Building trust in human-centric artificial intelligence

Summary:

Communication presented on 8 April 2019 by the European Commission, setting out the a pilot phase in the European approach for building trust in artificial intelligence (AI).

Further information:

Following the publication of an EU-wide strategy to embrace artificial intelligence, the European Commission developed with the Member States a coordinated plan on AI to create synergies, pool data and increase joint investments. To implement such a common strategic research, innovation and deployment agenda the Commission also intensified its dialogue with all relevant stakeholders from industry, research institutes and public authorities.

The purpose of this Communication is to launch a comprehensive piloting phase involving stakeholders on the widest scale in order to test the practical implementation of ethical guidance for AI development and use. This stage builds on the work of the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence, as an invitation to the industry, research institutes and public authorities to test the detailed assessment list drafted by the experts, which complements the guidelines.
