We focus on leveraging AI to enhance data governance frameworks, ensuring that data-driven technologies are developed and deployed responsibly, ethically, and sustainably. Our work spans several key areas:
Ethical AI: Promoting transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI systems.
Data Privacy: Safeguarding personal data while enabling innovation.
Regulatory Frameworks: Shaping policies and standards that govern the use of AI and data (i.e. EU Data Governance ACT, EU AI ACT, others)
Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating risks associated with AI and big data.
Public Engagement: Enhancing public understanding and trust in AI technologies.
By integrating multidisciplinary expertise and collaborating with global partners, we aim to create robust, adaptable governance models that support the positive impact of AI on society.
