AI and Mental Health Series

27 & 29 March 2023 | online
CLAIRE | Brussels

The relationship between AI and mental health is reciprocal and can be a double-edged sword: AI is now increasingly being used as a tool to help mental health researchers and clinicians in understanding how our brain functions. The use of neuroscience-inspired AI holds great promise in discovering new regimes for treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. At the same, we also often encounter real world cases depicting how AI can affect our mental well-being, such as the case of addictive algorithms and how recommender systems can manipulate behaviors.

In this two-part online events, we will explore these two sides of the coin:

Webinar: AI as a tool for Mental Health

On March 27 at 4PM CET, we will dedicate 1.5 hours on discovering how AI transforms our understanding of brain functions and how it helps in psychiatric practices e.g. diagnosis, treatment, prevention. We will be joined by neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and AI developers to bring use cases and future applications.

All-Questions-Asked (AQuA event): Impact of AI on our Mental Well-being

On March 29 at 10AM, we open the floor for you to ask our multidisciplinary panel of experts about the link of online algorithms and recommender systems to our mental well-being, especially in this day and age where we interact with AI more often, unconsciously. In this AQuA forum, we will tackle the ways by which algorithms (in social media and other platforms) impacts us, our behaviors, our way of thinking, and some mental disorders associated with these everyday technologies.

Sustainability & Robotics Series – Webinar 1: Getting Started! 

7 March 2023 | 15:00 CET | online
CLAIRE | Brussels

Robotics and AI hold great promise to help solve the challenges related to sustainability, while there is at the same time the possibility that they outbalance the positive impact they aim to achieve. It is up to the AI and Robotics community to shape their role on how to help address sustainability and strive for a positive impact only.

This first webinar focuses on

• How AI and Robotics can help to address the challenges of sustainability.
• Why the AI and Robotics community should consider sustainability as an integrated part of their work.
• What the challenges are for academia and industry in AI and Robotics to balance the positive and negative contributions towards sustainability.

Let’s get started!

Digital Breakfast
“Responsible AI: From Ethical Principles to Organisational Processes”
with Ricardo Chavarriaga

07.00 – ca. 08.30 am @ Technopark Winterthur organized by Digital Hub Winterthur
15 September 2022

The future legal framework for Artificial Intelligence systems will require companies to certify that the systems they develop meet the requirements of transparency, fairness, reliability and security. Bridging the gap between ethical principles and organisational processes that make this possible is not easy. Ricardo Chavarriaga reports on this challenge at the Digital Breakfast and presents examples of applied research to support AI certification.
