Descrizione del progetto
IA responsabile per una transizione ecologica sostenibile
Per aumentare la fiducia nell’intelligenza artificiale (IA), una relazione della Commissione europea mette in luce la necessità per la società civile di discutere dei valori incorporati nelle pratiche di intelligenza artificiale e progettazione responsabile che codificano valori e raccomandazioni della società. Sebbene un’intelligenza artificiale affidabile, responsabile e trasparente rappresenti un metodo promettente per l’UE, essa non è ancora matura, e necessita di nuove competenze di ricerca per colmare il divario tra discipline. Il progetto GECKO, finanziato dall’UE, sarà incentrato sul Green Deal europeo e sull’ecosistema di IA, per fare in modo che la transizione ecologica sostenibile sia vantaggiosa per tutti cittadini. Il progetto realizzerà un programma pionieristico di ricerca integrata basato sulla sinergia tra scienza, discipline umanistiche e tecnologia, che offrirà all’UE un vantaggio competitivo a livello mondiale.
Obiettivo
GECKO will focus on accountable, responsible, and transparent artificial intelligence (ART AI) to address urgent environmental needs and support the European Green Deal and AI ecosystem, ensuring that all citizens benefit from the sustainable green transition. The EC AI flagship report highlights the need for the input of civil society to discuss values being embedded into AI (via social sciences) and responsible design practices (via information sciences) that encode societal values and guidelines into AI system so that they are ethical by design in order to build and retain trust in AI. ART AI is a promising approach for EU, but has not yet reached the level of maturity and urgent research and new research skills are needed to bridge the gap between disciplines. GECKO will establish a synergy between science, humanities, and technology research, currently missing, through a ground-breaking integrated research programme giving Europe a competitive global advantage. GECKO’s ambition is to create a sustainable, European-wide network with a critical and innovative mass, driving innovative, socio-technical AI, driving future policies with ground-breaking and responsible AI, reducing the carbon footprint of the domestic sector, tackling social justice in the energy sector, and leading the pathway towards the first carbon neutral continent. The ‘EU added-value’ for research excellence is unique as it includes: (i) a well-balanced mixture of world-leading expertise in social science, information science, and engineering not present in individual countries; (ii) industrial stakeholders covering different aspects of technology innovation across EU; (iii) access to diverse data, resources, and stakeholders across the EU enabling public debates in different fora to translate societal values into AI system design strategies; (iv) studying cross-country (-cultural) related issues related to home technology use in civil society, identifying commonalities and differences.
