deus inceptum
The DEUS initiative
“Artificial Intelligence is changing the world more than anything in the history of humankind. More than electricity.”
AI is on the radar of nearly every organisation and government, and it is prominently featured in news and literature. There is great excitement over the benefits of AI applications, but there is also a lot of noise, and this can make it difficult to separate real potential from hype. How can we distinguish reality from speculative science fiction?
At the DEUS initiative, we challenge ourselves to explore and build AI services to create a positive impact on our future. We connect business, academia and government institutes in exchanging ideas and experiences in developing human(ity)-centered AI applications. Combining data, design and artificial intelligence to solve challenging problems elegantly, ethically and efficiently. The three E’s.

Research:
AI in Practice
We are conducting a large scale research with Artificial Intelligence industry leaders across Europe, mapping out AI in Practice. The research explores real, actionable steps for establishing AI initiatives that create true value for organisations and people.
Through the AI in Practice initiative, we will be creating a knowledge exchange platform [codenamed Pantheum] allowing key learnings in the field of AI to be shared across businesses, government institutions and academia.
