The Hague Summer School 2026: ‘Responsible AI for Society’
The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) invites students from all UNINOVIS partner universities to its Summer School on Responsible AI for Society. This intensive programme takes place 6–17 July 2026 in The Hague, the international city of peace and justice.
Why attend?
This course takes a holistic approach to AI’s impact on society, examining it across four levels – from the ethics of data to global geopolitics.
The Micro Level (Data). The course begins with the foundational, often invisible steps of AI: how data is gathered, cleaned, and modelled, highlighting the ethical choices and potential misconduct behind statistical and algorithmic fairness.
The Meso Level (Human-Machine Interaction). It then shifts focus to the user, exploring how individuals interact with AI models, how AI shapes human cognition, language, and professional identity, and where epistemic authority truly lies.
The Civic Level (Society & Politics). The focus widens to society, examining the civic consequences of AI, the asymmetry of technological power between designers and users, and regulatory responses such as the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
The Macro Level (Planetary & Global Power). Finally, the course zooms out to a planetary scale, questioning the socio-economic, ecological (water and energy use), and neo-colonial power dynamics driven by Big Tech companies in the US and China.
Successful completion of the programme earns 4 ECTS credits.
