Portuguese consortium to receive 78 million euros funding from the Programa de Recuperação e Resiliência to develop “responsible” AI
For every argument that construes AI as essential, promising and transforming across nearly all industries, there are voiced concerns about this technology. Many people do not trust AI, claiming that intelligent machines will one day dominate humankind. But while this is a remote possibility, the harm that can be done to people (albeit mostly unintentionally) by deep learning algorithms is very tangible – and has already been known to occur in the real world.

When the question is how to repair the “window of the eye”
On September 15th 2022, the António Champalimaud Vision Award was attributed to two physician-scientists, both of them ophthalmologists, for their pioneering work in the understanding and treatment of corneal disease. Gerrit Melles from the Netherlands Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery, and Claes Dohlman, from Mass Eye & Ear and Harvard University, shared the prestigious one million euro award – the former for his innovative surgical methods of corneal transplant, the latter for his advancement of cornea research and the development of an artificial cornea, the “Boston K-Pro”.
