes include a new concept of a transdisciplinary education for HBO-curricula, concrete building blocks for a transdisciplinary arts-in-health minor study, innovative student-led approaches for supporting the care and wellbeing of (older) vulnerable people, enhanced integration of musicians in interprofessional care teams, and new interprofessional structures for educational collaboration between music, social work and healthcare faculties.
MUSE supports the CIVITAS Community to increase its impact on urban mobility policy making and advance it to a higher level of knowledge, exchange, and sustainability.As the current Coordination and Support Action for the CIVITAS Initiative, MUSE primarily engages in support activities to boost the impact of CIVITAS Community activities on sustainable urban mobility policy. Its main objectives are to:- Act as a destination for knowledge developed by the CIVITAS Community over the past twenty years.- Expand and strengthen relationships between cities and stakeholders at all levels.- Support the enrichment of the wider urban mobility community by providing learning opportunities.Through these goals, the CIVITAS Initiative strives to support the mobility and transport goals of the European Commission, and in turn those in the European Green Deal.Breda University of Applied Sciences is the task leader of Task 7.3: Exploitation of the Mobility Educational Network and Task 7.4: Mobility Powered by Youth Facilitation.
Mensen die moeite hebben met lezen en schrijven (laaggeletterden) zijn ondervertegenwoordigd in onderzoek, waardoor een belangrijke onderzoekspopulatie ontbreekt. Dit is een probleem, omdat zorgbeleid dan onvoldoende op hun behoeften wordt aangepast. Laaggeletterden hebben vaak een lage sociaal economische positie (SEP). Mensen met een lage SEP leven gemiddeld 4 jaar korter en 15 jaar in minder goed ervaren gezondheid vergeleken met mensen met een hoge SEP. Om laaggeletterden te betrekken in onderzoek, is het o.a. nodig om onderzoek toegankelijker te maken. Dit project draagt hieraan bij door de ontwikkeling van een toolbox voor toegankelijke (proefpersonen)informatie (pif) en toestemmingsverklaringen. We ontwikkelen in co-creatie met de doelgroep toegankelijke audiovisuele materialen die breed ingezet kunnen worden door (gezondheids)onderzoekers van (zorggerelateerde) instanties/bedrijven én kennisinstellingen voor de werving voor en informatieverstrekking over onderzoek. In de multidisciplinaire samenwerking met onze partners YURR.studio, Pharos, Stichting ABC, Stichting Crowdience, de HAN-Sterkplaats en de Academische Werkplaats Sterker op eigen benen (AW-SOEB) van Radboudumc stellen we de behoeften van de doelgroep centraal. Middels creatieve sessies en gebruikerservaringen wordt in een iteratief ontwerpende onderzoeksaanpak toegewerkt naar diverse ontwerpen van informatiebrieven en toestemmingsverklaringen, waarbij de visuele communicatie dragend is. Het ontwikkelproces biedt kennisontwikkeling en hands-on praktijkvoorbeelden voor designers en grafisch vormgevers in het toegankelijk maken van informatie. Als laaggeletterden beter bereikt worden d.m.v. de pif-toolbox, kunnen de inzichten van deze groep worden meegenomen. Dit zorgt voor een minder scheef beeld in onderzoek, waardoor (gezondheids)beleid zich beter kan richten op kwetsbare doelgroepen. Hiermee wordt een bijdrage geleverd aan het verkleinen van gezondheidsverschillen.
