Researchers highlight "small data" as key to responsible AI

AI development relies on vast amounts of data. Researchers are questioning if “big data” is enough to build ethical and reliable systems. Attention is shifting to “small data” – smaller, richer, and more controlled datasets that offer new insights.

Artificial intelligence at LiU

Development has been rapid since LiU appointed Sweden’s first professor in computer science, Erik Sandewall, in 1975. He presented his doctoral thesis in 1969 in the new subject “artificial intelligence”. At the time, research was focussed on expert systems and knowledge transfer. The focus today has shifted to machine learning, deep learning and systems that include reasoning and decision-making processes – AI-enabled systems.

At LiU, world-leading research is conducted in several important fields of AI. Computer Vision – deep learning in which computers, with the aid of advanced image processing and AI, can draw their own conclusions – is one strong field, while another is knowledge systems and advanced decision support, which requires logical reasoning. A third field example is research into the role of humans in the systems, together with how we can maintain the knowledge required to take over if the systems fail.

AI at LiU involves a wide

range of work, from education and research to contact with industry and society. 

AI is about AI techniques

as well as applications of these techniques.

LiU is host for WASP

Drone and swarm research at LiU

Drones are transforming how we explore, monitor and collaborate – in the air, on land and beneath the surface of the water. Research in drones and drone swarms is an interdisciplinary and rapidly growing field.
