Summary
The AIOLIA project, funded by the European Commission, aims to operationalize AI ethics through real-world use cases and educational resources. It involves 20 partners from Europe and beyond, focusing on understanding AI's impact on decision-making in sensitive fields like healthcare and safety engineering.
The project examines ethical tensions that arise when translating principles into practice, particularly in the context of AI applications. It emphasizes the need for concrete measures and guidelines to ensure responsible AI use and improve safety analysis practices.
AIOLIA produces narrative highlights to help students understand the complexities of operationalizing ethical principles. These narratives are based on real tensions identified through collaboration with partners, aiming to enhance the educational experience.
The project also investigates the interaction between large language models and human behavior, addressing ethical challenges that emerge in various contexts, including family dynamics. It seeks to explore the implications of AI on user privacy and emotional states.
