Joint SIENNA/SHERPA/HBP webinar 30 March: Trust and Transparency in Artificial Intelligence
Bildtext
Trust and transparency in artificial intelligence (AI) are hotly debated themes and central to the responsible governance of this expanding technology field. The Ethics and Society Subproject of the Human Brain Project (HBP) has developed an Opinion to further the debate on key ethical and social issues that arise from the use of AI. It draws on findings from social science and humanities research, including a series of consultancies, webinars and workshops with citizens, scientists, policy makers and other stakeholders.

The document highlights areas where challenges to the development of trustworthy, transparent and accountable AI applications become apparent, including in the context of commercialization, international technology transfer, and dual use innovation, and with regard to gender equality, diversity and inclusion. In response to these issues, the Opinion has developed six recommendations for the Human Brain Project, that provide guidance on how the HBP can address the ethical and RRI dimensions of AI in its final phase and the emerging transition to EBRAINS.
The Human Brain Project's work package on Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI) will present and discuss this opinion in an open webinar organised together with the Horizon2020 SIENNA and SHERPA projects on 30 March. Want to know more? Join us!

Responsible research & innovation in the Human Brain Project
The Human Brain Project (HBP) will have an impact on both science and society. We are committed to Responsible Research and Innovation (what is also known as RRI). A wide umbrella connecting different aspects of the relationship between research and innovation and society. We enable responsibility within the HBP by providing the governance structures that are needed. We also conduct social, ethical and reflective research on everything from good RRI practice, dual use, public engagement, diversity to neuroethics and philosophy. These activities are spread across the project.
