Computers Don't Byte

Niki van Stein is assistant professor at LIACS. Her research focuses on explainable artificial intelligence (AI), with a specific focus on the maritime sector. At a time when modern marine vessels are evolving into complex supercomputers on water, AI plays a crucial role in efficiently managing maintenance tasks.

However, the key to success lies in the ability of these AI systems to be understandable to both maintenance workers and crew on board. This is where Niki's research comes in: she aims to make AI accessible and understandable to everyone involved in ship maintenance.
