What is your organization’s role in the project? What unique contribution does it bring to the team?
NVCR serves as a technical partner across multiple work packages. The organization leads Pilot 7 in WP5, implementing an automated framework for digital solution deployment with a focus on regulatory compliance. NVCR also contributes significantly to developing synthetic test data, algorithms for AI trustworthiness assessment, and semantic MLOps engines that ensure alignment with EU regulations. NVCR also provides support in delivering the ontology that captures the entire AI system lifecycle, integrating legal, ethical, and technical dimensions to promote transparency and robustness. It will also provide essential support by focusing on secure data processing mechanisms that align with regulatory data management standards. NVCR will contribute to identity and access management and data connectors implementation, data lineage connector development, regulatory compliance tools design, and the creation of flexible and reusable RegOps workflows.
How do you think CERTAIN will contribute to the Artificial Intelligence landscape in Europe?
CERTAIN will transform Europe’s AI landscape by bridging the gap between regulations and implementation. By providing practical tools and frameworks, it will make compliance accessible to organizations of all sizes, democratizing access to the AI market and preventing regulatory barriers from limiting innovation to large corporations.
The project will position trust and ethical AI as a European competitive advantage globally, establishing certification processes that demonstrate commitment to European values around privacy, fairness, and transparency.By addressing AI’s environmental impact, CERTAIN will help establish Europe as a leader in sustainable AI development. The standardization of AI assessment frameworks will enable interoperability across the European digital market while maintaining consistent ethical standards.
Ultimately, CERTAIN will build public confidence in AI through transparent compliance mechanisms, contributing to greater societal acceptance of AI technologies.
