The THEMIS 5.0 Mission
About Us
THEMIS draws researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines to ensure that AI-driven hybrid decision support is trustworthy. In order to achieve this, THEMIS aim to create an ecosystem through which AI-driven hybrid decision making is in accordance with particular human user decision support needs and moral values, whilst additionally adhering with the key success indicators of the embedding socio-technical environment.
Co-create an innovative AI-driven and human-centric trustworthiness optimisation ecosystem
OUR MISSION
The THEMIS Consortium
BUILT UPON THE PRINCIPLES OF:
Partners

INCREASING TRUSTWORTHINESS IN AI FOR:
The THEMIS ecosystem is composed of cloud-based AI-services that seamlessly engage with humans by means of AI-driven interactive dialogues.
Specifically, an AI-driven conversational agent will transmit sufficient but not excessive human-interpretable explanations on how the AI system takes a particular set of inputs and reaches a conclusion. At the same time, it will intelligently elicit the knowledge related to human particular decision support needs and moral values, as well as to the key business goals of the embedding socio-technical system.
This interaction will enable the execution of continuous trustworthiness improvement processes where at each trustworthiness improvement cycle, human-centred assessment of the trustworthiness of the AI system will take place and corrective actions will be determined ahead of the next improvement cycle.
