Our research

The AI group focuses on use-inspired research, meaning we are driven both by fundamental curiosity and the potential for practical applications to solve real-world challenges. We work on advancing AI methods like knowledge engineering, machine learning and deep learning, while also looking closely at the ethical, legal and social implications of these technologies. After all, AI can be transformative, and sometimes disruptive, so it’s crucial to understand its impact. Our research creates value by developing new AI techniques that not only push the field forward, but also help tackle urgent societal problems — through close collaboration with data scientists, computer scientists, mathematicians and domain experts across Wageningen University & Research.
