AI Awards – Trustworthy AI 

Bratislava, November 20th 2023 – The AI Awards – Trustworthy AI was announced and registration opened at the ITAPA conference earlier today. The AI Awards – Trustworthy AI focuses on the importance of developing and deploying trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) systems in accordance with ethical standards. Trustworthy AI is a key factor in the growing world of technology and has an impact on various areas of human society.

The AI Awards – Trustworthy AI seeks out and recognizes organizations or individuals who develop and implement AI systems with the principles of trustworthy and human-centered AI in mind. This initiative highlights the connection between AI and ethics, and opens the debate on ethical issues surrounding AI’s impact on human autonomy, reliability, security and privacy. “Trustworthy AI is not just a set of rules and standards, but an important step towards building technologies that are developed in a responsible way. The AI Awards – Trustworthy AI aims to recognize and support initiatives that follow this path,” says  Mária Bieliková, KInIT CEO and  CERAI Chair.

The AI Awards is a national award that highlights the efforts of Slovak developers and providers of AI systems. The award is open to Slovak companies or individuals who have successfully developed an AI system or who cooperate with foreign partners in the field of AI on the Slovak market.
