Description:
Citizens are increasingly confronted with decisions made about them by AI-systems in, e.g., healthcare and government services. Often without the AI-system being able to explain that decision. The DECIDE project wants to change this. Scientists from various disciplines, such as computer science, philosophy, ethics, psychology, law, public administration and business sciences together with citizens, are developing a new generation of more transparent and democratic AI systems. This gives citizens more control over decisions affecting their lives. We also develop new AI-systems as 'intelligence-enhancing-technology' for use by citizens. This will ensure that AI contributes to a fair transformation of society.
Project allocated: 6.8 million euro (excluding co-financing in kind of 0.1 million euro)
