Housing in London is a miserable experience for many, and it is most
miserable of all for private renters. For years private rented living
conditions in the capital have been getting worse, while rents have

Have you ever tried zooming in on an image on your computer? Did you notice how the quality steadily got worse and worse?
This is an unfortunate feature of “raster graphics,” the file formats that use a rectangular grid of pixels to make up an image, and present a particular problem for people making maps, for example—how else would you be able to take a regional map and zoom down into a particular town?
The post Interdisciplinair onderzoek naar de maatschappelijke implicaties van Artificial Intelligence (AI) appeared first on IVIR.
Given the data-intensive nature of approaches such as machine learning, and the increasing ubiquity of AI in everyday products and services, there is a growing interest to understand its implications.

The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is located in Hjørring, Jutland, Denmark, on the North Sea. Construction on it began in 1899; it was lit for the first time in 1900 and its light was extinguished for the final time in 1968.
