Over the event

15:00-16:30(GMT+1) 15 MARCH tuesday

Last year AI4Belgium started a project to optimize the Trustworthy AI Assessment List of the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on AI. The goal was to turn it into a more user-friendly tool, make it more concrete, sector-specific, accessible, and practical, to eventually help organizations enhance their AI systems’ trustworthiness. In the past months, several workshops have taken place to gain a deeper understanding from stakeholders on how the Assessment List (and the existing online tool) could be rendered into such a practical tool. Based on stakeholder feedback, a concept for the tool was developed and visualized in screen mockups.

The purpose of this meeting is to present the concept and mockups, gather feedback from the wider AI4Belgium community, prioritize features for the tool, and help set up the roadmap for its further development.
