Humane AI is a very important project for all European countries, because we all know that in the US, artificial intelligence is mostly business oriented, you have to make money out of it. Other countries are more focused on how to control people, in order to know what they are doing and control their actions. In Europe according to the European spirit we are focused don what AI can do for people, how we can improve their way of life and also how can we make sure that AI is not detrimental to peoples lives, but to improve the quality of life, jobs and give them possibilities that they currently don’t have.

A bluesky research project that would fill a huge gap that there is currently in artificial intelligence but also in general in data mining is actually the lack of data. We talk a lot about bigdata, but there are not many data or its proprietary and it’s not very easy to study and research on this topic. For example, if you study social media, a lot of this data is owned by companies, so as a researcher you can only observe a small subset in that world.
