Project description
New tools for legal and ethical AI discussion
The rapid expansion of AI tools in industrial processes, autonomous vehicles and beyond has highlighted the urgent need for discussions about its legal and ethical implications, including issues related to socio-economic impact and personal privacy. These discussions are crucial for shaping future policies and actions surrounding AI. The EU-funded ALFIE project will introduce a bidirectional conversation between an AutoML platform and an EthiTech Dialogue Hub (ETD-Hub) to support automatic and ethical AI model generation. In essence, ETD-Hub is a multidisciplinary forum where AI professionals, legal entities, citizens and policymakers discuss and explore AI's ethical dimensions that influence future policy decisions, while the AutoML platform gathers and convert ETD-Hub insights into actionable AI tools to assess and refine policy recommendations.
Objective
ALFIE project encompasses the EthiTech Dialogue Hub (ETD-Hub) and AutoML platform. ETD-Hub is as a multi-disciplinary discussion forum where citizens, policymakers, AI professionals, and legal entities come together to engage in robust conversations surrounding the legal and ethical dimensions of AI and related technologies. The ETD-Hub serves as a collaborative space, shaping policy recommendations that influence the European Legal framework on AI, ensuring its adaptability to evolving societal and technological landscapes. Complementing the ETD-Hub is AutoML, an advanced implementation platform that seamlessly translates these deliberative outcomes into actionable AI tools and solutions. There is a bi-directional feedback loop between ETD-Hub and the AutoML platform helping to refine the policy recommendations. The AutoML platform combines two layers: Interaction layer relying on generative AI and an AutoML engine. The interaction layer contributes to the democratisation of AI by enabling the creation of advanced AI tools through interaction in natural language and speech with focus on multilinguality, while the AutoML platform finds the solutions based on the input of the user given through the first layer. The AutoML not only generates AI models and solutions that respect the EU legal framework, but also serves as a data broker providing access to a wide range of datasets contained in different platforms, with special focus on promoting unbiased and balanced AI datasets. With integrated features such as natural language processing, speech recognition, multilingual capabilities, and explainable AI, AutoML represents a widely accessible AI platform that seamlessly connects with AI-ethics through ALFIE ecosystem, and is ready to bridge legal discourse with technological implementation fostering responsible and transparent AI practices.
