Introducing the ALFIE Project

A screenshot from a video call.

On the 4th of October, the EU funded project ALFIE had its pre-Kick off Meeting online. ALFIE (grant number  101177912) stands for Assessment of Learning technologies and Frameworks for Intelligent and Ethical AI and it will run for the next three years.

The ALFIE project will create an ecosystem that combines advanced AI technology with ethical standards, ensuring that the resulting AI systems are not only high-performing but also fair, transparent, and free from bias. The project focuses on building two key components:

  1. EthiTech Dialogue Hub (ETD-Hub): A platform for dialogue and collaboration where AI experts, policymakers, legal professionals, and citizens can discuss and shape the ethical and legal aspects of AI. This platform will serve as a hub for exchanging ideas, understanding societal needs, and defining policies that ensure AI technologies are used responsibly.
  2. AutoML Platform: A platform designed to allow users to easily create machine learning models, even without technical expertise. This platform will prioritise ethics and compliance with European Union regulations, helping ensure that AI models are fair, transparent, and trustworthy. The platform will automate much of the machine learning process, from selecting algorithms to tuning models, making AI more accessible to a broader audience.

ALFIE consortium consists of ten experienced and committed partners. Led by the SME Catalink Limited, it has one industrial partner (Bosch), and two  SMEs Distributed Analytics Solutions  (DAS) and Diadikasia Business Consulting (DBC) with strong exploitation and innovation interest in the AI domain. 

There are 2 research partners CERTH and Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies (KInIT) and 4 academic partners (University of Brighton, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Edge Hill University, and Eindhoven University of Technology). 

The ten partners are from six different European countries, namely, Cyprus, Greece, Slovakia, Spain, Netherlands and the United Kingdom, with broad geographic coverage, as well as combining expertise in several different disciplines.
