Note: this is a save-the-date event; once more information is known, we will open the subscriptions. This is expected to occur around the start of the new academic year.
In the project Virtuous reasoning with AI, our team, consisting of Vlasta Sikimić (PI), Yara Daamen, Karolina Doulougeri and Krist Vaesen, is launching an educational intervention designed to shape the next generation of virtuously minded engineers. At a time when AI systems influence decisions at every level of society, education faces a defining challenge: teaching students not just to use AI, but to question it. In the new course, Critical thinking in the age of AI, students will engage with intellectual justice to confront algorithmic bias and intellectual honesty to tackle transparency and accountability in AI systems. Through carefully designed learning activities, the project cultivates higher-order thinking about responsible AI use, enabling students to critically examine, ethically design, and challenge intelligent technologies. Our initiative directly supports TU/e’s values by educating engineers who build new systems wisely.
Vlasta Sikimić and Yara Daamen will present their findings and insights during this hybrid on- and offline session which includes free lunch for those who join in person.
