Registrations are now open for a one-day Training in Digital Ethics, organised within the Horizon Europe AIOLIA project (Artificial Intelligence in Human Cognition and Behaviour), in which ERCIM is a project partner. The training is delivered by INESC TEC, an ERCIM member institute, and explores the ethical challenges arising from AI systems that shape human decision-making and interaction.
The course will take place 28 October 2025 at INESC TEC in Porto, Portugal, and is intended for early-career researchers, PhD students, and professors working in computer science, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies. Through lectures, discussions, and practical exercises, participants will gain an understanding of the main ethical principles of trustworthy AI and learn how to identify and address ethical issues throughout the AI system lifecycle.
The afternoon session focuses on applying AI ethics in practice. Using real-world case studies developed within AIOLIA, participants will explore ethical trade-offs—for example, between safety, privacy, explainability, non-discrimination, and human autonomy—and examine practical measures for responsible AI design and governance.
The training will be led by Alexei Grinbaum and Alexandra Prégent (CEA-Saclay), together with Laurynas Adomaitis (RISE Research Institutes of Sweden), internationally recognised experts in AI ethics and governance. Participation is free of charge, but places are limited and registration is required. Researchers interested in integrating ethical reflection into AI research and development are encouraged to apply early.
