The European University, collaborating centre of the Catalonia Observatory of Ethics in Artificial Intelligence (OEIAC)
As of this July, eUniv is a collaborating centre of the Catalonia Observatory of Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, based at the University of Girona, under the Chair of the Observatory of Ethics in Artificial Intelligence.
The goal of OEIAC is to study the ethical, social, and legal consequences, as well as the risks and opportunities, of the implementation of AI in daily life, adopting a fully cross-disciplinary perspective.
The main strategic lines are:
a) Research the ethical and social impacts of AI.
b) Establish guidelines and best practices.
c) Carry out knowledge transfer.
d) Maintain relations with international organisations.
e) Collaborate with expert groups from around the world.
OEIAC has an operational structure that serves as a bridge between humanism, science, and technology, and ensures the dynamics of the quadruple helix, meaning the presence of the four key pillars in any innovative process: universities and research centres, public administration, the business sector, and citizens.
With this collaboration, eUniv takes another step towards internationalising its projects and establishing relationships with universities around the world.
