etami

etami focusses on making AI a reliable and trustworthy technology. It does so by focussing on the social, legal and business risks associated with AI systems, rethinking AI lifecycle models to optimise quality in AI, and promoting auditing throughout the system’s life cycle. etami’s solutions are piloted across different domains, and coupled with proper software tooling.

There are many challenges on this path. For instance, questions around fairness and non-discrimination, at the heart of trustworthy and ethical AI, are yet to be fully understood in the current literature, let alone deemed solved from a corporate process’s standpoint. Human oversight is technically challenging, while data documentation tools are yet to be established.

etami started in 2019 as an independent initiative. BDVA, with its large and diverse set of members, helps etami to develop what is crucially missing in the AI landscape: the bridge between solid research and its translation into a reliable and trustworthy engineering practice, while keeping universal ethical values at the centre.

The BDVA Task Force etami is currently focused on: 

• Explore current trends and key topics beyond the AI Act. It is key to understand the next calls, ideas and trends for Trustworthy AI and Risk management that can have an impact on AI, industry and society
• To identify current practices, services that can be used by the industry to support the industry on adoption or to facilitate the analysis and understanding of technology adoption from any of the trustworthy AI dimensions.
• To understand the current market status, gaps and opportunities to embrace any of the new technologies or to advance on any of the strategic ones that can bring benefits to industry and society.
