Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence

Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence is a comprehensive interdisciplinary program that explores the fundaments of Artificial Intelligence and its relation to the human brain. It covers topics from the realms of language, reasoning, learning, vision, and human-human and human-technology interaction. It also deals with ethical and moral aspects of AI. 

In the program, students learn how intelligent systems operate (like self-learning robots, and software that can take over or support human activities), and how this is related to the workings of the human brain. Can computers interpret human emotions in a reliable way? How much meaning can be derived from language? What is required to create a natural interaction between a human and a robot? Students develop skills in programming, computational modelling, Machine Learning and Deep learning, and carry out projects in research labs that are specifically equipped for AI and Robotics research.
