FIVEN and HCAIM: Together to Promote Ethical AI

Artificial Intelligence plays a fundamental role in our contemporaneity as a great source of value for companies and society. However, the many potentials of AI-based technologies often give way to reflection on the transparency, fairness and safety of their use. 

“Embracing a culture of innovation cannot do without a responsible approach to AI which must necessarily be guided by a strong ethical tension and the right technical skills, to guarantee the development of accurate systems free from bias or discrimination of any kind” – highlighted Alessandro Barducci, R&D Manager of Fiven.

With the intention of promoting this culture, Fiven – together with the CNR, the University of Naples Federico II, the University of Technology of Dublin, the University of Applied Sciences of Utrecht, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and other partner companies – won the European tender for the organization of the first European Master of Human Artificial Intelligence – Human-Centred AI Master. 

The Master was created with the aim of offering young students a wide range of courses, both practical and theoretical, to understand the dynamics underlying the functioning of the different models of artificial intelligence, their implementation and sectoral declination and the evaluation of their long-term social impact.

Through the continuous interaction between teachers, students and members of partner companies, the Master allows the free flow of ideas to develop and implement ethical AI projects that guarantee respect for fundamental human rights.

With these intentions, on the occasion of the Intensive Program Week, Fiven presented to all the students gathered at the University of Utrecht three areas of experimental thesis:

• Job Fitting
• Virtual Reality
• Natural Language Processing.

Promoting an AI that can be defined as truly responsible and respectful of human values does not only mean ensuring the accuracy and correctness of the software but ensuring the centrality of individuals in every project to generate a positive and transformative impact. For Fiven, this is an indispensable value, which is why, within the corporate context, every solution based on AI is conceived, designed and developed always keeping in mind the risks of an ethical nature and the regulatory regulation in this regard.

A human-centred approach to AI must be accompanied by indispensable technical skills, without which even the best intentions become groundless.

FIVEN, SOCIAL WELFARE COMES FIRST

On the path towards innovative growth and digital transformation, Fiven never loses sight of the ethical and social implications deriving from the development of Artificial Intelligence solutions.
