TAILOR (InfraScience)
Foundations of Trustworthy AI - Integrating Reasoning, Learning and Optimization

Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and all the key digital technologies
that are subsumed by the term AI today are an essential part of the
answers to many of the daunting challenges that we are facing. AI will
impact the everyday lives of citizens as well as all business sectors.
To maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks, Europe focuses on
humancentered Trustworthy AI, and is taking important steps towards
becoming the worldwide centre for Trustworthy AI.Trustworthiness
however still requires significant basic research, and it is clear that
the only way to achieve this is through the integration of learning,
optimisation and reasoning, as neither approach will be sufficient on
its own.The purpose of TAILOR is to build a strong
academic-public-industrial research network with the capacity of
providing the scientific basis for Trustworthy AI leveraging and
combining learning, optimization and reasoning for realizing AI systems
that incorporate the safeguards that make them in the reliable, safe,
transparent and respectful of human agency and expectations. Not only
the mechanisms to maximize benefits, but also those for minimizing harm.
The network will be based on a number of innovative state-of-the-art
mechanisms. A multi-stakeholder strategic research and innovation
research roadmap coordinates and guides the research in the five basic
research programs. Each program forming virtual research environments
with many of the best AI researchers in Europeaddressing the
major scientific challenges identified in the roadmap. A collection of
mechanisms supporting innovation, commercialization and knowledge
transfer to industry. To support network collaboration TAILOR provides
mechanisms such as AI-Powered Collaboration Tools, a PhD program, and
training programs. A connectivity fund to support active dissemination
across Europe through for example allowing the network to grow and to
support the scientific stepping up of more research groups.
