CERTAIN stands for “Centre for European Research in Trusted AI” and focuses on an approach that highlights the issue of “trust” in AI systems – an aspect that is often neglected in international research. The aim is to develop new technologies that provide functional and other guarantees for AI systems. The kick-off celebration, a milestone in supra-regional AI collaboration, will take place on September 19, 2023, in the Aula of Saarland University.
