Q&A with PI Stephan Wensveen
In this video interview, we speak with Professor Stephan Wensveen, Professor of Transformative Design at Eindhoven University of Technology. He discusses his approach to guiding and supervising PhD candidates, how his work connects design research with emerging technologies and what message he believes should be shared with those outside academia who are concerned about the future of AI.
Navigating Truth and Accountability in the Age of AI Information
Journalism, as one of the main driving forces behind information flows in modern societies, has traditionally promoted itself as the medium of truth. The credibility of news institutions and the legitimacy of journalism as a profession have long rested on their ability to produce, verify and disseminate information grounded in factual accuracy and editorial integrity. Yet, in the era of artificial intelligence, these epistemic foundations are being profoundly challenged: generative AI does not only replicate or automate journalistic processes, but also potentially transforms them. The generative potential of AI introduces a new layer of uncertainty to news production, as tools that are neither human nor conscious are now producing texts with the marks of human authorship, originality and even moral voice.
Tying the Knots of Trust: Understanding the Evolving Sociotechnical Ecosystem of Trust in LLMs
When we interact with a chatbot, ask a digital assistant for advice or rely on LLMs to summarise a long document, we are doing something profoundly human: we are trusting. Trust is part of what makes cooperation possible between people, but increasingly, also between people and machines. In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), and particularly with the rapid rise of large language models (LLMs), trust has become a central issue.
Q&A with PI Line Clemmensen
In this video interview, we speak with Professor Line Clemmensen, Professor of Machine Learning at the Technical University of Denmark. She shares what her team contributes to the project, her approach to supervising PhD candidates, and how she helps them grow in both technical expertise and ethical responsibility.
Q&A with PI Sneha Das
In this video interview, we speak with Assistant Professor Sneha Das, a researcher at DTU whose work focuses on trustworthy AI and responsible data driven systems. She discusses the perspective her institute contributes to the project, and how the program can guide policy and public understanding related to AI and alignment.
Exploring AI Advancement at NeurIPS 2025
The Thirty-Ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2025), was held from 2-7 December 2025 in San Diego. Our alignAI doctoral candidate Candidate Cen Lu attended and presented his poster “Chain-of-Model Learning for Language Model” at the poster session.
