Towards Trustworthy AI

The digital transformation is rapidly changing life as we know it. New technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI) systems, now support us in various situations. AI systems are used, for example, in language models, (driving) assistance systems, and in the general optimization and efficiency improvement of business processes.

The Path to Trustworthiness

As a leading European innovation and cutting-edge research center for trustworthy AI and Data Science, we are your ideal transformation partner, guiding you in the selection, implementation, and evaluation of your AI systems.

To ensure that AI systems can be used effectively, there must be sufficient trust in them within society. Numerous regulatory efforts and strategies currently emerging worldwide aim to ensure this trust in AI systems. Chief among them is the “AI Act” proposed by the European Commission. The AI Act is intended to be the world’s first comprehensive regulation of AI. It categorizes AI systems into risk categories ranging from “unacceptable” to “low” risk and prescribes different information and compliance requirements. Highly risky AI systems are subject to strict requirements related to quality, safety, risk management, documentation, and monitoring. Non-compliance with the regulations may result in fines that are enforceable at the national level.
