Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has so many potential applications – in healthcare, banking, transport, entertainment and more. In this programme, you’ll learn not only about the technology behind AI, but also about its application in society. 

VU Amsterdam’s AI programme looks at real-world issues in society and applies technology to solve not just specific individual problems but whole classes of problems. If you’re interested in using technology to help people and change your world through the latest machine intelligence, join us.

VU Amsterdam’s Artificial Intelligence programme is unique in that we offer two separate tracks that specialise in the two different sides of Artificial Intelligence. Whether you choose the Intelligent Systems track or the Socially Aware Computing track, you’ll get a thorough understanding of how AI applies in our world. So that means not just delving into the code that powers machine learning, but also looking at the psychology behind the ways we use AI and the social impact of technological solutions.

VU Amsterdam’s research specialises in Humane AI or Hybrid AI: the premise being that the combination of human and machine intelligence is greater than the sum of its part. This is a truly interdisciplinary programme: information science meets social science.
