We’re happy to share that the project HUMAIN has been successfully funded under Horizon Europe. HUMAIN focuses on the ethical and human-centric adoption of Artificial Intelligence in mission-driven sectors that are vital to society: Culture, Education and Open Science. The project responds to the rapid uptake of AI—from generative tools in the creative industries to AI-supported teaching and scholarly publishing—and addresses the need for data-informed guidelines and regulatory frameworks that align AI innovation with public values and societal missions.
The User Centric Data Science group at VU will contribute to the project by analysing the use and impact of AI in the cultural heritage and creative sector, helping ensure that AI applications support inclusive, responsible, and human-centered practices.
