A debate about artificial intelligence<\/em> (AI) in healthcare will be the centrepiece of the Science Caf\u00e9<\/em> meeting. Will the role of the human doctor be determined by AI in the near future? In a series of political discussions, members of the city\u2019s political parties will discuss education and emancipation with members of Erasmus University\u2019s academic staff.<\/p>\n

26 February \u2013 Artificial Intelligence Science Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this very rapidly evolving society, we are hearing more and more about how algorithms are performing tasks that were once performed by human beings. There is a strong possibility that the care of patients who have a chronic condition will in future be handled by artificial intelligence (AI). The Science Caf\u00e9 meeting will focus on the question as to whether AI will become more intelligent than the human doctor. To what extent can AI play a role in solving problems in the current healthcare sector? Will algorithms be able to identify chronic diseases in patients more rapidly than human doctors? Will the advance of AI bring us closer to a utopian healthcare sector or result in a\u00a0Black Mirror\u00a0<\/em>kind of future?<\/p>\n\n\t

7 March \u2013 Political discussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rotterdam is currently filled with campaign posters of Liveable Rotterdam (Leefbaar Rotterdam<\/em>)\u00a0and the Socialist Party. Municipal elections are approaching. In the run-up to these elections, Erasmus University College, in cooperation with OPEN Rotterdam, is hosting a series of four political discussions, the third of which will focus on education and emancipation. For a diverse city like Rotterdam, this subject remains very current. The third meeting will therefore provide an opportunity to explore the myths and realities of female professors and rectors at universities, for example, and discover the views of Rotterdam\u2019s political parties on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\t

8 March \u2013 Let\u2019s Talk Health, (Wo)men!<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Let\u2019s Talk Health, (Wo)men! <\/em>talk show organised by Erasmus University Rotterdam, the focus on International Women\u2019s Day will be on the social, economic, cultural and political efforts and contributions of women. Four inspiring women will share their ideas for greater equality in women\u2019s health. The discussions will focus on organisations like FairFight, a Rotterdam-based organisation that empowers women through martial arts, and subjects like gender-sensitive medicine.<\/p>\n\n\t\n\t
