DEI4EAI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Embodied AI) focuses on the development, evaluation and policy of embodied AI that fosters a diverse and inclusive culture. It received the Diversity Initiative Award at the NWO Science Awards because the jury was impressed by the high degree of diversity of the collective and the original approach to the problems of unintentional prejudice in AI applications.
The DEI4EAI research collective involves researchers and students from University of Twente, Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University and the University of Leiden. It is led by Cristina Zaga, UT assistant professor in the Human-Centred Design Group and researcher at DesignLab. Her research bridges engineering, design, and social science to develop technology responsibly.
