MA/MS in Artificial Intelligence

This Artificial Intelligence Master's programme centres on hybrid intelligence, where AI systems and humans work together, reflecting how AI already appears throughout society, from cars that detect pedestrians to the virtual assistants built into phones, interpreting information from varied sources to produce intelligent, goal-directed behaviour. The first year consists of broad courses covering core topics in AI, whereas the second year is set aside for a chosen specialisation; applications studied range from optimising internet search to supporting elderly people living with dementia, and students learn to break down, build and put into practice new AI methods, producing solutions suited to their social context. A Cognitive Science track is offered together with the Psychology department, and an AI for Health track together with Medical Informatics at the UvA and Amsterdam UMC.
