The interdisciplinary research centre in Cyprus is dedicated to Trustworthy AI.
We inform and educate people to enhance Human-AI interaction and collaboration, together with other researchers around the world.
About CyCAT
The Cyprus Center for Trustworthy AI (CyCAT) is hosted at the Open University of Cyprus, the second public university in Cyprus and the only one dedicated to open and distance education.
We collaborate with other researchers internationally and have recently teamed up with four leading universities across Europe and Israel through an H2020 Twinning grant. Our team holds key expertise in the algorithmic processes involved in information access, user interactions with algorithmic systems, user-system interaction, as well as the social and cultural implications of algorithmic processes.
Our Key Objectives:
- Promote digital and AI literacy through raising citizens’ awareness of the ways in which data analytics and algorithmic processes affect their access to information and opportunities
- Develop computational methods, personalized tools, and innovative training programs to support the responsible and trustworthy development and deployment of AI.
- Promote a culture of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) to ensure ethical AI practices.
