Program Description
Why study Socially Aware Computing at VU Amsterdam?
Artificial Intelligence is widely adopted in our society: think of face recognition in your smartphone, decision support for medical doctors, or smart homes for assisted living. At VU Amsterdam you can study AI technology from a societal perspective: how can we develop and evaluate computer-based technology that exploits knowledge about human functioning. There are two specializations: one focusing on how to interpret, support and adapt to human behaviour, another specializion focusing on understanding cognitive
aspects of AI. The specializations are oriented towards the practical application of AI technology in a broad, problem-oriented setting. You’ll learn how to model both mental and physiological processes of human functioning. Such models are the basis of intelligent applications that support humans in their daily lives in a dedicated manner, also to enable that support systems to understand humans better.
SPECIALIZATION SOCIALLY AWARE COMPUTING
In this specialization, you will learn how AI techniques are developed and how they are relevant in social context.
SPECIALIZATION COGNITIVE SCIENCE
Immerse yourself in the multidisciplinary study of mind and cognition.
