What exciting news! The Queen visited our partner the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences on October 5th. It seemed that besides the spectacle of having the queen on your doorstep, she was well-informed about the latest AI developments and asked pointed questions on different AI-related topics. 
 
 
 
She was shown around by Executive Board members Geleyn Meijer, Jopie Nooren and Responsible IT lecturer Nanda Piersma.

Queen Máxima discussed this with lecturers, researchers and students at the Center of Applied AI at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. The queen also spoke about the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence with key figures from government, healthcare and education.
