The SAFEXPLAIN project was thrilled to receive the visit of Stanley Wang, Director of the Digital Transformation Research Institute, part of the Institute for Information Industry (III) on 07 November 2024.

Mr Wang joined project coordinator Jaume Abella and Francisco J. Cazorla in person to visit the new MareNostrum 5 supercomputer located at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Barcelona and to discuss their common interest in promoting TrustworthyAI for Critical Systems.

Members of the SAFEXPLAIN consortium have been collaborating with the III since the keynote delivered by EXIDA Development’s Carlo Donzella at the 2024 InnoVex Forum in Taiwan in June 2024. The keynote was extremely well received and resulted in many follow up conversations to promote the exchange of information in supporting Trustworthy AI for Critical Systems development,

Following this invitation to speak at InnoVex, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the SAFEXPLAIN project and III with the intention of:

  • Encouraging and supporting increased interaction between EU’s and Taiwan’s organizations with specific interests in Trustworthy AI for Critical Systems
  • Promoting the identification of projects that can attract funding to support Trustworthy AI for Critical Systems collaboration between EU and Taiwan; and
  • Establishing networks for Trustworthy AI for Critical Systems
