HumanE AI Network

The HumanE AI Net brings together top European research centers, universities and
key industrial champions into a network of centers of
excellence that goes
beyond a narrow definition of AI and combines world leading AI competence with
key players in related areas such
as HCI, cognitive science, social sciences
and complexity science. This is crucial to develop a truly Human Centric brand of
European
AI. We will leverage the synergies between the involved centers of
excellence to develop the scientific foundations and
technological
breakthroughs needed to shape the AI revolution in a direction
that is beneficial to humans both individually and societally, and adheres
to
European ethical values and social, cultural, legal, and political norms.
The core challenge is the development of robust, trustworthy AI
capable of
what "understanding" humans, adapting to complex real-world environments, and
appropriately interacting in complex social
settings. The aim is to facilitate
AI systems that enhance human capabilities and empower individuals and society as
a whole while
respecting human autonomy and self-determination. The HumanE AI
Net project will engender the mobilization of a research landscape
far beyond
direct project funding, involve and engage European industry, reach out to
relevant social stakeholders, and create a unique
innovation ecosystem that
provides a many fold return on investment for the European economy and society.
We will make the results of
the research available to the European AI
community through the AI4EU platform and a Virtual Laboratory, develop a series
of summer
schools, tutorials and MOOCs to spread the knowledge, develop
a dedicated innovation ecosystem for transforming research and
innovation into
an economic impact and value for society, establish an industrial Ph.D. program
and involve key industrial players from
sectors crucial to European economy in
research agenda definition and results evaluation in relevant use cases.
