Advancing Trustworthy AI: Insights from the “Future Ready – On Demand Solutions with AI, Data and Robotics” Event in Brussels

The FAITH consortium had a strong presence  in Brussels, at the “Future Ready – On Demand Solutions with AI, Data and Robotics” event organised by the AI-on-Demand Platform and Adra – AI, Data & Robotics Association. ICCS–NTUA researcher Dimitris Apostolou presented ongoing work from three prominent European projects  that collectively drive the future of trustworthy, human-centred AI.

Highlighting Trust in AI Across European Research Projects

During the session, Apostolou emphasised core research of the Trustwoirhty AI lab taking place in the FAITH, THEMIS 5.0 and EXTREMEXP projects:

1. THEMIS 5.0: Accelerating the Shift Toward Trusted AI-Enabled Services

The Trustworhty AI lab is pushing forward the development of AI solutions that are fair, robust and accurate. The project aims to ensure that AI systems meet societal expectations regarding fairness, governance, and accountability, key pillars in Europe’s AI strategy.

2. FAITH: Optimising Trustworthiness Through Large-Scale Pilots

At the heart of the presentation was the FAITH project, which explores how large-scale experiments and real-world pilots can strengthen trustworthiness in AI-enabled public services. FAITH’s contribution focuses on measurable trust indicators, validation frameworks, and the integration of responsible AI-by-design principles—offering concrete methods for scaling trustworthy AI across Europe.

3. ExtremeXP: A New Paradigm of Experimentation-Driven Analytics

Apostolou also discussed a novel model of experimentation-driven data analytics developed in the ExtremeXP project. By enabling continuous, adaptive experimentation, ExtremeXP aims to support human oversight of data-driven solutions’ trustworhtiness with measurable impact.

Strengthening Europe’s AI Ecosystem

The session underlined how coordinated European efforts,from the AI-on-Demand Platform to Adra and Horizon Europe research projects, are jointly shaping a more resilient, transparent, and innovation-driven AI ecosystem. The contributions from ICCS–NTUA and the FAITH project reaffirm the importance of multidisciplinary research in building AI systems that citizens, businesses, and public administrations can trust.
