ACHILLES project

We are thrilled to share that the latest issue of The Innovation Platform features an article about our project (p. 86-89) – links below! 📖✨ Right before our piece, you’ll find an insightful article by Mario Hernández Ramos, Chair of the Committee on AI of the Council of the European Union (p. 82-85), focusing on the HUDERIA Methodology for risk and impact assessment of AI systems. #Innovation #AI #Research #RiskAssessment #ACHILLES #TheInnovationPlatform #ArtificialIntelligence #GlobalChallenges Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI AI @ Fraunhofer HHI Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP) @KU Leuven Universidade da Coruña Servicio madrileño de salud (SERMAS) Arcada University of Applied Sciences INESC-ID Eticas AI IDnow France INSTITUTO DE SISTEMAS E ROBÓTICA - ISR INCM Imprensa Nacional - Casa da Moeda PNO Innovation (Portugal) Innovation Engineering CTT-INNOVATIONS Axiologic Research VARPA Group

The ACHILLES project confronts AI’s greatest challenges: Trust and efficiency, paving the way for ethical and impactful solutions. The project, supported by €8m under Horizon Europe, aims to establish a comprehensive framework allowing the creation of AI-based products that are lighter (environmentally and computationally sustainable), clearer (transparent, interpretable, and compliant), and safer (robust, privacy-preserving, and compliant). 🔗 https://bit.ly/4grY2CW #AI #ACHILLESproject #machinelearning

🔊 Meeting: Horizon Europe projects❗ ✅ As part of BDVA’s strategic objective to integrate Innovation, Ethics and Compliance, we have kickstarted activities aiming to foster collaboration among key contributors to this topic. 🤝 On February 4th, 2025, BDVA and the Data Spaces Support Centre organised an introductory meeting featuring European Commission Horizon Europe projects working on “AI-driven data operations and compliance technologies” (call: HE-CL4-2024-DATA-01-01). The participating projects—University of Groningen - ACCOMPLISSH, ACHILLES project, CERTAIN and DATAPACT project — had the opportunity to present their vision, mission and objectives to a diverse audience❗ Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQy4s4tT #HorizonEurope #DSSC #Datasharing #BigData #AI #data #innovation #AItech #compliance
