Eticas Joins ACHILLES: Advancing Efficient, Transparent, and Secure AI
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are not only powerful but also trustworthy has never been greater. Eticas is excited to announce our partnership in the ACHILLES project, a European initiative dedicated to developing AI that is efficient, transparent, and secure.
Reimagining AI Development
ACHILLES is set to transform the AI development process by focusing on three fundamental principles:
- Efficiency: Creating AI models that are less data-intensive and more energy-efficient.
- Transparency: Ensuring that AI systems are understandable and their decision-making processes are clear.
- Security: Building robust AI applications that are secure and accountable.
This collaborative effort brings together a diverse group of partners from across Europe, including universities, research centers, public institutions, SMEs, and large companies, all working towards the common goal of making AI systems that serve society responsibly.
Eticas' Role in ACHILLES
With our extensive experience in algorithmic auditing and ethical AI practices, Eticas is leading several key initiatives within the ACHILLES project:
- Ethical and Legal Compliance: We are developing frameworks to ensure that AI systems adhere to regulations such as the GDPR and the forthcoming EU AI Act. This includes creating procedures for data handling and collaborating with an Ethics Board comprising international experts.
- Bias Detection and Mitigation: Our team is designing tools and methodologies to identify and reduce biases in AI systems, promoting fairness across various demographic factors.
- Privacy-Preserving Techniques: We are implementing strategies like federated learning and synthetic data generation to protect individual privacy while maintaining the effectiveness of AI models.
At Eticas, we have always championed the idea that technology should be developed with a focus on ethical considerations and societal impact. Our involvement in ACHILLES allows us to further this mission by collaborating with esteemed partners across Europe to define what responsible AI development looks like. Together, we are demonstrating that creating AI systems that are efficient, transparent, and secure is not only possible but essential.
We look forward to sharing updates on our progress and the tangible impacts of the ACHILLES project’s tools and frameworks across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and public services. Stay tuned as we continue this journey towards building a future where AI serves as a trustworthy and beneficial tool for all and learn more about the project at ACHILLES’ website.
