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.
Portuguese painter Armanda Passos (1944-2021) will be honoured at the Champalimaud Foundation Exhibition Centre in the first retrospective of her work.
The exhibition opens on November 16 at 12 pm and runs until December 31, 2022, and is curated by Fabíola Passos, the Artist’s daughter. As an addition to the exhibition, a retrospective book was also published containing the text “A powerful imagination” signed by Professor Raquel Henriques da Silva.

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”.
Two editions of the European Researchers’ Night will be held at the incredible premises of the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown located in Lisbon.
To reach members of the public from underserved and underprivileged communities, the European Researchers’ Night will be supported by several pre-events and co-created by researchers and members of the public, namely students from the school programmes and artists.

For many years, corneal injuries or disorders have been one of the leading causes of blindness across the world. The two physician-scientists have decisively changed and accelerated the path to the treatment of these problems. A deeper understanding of the transparent outer layer of the eye, as well as the possibility of ensuring an improved and more cost-effective approach to corneal surgery and transplantation, are essential to tackle this plight.
