2 August 2026 marks another major milestone in the implementation of the European Union’s AI Act. New obligations are now applicable for providers of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models, while transparency requirements for AI-generated content also become enforceable across the EU. Together, these measures represent an important step towards making AI systems more transparent, accountable, and worthy of public trust.  The AI…

As autonomous agents take on increasingly complex decision-making roles, understanding and interpreting their behaviour becomes more challenging. In May, the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre organised a tutorial introducing a structured, agent-focused perspective on explainability, moving from commonly used post-hoc techniques to more expressive causal and intention-aware forms of explanation. The session blended conceptual foundations with hands-on…

As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly multimodal and capable of reasoning across text, images and other data modalities, ensuring that these models are trustworthy requires more than stronger architectures alone. Robust evaluation frameworks and meaningful benchmarks are becoming essential tools for understanding model capabilities, limitations and potential risks. This challenge was at the centre of…

On 23 June, AIXPERT partner University of Groningen (RuG) participated in a workshop at the 32nd International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (IEEE ICE) in Porto, Portugal. The session brought together representatives from several EU-funded projects in the field of AI, including cluster projects TRUMAN and TURING, to discuss how robustness and trustworthiness can be embedded into AI systems deployed in real-world settings. AIXpert was represented by Christos Emmanouilidis…

At DataWeek 2026 in Oslo, AIXPERT, represented by Technical Coordinator NOVELCORE, presented a clear and compelling vision: trustworthy AI must be explainable, accountable, and transparent by design.  As part of a joint session on Human Oversight and Hybrid Intelligence – bringing together EU-funded projects including Themis 5.0, FAITH, and AI Mimer –   the project showcased an agentic, multi‑layer GenAI…

On 28th of March, our partner Orfium took part in the 4th Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Music and Audio (NLP4MusA 2026). This article provides an overview of their participation and highlights the relevance of their contribution to responsible AI in the music domain. This year’s workshop focused on exploring the multimodal synergies between…

From 30 November to 7 December 2025, the Thirty-Ninth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) took place across San Diego (CA), and Mexico City (MX). NeurIPS is one of the world’s leading conferences in machine learning (ML) and computational neuroscience, serving as a key forum for presenting cutting-edge research and emerging trends. The conference plays a central role in shaping AI innovation, influencing technological directions,…

On 11 and 12 June, the AIXPERT consortium convened in Athens to initiate a dynamic, 7.5-million euro EU initiative aimed at making artificial intelligence (AI) more transparent, explainable, and robust across a variety of sectors. Partners from eight EU member states, two associated countries (Switzerland and the United Kingdom), and Canada came together in the…
