This is a Demystifying the Smart City meet-up.

During this meet-up we will discuss the challenges and solutions to get a better understanding on the implications of AI/ML. We will dive into questions such as, to what extent can we let the user control AI? To what extent can a user understand what AI does? What role does design have in communicating these topics and how do we design for A.I.

His expertise in Python is extended as Ai Applied's web expert in Django facilitating access to Ai Applied's core technologies through API's.

Description:

How can we let end users better understand how AI functions? How can we improve the way end users influence / control AI? For example: Is it possible to ‘switch off’ the ai in certain instances and get away from our information bubble? How can users control the profiles that others create of us? These questions will be addressed in the projects that will be presented and discussed in the concluding panel discussion.
