Artificial Intelligence | Radboud University

In the Bachelor's programme in Artificial Intelligence in Nijmegen, you study how to make smart computers and robots. To do so, you need to know how the human brain works; computer models can for their part help in brain research.

To come and study Artificial Intelligence you must be interested in the interaction between humans and computers. In order to build smart computers and robots, knowledge about the human brain is useful. For example, if you know how people recognise faces, you can use this knowledge to develop a passport scan. Reversely it also works: by imitating brain processes using computer models, you learn to understand the brain better. The requirements for passport photos are very strict; you shouldn’t laugh, your ears must be visible; you have to take of your spectacles and you must look straight at the camera. This is necessary because what you see at a single glance – person and photo match – is a complicated puzzle for a computer scanning the passport. People are champions in rapidly recognising and detecting patterns – independently whether it concerns faces, letters or sounds. How do they do that? And, could we teach machines this trick too? These are the kind of issues the Bachelor's programme in Artificial Intelligence tackles.
