    DescriptionWhen it comes to artificial intelligence, the US dominates the market. With drones, China is in the lead. While the EU is wondering how can you improve global co-operation? The Maastricht political science professor Roberta Haar is seeking answers, together with dozens of researchers from seven universities. The EU has reserved three million to facilitate this.

    Of the forty researchers (and ten support staff), from universities such as Bremen, Leuven, and Rotterdam, five women from UM have carried the load. “I am very proud of that,” says Roberta Haar, co-ordinator of the research project. “I wonder if this has ever happened before.” The female researchers are at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and University College.

    It is all about REMIT, as the project has been named. This is an abbreviation of REignite Multilateralism via Technology. The most important question is: how can the EU improve global co-operation in the field of high-quality innovative technology? Co-operation of this kind – such as joint, international regulations for AI– is practically non-existent at the moment.
