Please join and bring together the most important voices to realize responsible AI for health care! \n\n\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) continues to impact society in various and profound ways. It is inevitable that health care will face significant changes through the introduction of AI systems that are intended to support the health care system with diagnosis\, treatment decision-making\, hospital management\, medical research and development\, nursing care\, and the health infrastructure (homecare\, insurance etc.) more broadly. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Hosted by\n \n Convergence Center\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Date\n Wednesday 11 – Thursday 12 September 2025\n \n \n\n \n \n Type\n Conference\n \n \n\n \n \n Location\n Hilton Rotterdam\, Weena 10\, 3012 CM Rotterdam\n \n \n\n \n \n Speakers\n \n Prof. Brent Mittelstadt – University of Oxford\n Jan-Willem Scheijgrond – Philips / COCIR\n Prof. Tamar Sharon – Radboud University Nijmegen\n Prof. Dr. Peter van der Spek – Erasmus MC\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Purpose \n\n\n\nThe conference ‘Responsible AI in Health Care’ will clearly map how the introduction of AI in medicine unfolds\, which aspects of the health care systems will be impacted most\, and how this impact will unfold. First and foremost\, it intends to discuss in depth\, the question  how to shape this transition in a responsible way. \n\n\n\nAs the WHO calls for “safe and ethical medical AI” \, academics and practitioners are pressed to address the question\, which of the ongoing and future developments in medical AI are desirable or could be desirable under the right conditions. Prominent voices have suggested that the introduction of medical AI can “make medicine human again” (Topol 2019). Warnings\, however\, that the introduction of medical AI systems undermines the integrity of the patient-doctor relationship\, that it threatens responsibility attribution in that system\, that it reproduces existing social biases and inequalities (eg in diagnostic processes)\, that it disorients medical research and makes health care more inefficient\, have equally been issued. \n\n\n\nWhat would it mean to make AI practices and products responsible? What values ​​would need to be implemented in the design of those technologies and how can this be done? What ways can we discover to ensure that health care stays responsible after the introduction of AI? These and other questions will be discussed in depth during this international conference. \n\n\n\nWho is the conference for ? \n\n\n\nThe conference brings together medical specialists\, academics\, R&D teams\, designers\, start-ups and scale-ups to discuss state-of-the-art knowledge on responsible innovation\, ethics and regulation. You can connect to inspiring opinion leaders\, scientific experts and industry leaders on the development of AI for health care\, you can meet peers and connect to the Research and Innovation ecosystem. This collaboration across disciplines and practices is the most promising avenue to optimal usage of AI in health care practice. All considerations\, opinions\, research approaches or project plans around responsible use of AI in healthcare are welcome in our debates\, panels\, keynotes\, multidisciplinary roundtable discussions and start-up pitches. \n\n\n\nThis first event brings together international representatives of academia\, business and industry focusing on developing AI responsibly\, either from medical\, ethical\, social science\, design\, legal and data science perspectives. \n\n\n\nMain Topics \n\n\n\n\n Collection and sharing of healthcare data for AI (data projects)\n The (value-sensitive) development of AI systems and their fit with work floor demands\n Interactions between AI\, healthcare professionals\, and/or patients\n Implementation and operationalization of AI systems\nEvaluation and accountability of (socio-technical systems including) AI in healthcare\nGovernance and regulation for AI in healthcare URL:https://ecda.eur.nl/en/event/responsible-ai-in-healthcare-conference/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ecda.eur.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/beeld-Responsible-AI-in-Health-Care@2x.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20250915T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20250915T190000 DTSTAMP:20260419T150534 CREATED:20250716T180918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251103T125856Z UID:22686-1757952000-1757962800@ecda.eur.nl SUMMARY:Executive Expertsessie – Reimagining your business - Data & AI in de bestuurskamer DESCRIPTION:De belangrijkste inzichten uit de sessies Reimagining Your Business: Data & AI in de bestuurskamer van 15 september\, hebben wij overzichtelijk voor je samengevat.

AI gaat elke sector raken en ingrijpend transformeren. Deze technologie raakt niet alleen processen en verdienmodellen\, maar herschrijft de spelregels van samenwerking\, vertrouwen en menselijke arbeid.  \n\n\n\nHet vraagt om leiders met visie – leiders die verder kijken dan de hype en begrijpen dat AI slechts het zichtbare deel is van een veel grotere transformatie. Deze leiders erkennen dat de kwaliteit van data\, de staat van digitale infrastructuren\, en het vermogen tot ecosysteem-samenwerking bepalend zijn voor succes of falen.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBent u klaar voor wat komen gaat?  \n\n\n\nDe vraag is niet óf deze transformatie uw sector raakt\, maar wanneer en hoe. Tijdens deze exclusieve bijeenkomst brengen we visionaire leiders\, topwetenschappers en ervaringsdeskundigen samen om deze complexe vraagstukken te doorgronden én duurzame waarde te creëren. Aan de hand van sprekende voorbeelden in uiteenlopende sectoren slaan we met verbeeldingskracht bruggen: tussen techniek en bestuur\, tussen data\, AI en besluitvorming. Samen herdefiniëren we wat het betekent om relevant te blijven in een tijdperk van disruptie.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWat kunt u verwachten van de bijeenkomst?  \n\n\n\n\n Actuele marktinzichten over de status en impact van de AI-revolutie \n Inspirerende visies op de rol van data\, digitale infrastructuren en emerging tech \n Concrete voorbeelden van datagedreven innovatie in uiteenlopende sectoren\n Een panelgesprek met toonaangevende bestuurders over de dilemma’s in de bestuurskamer \nMeer informatie over het Leiderschapsprogramma Innovatie & Transformatie met Data en AI \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgramma \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n 15:45 – 16:00 | Inloop\n \n\n \n 16:00 – 16:05 | Welkom\n \n Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen\, Commissaris Siemens Nederland en MN\, Voorzitter Raad van Advies SER Topvrouwen\,\n Voormalig Bestuursvoorzitter Aon\n \n \n \n\n \n 16:05 – 16:15 | Welkom namens Erasmus Centre for Data Analytics\n \n Dr. Marcel van Oosterhout\, Executive Director\, ECDA\n \n \n \n\n \n 16:15 – 16:30 | Van deepfake naar deep make; de dilemma’s van het integreren van AI in werk\n \n Dr. Fons Trompenaars\, thought leader en bestsellerauteur\n oprichter en directeur van het intercultureel managementadviesbureau Trompenaars Hampden-Turner\n \n \n \n\n 16:30 – 17:00 | Panelgesprek: Dilemma’s in de bestuurskamer\n Moderatie: Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen\n Daniel Gebler\, Founder and CTO\, Picnic Technologies\n Annemarie Peijnenborgh\, Head of Business Intelligence & Data\, JBT Marel\n Dr. Robert Rooderkerk\, Associate Professor\, Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus University\n Dénelise L’Ecluse\, MD\, BSI Europe; Voorzitter AI4ALL\n \n \n\n 17:00 – 17:15 | Korte break\n \n\n\n 17:15 – 17:30 | \n AI Factories als katalysator voor wendbare digitale transformatie: Hoe leid je organisaties in het tijdperk van schaalbare\, energie-efficiënte AI?\n Koen van den Berg\, AI Factory Lead EMEA\, NVIDIA\n\n \n \n 17:30 – 17:45 | Empowering humans with hybrid intelligence – over de (on)mogelijkheden van data science en AI\n \n Dr. Cynthia Liem\, Associate Professor\, TU Delft\n \n \n \n\n \n 17:45 – 18:00 | Datacentrisme als bron van transformatie\n \n Dr. Ken van Ierlant\, CEO Mr. Data\, auteur van het boek Datawaarde creatie\n \n \n \n\n\n \n 18:00 – 18:15 | Afsluiting\n Caroline Holtgrefe – leiderschapscommunity & aanmelding\n Slotwoord: Marguerite Soeteman-Reijnen\n \n \n\n 18:15 – 19:00 | Netwerkborrel\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nVoor wie? \n\n\n\nDeze bijeenkomst is bedoeld voor top executives\, bestuurders\, commissarissen en digitale transformatie leiders die vooruit willen kijken\, voorbij de hype\, en actief willen bijdragen aan de transformatie van hun organisatie en sector.  \n\n\n\nDeze bijeenkomst wordt u aangeboden door het Erasmus Center voor Data Analytics (ECDA).

But one thing is clear: ‘resilience’ is no longer an abstract concept. It is something we must better understand and grasp\, but above all\, something we must put into practice. \n\n\n\n\nDuring the Future Society Lab meetup on March 19\, we will explore what societal resilience and robustness mean in an era where technology is accelerating\, uncertainty is becoming structural\, and our choices are increasingly made under pressure. \n\n\n\n\nWe’re keeping the exact details of what we’re going to do to ourselves for a moment. What we can say: this will be an afternoon that will change the way you look at technology\, systems\, and your own role under pressure. \n\n\n\nP.S.

Krantenkoppen speculeren over beroepen die verdwijnen en jongeren vragen zich af of hun studie wel toekomst heeft.

This year’s programme will be dedicated to three key themes in the field of digitalisation: Education\, Work and Automation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Date and Time\n Friday 24 April 2026\, 9:00 – 17:00\n \n \n\n \n \n Location\n Forumzaal (M3-15)\, Van der Goot Building\, Campus Woudestein\, Erasmus University Rotterdam\n \n \n\n \n \n Event type\n \nConference\, no admission fee\, in English\, pre-registration mandatory\n\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe conference is not limited to members of SSH-Breed\, but open to all who are interested. There is no admission fee\, but preregistration is mandatory. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nBrochure-SSH-Breed-conference-page2\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEducation \n\n\n\nDigitalisation is changing how people learn in schools\, universities and beyond. New tools\, such as adaptive learning platforms\, help to widen access to education and improve the learning experience. At the same time\, questions arise about whether digitalisation generates a new divide of education\, how data are collected and used\, and how AI-enabled tools might reinforce existing biases.  \n\n\n\nDigital technologies are also reshaping the interaction in the classroom and the assessment of academic performance in ways that we do not yet fully understand. It is therefore important to discuss how digital literacy can be implemented and strengthened in our society. This panel looks at how education systems can make good use of digital technologies while still protecting equity\, inclusion and educational quality. \n\n\n\nWork \n\n\n\nDigitalisation is reshaping how work is organised in our society. New technologies empower individuals with more flexibility in their working lives\, enabling them to work from various locations and taking part in platform-based work. However\, new technologies and recent development also bring risks. For instance\, algorithmic management systems can increase efficiency\, but they also raise concerns about surveillance\, fairness\, and privacy at work. This panel delves into how employers\, workers\, and policy makers can respond to these changes and support sustainable and fair working conditions. \n\n\n\nAutomation \n\n\n\nAutomation can take over dangerous\, repetitive\, or complex tasks and free people to focus on other kinds of work. It can also improve accuracy\, reduce accidents\, and increase productivity in many sectors\, from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and public services. Meanwhile\, automation raises challenging questions\, ranging from human autonomy to accountability. Automation makes some jobs disappear\, while the arising benefits of automation are not always fairly allocated. This panel explores how automation can be used in ways that benefit society\, while also addressing its disruptive effects and the need for clear rules and public oversight. \n\n\n\nResponsible Digitalisation with sleeves rolled up \n\n\n\nIn April\, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Erasmus University Rotterdam are joining forces around the theme of responsible digitalisation: digital technology that contributes to societal value\, inclusivity\, and broad prosperity.
