Who we are
CERTAIN stands for “Center for European Research in Trusted AI” and focuses on an approach that highlights the issue of “trust” in AI systems – an aspect that is often neglected in international research. The aim is to develop new technologies that provide functional and other guarantees for AI systems.
CERTAIN is a consortium, a collaborative initiative involving various partners, legally part of DFKI, focused on researching, developing, deploying, standardizing, and promoting Trusted AI techniques, with the aim of providing guarantees for and certification of AI systems, and it allows for project collaboration with both internal and external partners.
