Interactive AI Systems – A new master’s programme focusing on both technology and people
Are you curious about how humans and artificial intelligence can collaborate in a responsible and creative way? This master’s programme gives you the tools to design the AI solutions of the future – with a focus on both technology and people.
The programme Interactive AI Systems is built on expertise from subject areas such as media technology, computer science, and informatics.
“The programme offers a unique combination of technical depth and human perspectives. You will learn to develop AI systems that are not only efficient, but also explainable, ethically sustainable, and user-friendly. You will also gain a broad and contemporary understanding of how AI affects and interacts with people and society,” says Rafael Messias Martins, Senior lecturer at the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology, who has been involved in developing the program.
A programme for those who want to work at the intersection of technology, design, and society
Over the two years of the programme, you will study machine learning for interactive systems, information visualisation, explainable AI, ethics, and sustainability. You will also have the opportunity to choose elective courses and complete your studies with a degree project in an area you are passionate about. Teaching is conducted in English in an international environment with close contact between students and researchers.
“The programme is research-oriented and practice-focused. You will work on projects linked to both research environments and industry, and you will have opportunities for internships or studies abroad,” Rafael continues.
The programme is aimed at those with a background in, for example, media technology, computer science, or related fields, who want to take the next step in their development. Perhaps you are passionate about creating smart, visual, and user-centred solutions or want to contribute to the responsible use of AI in society.
“Through workshops, seminars, and collaboration with companies and organisations, you will apply theory to real-world contexts and develop prototypes, analytical tools, and solutions to current societal challenges,” Rafael concludes.
Career opportunities in the AI of the future
After graduation, you will have the competence to lead the development of responsible and user-centred intelligent systems. Common career paths include AI strategist, data visualisation specialist, human–AI interaction designer, and developer of human-in-the-loop AI applications. You may also choose to continue to doctoral studies in areas such as explainable AI, visual analytics, computer science, and media technology.
