On March 11th, something exciting happened! The University of Tartu, one of the SPATIAL partners, organized a special seminar called “Trustworthy and Responsible AI” in Tartu, Estonia, as part of the SPATIAL project.
We had some brilliant speakers at the seminar. Huber Flores started things off by talking about “AI Sensors and Dashboards.” He explained how we can check and keep an eye on how AI makes decisions. Then, Michell Boerger talked about “ML Models operating on Multivariate Time-series Data,” which is about ensuring that AI is reliable and transparent.
Sonia Sousa‘s talk on “Users’ Trust in AI” brought a different perspective, emphasising the importance of people’s trust in AI systems. Manh Nguyen then discussed “Cybersecurity Analysis of 5G/IoT Networks,” ensuring that new technologies are safe and understandable.
David Solans discussed “Fairness and Diversity in Federated Learning,” which ensures that AI treats everyone fairly. Finally, Bart Siniarski discussed “Protecting 6G Networks Through Resilience and Innovation,” which ensures that AI systems are safe from attacks.
During the seminar, Abdul-Rasheed Ottun and M.M. Rasinthe Marasinghe helped guide the discussions and ensured everyone got involved.
During the consortium meeting (on the 12th and 13th of March), in addition to discussing our project milestones and plans, we also allocated time for discussing the final event and use cases. These sessions enabled us to delve deeper into the project’s needs and collaboratively identify potential challenges and solutions. Moreover, we had the opportunity to strategize on effective communication channels and dissemination methods to ensure that our research findings reach wider audiences and have a meaningful impact beyond academia.
Overall, the Tartu meeting served as a platform for academic discussions and fostering teamwork, innovation, and mutual support within the SPATIAL project community.
