Project description
Exploring sustainable AI solutions for society and for individuals
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used as a tool for addressing challenges like climate change and the energy crisis. However, it also raises significant ethical and societal concerns. The EU-funded ELIAS project investigates how AI can help reduce computational costs, model the effects of policy decisions on society, and impact individuals. It will blend foundational research from academia with research geared towards industry applications. Building upon the success of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), ELIAS further defines ELLIS’s excellence criteria and core principles. It also provides support to AI researchers and emerging talents in the field. In addition, the project will establish a science-entrepreneurship track to facilitate development of innovative AI solutions that contribute to sustainability.
Objective
We live in a crucial historical moment, with tremendous challenges ahead, from climate change to the energy crisis. ELIAS emerges from the belief that AI will be a key discipline to help us tackle these challenges. At the same time, the development of AI entails deep ethical and societal concerns that need to be addressed. As for fundamental research, ELIAS will address key scientific questions about how AI can reduce computational costs, serves to model effects of policy decisions on society, and impacts individuals. ELIAS will strive for a deep integration of the fundamental research that takes place in academia and the more applications-focused research from industry.
ELIAS builds on and expands the highly successful and internationally recognized European
Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS). ELIAS will further develop the excellence criteria and the pillars in ELLIS and implement actions that will support AI researchers and young talents at different stages of their careers. Furthermore, ELIAS will develop a Sciencentrepreneurship track, with the purpose of attracting and empowering talents at the interface of scientific innovation and business and establish original AI solutions that move towards a sustainable long-term future for our planet, contribute to a cohesive society, and respect individual rights.
The outcome of ELIAS will be to establish Europe as a leader in AI research in which impact on the environment, society and the individual are integral considerations during development. We will measure the success of this endeavor in terms of key indicators, including the number of new cross-institutional collaborations, the number of cross-disciplinary collaborations, the number of industry-academic partnerships, publications in top conferences and journals, patents, and the number of projects that have resulted in deployed technologies.
