The PINNACLE project (BRIDGE2HORIZON/0823E/0203), co-funded by the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation under the BRIDGE2HORIZON program, responds directly to this challenge by developing participatory AI evaluation, combining bottom-up (user-driven) and top-down (researcher-guided) approaches. Through structured tasks integrated into public AI education programs, PINNACLE enables users to engage with AI applications critically, evaluate their trustworthiness, and reflect on their own trust, thereby fostering AI literacy and providing actionable insights for both researchers and policymakers.

The AI4Everyone project, funded by the EU’s Erasmus+ Programme under agreement 2025-1- CY01-KA220-HED-000364525, brings together universities from five European countries to address the pressing need for citizens to gain a deeper understanding of AI’s role in everyday life within today’s data-driven paradigm.  By examining the ethical and social implications of AI’s widespread use, the project seeks to empower learners to make informed decisions, critically evaluate AI applications, and understand both their potential benefits and inherent risks.
