Dr. Begoña Mateo Martínez, Lead Researcher – Human Factors at Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV) has participated in AIthena workshop, bringing “exciting insights (from it) exploring the application of the AIthena methodology to ensure trustworthy AI in the BERTHA project.”

The workshop focused on exploring the application of the AIthena methodology to ensure trustworthy AI in CCAM applications. Key aspects of AI reliability, including data anonymization and GDPR compliance, were discussed. The session also examined how AIthena’s approach can be integrated into various use cases, such as the Bertha project’s probabilistic driver behavior models. Practical demonstrations showcased the application of data anonymization pipelines and AI trustworthiness principles in CCAM scenarios.
