News about AI in education and culture in the Netherlands, Flanders and Brussels — cultural centres, museums, theatres, music venues, libraries, heritage institutions and more https://cultuur.ai/en/ en Sat, 25 Jul 2026 09:20:38 GMT https://netwerkdigitaalerfgoed.nl/agenda/aan-de-slag-met-je-ai-beleid/ c0c8d4cc-4e2c-42bf-b2a6-8b0f674db4db Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed announces a two-day course in which heritage organisations learn to develop their own AI policy. The course discusses applications such as manuscript transcription, communication and data analysis, but mainly emphasises ethical dilemmas, social impact, unreliable results and bias in data sets. Sat, 25 Jul 2026 09:20:38 GMT Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed https://www.filmfestival.nl/nieuws/gouden-kalf-selectie-digitale-cultuur-2026-bekend 2439b8a0-d42d-48d2-92cf-e50ae7c21e9c The Nederlands Film Festival has selected twelve productions for the Gouden Kalf Competitie Digitale Cultuur 2026. Presented during Storyspace at Bibliotheek Utrecht, the works explore how digital techniques can tell stories beyond film and television. According to the NFF, our relationship with new technologies such as AI is a major theme for many creators, with the interaction between people, technology and meaning as a common thread.

The step-by-step plan emphasises that teams must first formulate a clear problem, consciously choose AI assistants or specialized platforms, test results as a conversation and have a developer watch before a public tool goes live.

For cultural organisations, DEN emphasises starting with a concrete problem, testing results iteratively and having a developer review the work before any public-facing tool goes live.

AI has proved valuable in turning heritage data into accessible, interconnected and understandable information, yet its potential to generate meaningful new data remains largely untapped. Using a collection database containing metadata and images of the museum’s design objects, Jordaens retrained a diffusion model¹. The aim was both to help the machine understand the nuances of design and to create a model that could act as a co-agent alongside a designer, rethinking the relationship between people and machines in the design process.

For complex tasks such as diagnosis, however, conventional AI is not reliable enough. Explainability is therefore crucial. Unlike opaque models that operate as a black box, explainable AI follows clinically acceptable reasoning and shows how a decision was reached, allowing doctors to assess whether the outcome is trustworthy.

That is the goal of an international research project in which researchers from the Innovative Testing in Life Sciences & Chemistry professorship are participating. Specifically, the effects of chemicals on the liver, kidneys and developing brain are examined. The development of artificial intelligence contributes to the reduction of animal experiments. According to the researchers, toxicological research based on artificial intelligence is also more accurate and future-proof than research with laboratory animals. The project receives funding of more than 17 million euros from the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme.

New research tested the “analogy skills” of GPT models—or their ability to recognize patterns and connections and apply them to new situations. GPT models fall short when the problems are modified, revealing important weaknesses in their reasoning capabilities.
