AI & The Digital Society: n=1?

Erasmus Data Summit 2025

The 6th edition of the Erasmus Data Summit centers around hyper-personalization (n=1) — the growing capability of AI to create highly tailored experiences for individuals. This year’s theme invites a critical examination of the societal impact of such personalization, addressing questions like:

  • How do we balance the benefits of personalized medicine, governance, and education with the risks of social fragmentation?
  • What ethical frameworks must be established to ensure inclusivity and fairness in a hyper-personalized future?
Showcase cutting-edge research and technological advancements.
Facilitate debates on the implications of hyper-personalization.
Inspire collaboration between academia, industry, and public institutions.
