A StarAI Approach to Safety in Learning Systems KU Leuven
Artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. However, numerous accidents in AI research and applications have demonstrated the potential risks of AI, ranging from language models being verbally abusive to robotic systems causing physical harm. The development of AI brings an emerging concern of harming the world in various ways. Addressing the challenge of designing AI solutions that align with the intentions of human ...
Impact of Bacillus cereus endospore evolution on food safety and stability Ghent University
The Bacillus cereus (sensu lato) group encompasses important foodborne spoilers and toxigenic pathogens that are able to differentiate into extremely recalcitrant endospores that are often able to withstand the inimical conditions imposed by heat, sanitizers and radiation that tend to be in use throughout the food production chain. These inimical exposures range from being lethal to sublethal, and are therefore bound to constitute an ...
International training in food safety, quality Assurance and risk analysis Ghent University
The ITP Food Safety is covering different aspects of food safety (microbiological, chemical and physical hazards) and the possibilities to control these hazards along the agri-food chain. In this frame, different tools are disseminated e.g. Codex Alimentarius guidelines, implementation of Food Safety Management Systems based on Pre Requisite Programs and HACCP principles but also international acknowledge quality assurance standards as ISO ...

Opioid and dopaminergic mechanisms in the learning of safety KU Leuven
Fear is the emotional reaction that accompanies an expectation of danger. But what if the expectation is wrong and the danger doesn’t follow? Numerous experiments have shown that rodents lose their fears when a previous signal of danger is no longer followed by this danger. The reduction of fear results from new learning of safety, in which the signal becomes associated with the absence of danger. This new learning is governed by the degree ...
Assessment of cycling safety on adolescents’ commuting routes based on spatiotemporal analyses Ghent University
The older adolescents are, the less frequent they use their bike for transport. However, cycling is good for health and for the environment and climate. Cycling safety is an important factor determining adolescents’ choice for a specific cycling route. With this research, cycling safety along adolescents’ routes between their home and school will be analysed, both at macro- and at micro-scale. In a first phase, cycling routes of adolescents ...
Predictive mOdelling Tools to evaluate the Effects of Climate change on food safeTy and spoilage KU Leuven
Climate change and food safety have become interdependent worldwide research priorities. In order to meet the EU challenge of doubling food production by 2050 (to meet population demands) while dealing with the impact of climate change on food safety, investment in research to address this issue is required. The overarching aim of this Innovative Training Network (ITN) is to provide high-level training in Predictive mOdelling Tools to ...
