The first research project where I am PI, “Responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in government agencies”, was selected by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to seek sponsorship! Everything is in Dutch, but it can be translated with the Google translate plugin.

The Societal Analytics Lab aims to expand VU research infrastructure and foster methodological innovation. For this, we set up our own server with different AI products, such as LLMs. Ollama is our most resent product, reach out to us if you want to try it out! www.societal-analytics.nl/contact
