TECNALIA and the Observatory on the Social and Ethical Impact of Artificial Intelligence OdiseIA join forces to promote the responsible use of this technology in companies

The research and technological development centre and OdiseIA will promote through their collaboration actions on the ethics, responsibility and current legislation of this technology.

Artificial Intelligence is considered the key technology for digital transformation and the main driver of business competitiveness and well-being for society in this new paradigm. However, its exponential growth opens up new avenues yet to be explored and determined at all levels. In order to take advantage of its potential in safe conditions, the research and technological development centre TECNALIA and the Observatory of the Social and Ethical Impact of Artificial Intelligence (OdiseIA) have joined forces to promote the responsible use of this technology, through three areas of analysis: ethics, responsibility and current legislation.

For this reason, they have signed a collaboration agreement in which they join their capabilities in this field, and in which they commit to promoting activities in the area of Artificial Intelligence, such as Statistics or Operational Research. Thus, in the case of TECNALIA, the fundamental pillars when conceiving technologies related to Artificial Intelligence are: inclusive AI with social impact, sustainable AI and ethical AI. For its part, OdiseIA promotes quality research and education in this area, and aims to convey its importance to society.

As a result of this collaboration, the following actions will be carried out: they will promote the presence of information sessions on Artificial Intelligence; they will encourage the participation of the members of both entities in the activities organised by each of them, especially promoting the participation of young people; and they will promote the implementation of projects and services to achieve a safe and responsible use of AI.
