As part of the New European Bauhaus Festival, THEMIS 5.0 was proud to be represented at the DIGISET Forum, a satellite event hosted by CollectiveUP and FARI – AI for the Common Good Institute in Brussels. Bringing together experts from across the fields of artificial intelligence, social economy, civic participation and innovation, the forum explored how AI can contribute to more inclusive, sustainable and democratic societies. Representing THEMIS 5.0, Adam Doulgerakis of

As the project enters its final phase, partners are focusing on integrating and validating the various components that make up the THEMIS platform. While each tool provides value on its own, the real strength of THEMIS lies in how these components connect and complement one another in our integrated platform for trustworthy AI.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in public services, ensuring that AI systems are not only efficient, but also trustworthy and accountable, is becoming a key challenge for organisations across Europe. This question was at the heart of the AI-Enabled Public Services: Building Resilience and Accountability webinar, held on 30 April 2026 and co-organised by the European-funded projects THEMIS 5.0, HumAIne, TANGO and AIXPERT.

Significant progress was demonstrated in the integration of multiple THEMIS tools into a single platform experience. With the next stage of integrated platform testing scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, our team spent considerable time reviewing workflows, user journeys, and how different components interact across the healthcare, ports, and media pilots.

Professor Mentzas highlighted several emerging risks associated with Agentic AI that existing governance frameworks were not originally designed to address. These include: Goal misalignment between human intentions and AI objectives Cascading failures across multi-agent systems Indirect prompt injection attacks Persistent memory poisoning Unpredictable interactions between autonomous agents As AI systems become more autonomous, these challenges create ne

For years, the conversation around artificial intelligence has revolved around a single, urgent question: can we trust it? In 2026, that question is starting to feel incomplete. A quieter, more complex issue is emerging beneath the surface, one that is far less discussed, and far less regulated. What happens when people trust AI too much?

The TRUST-AI 2025 workshop in Bologna, organised as part of the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) and supported by THEMIS 5.0 and its consortium partners, including SINTEF, University of Piraeus & ICCS, NTUA, University of Southampton, KU Leuven, Centre for IT & IP Law, ATC- Athens Technology Centre, Institute of Philosophy & Technology, and Engineering, offers one of the clearest windows into how researchers and practitioners across Europe are trying to

Europe is having a defining moment with artificial intelligence. Not because it is building the biggest models or attracting the most investment, but because it is trying to answer a harder question: can AI be trusted?

Last week, partners of the THEMIS 5.0 project gathered in Valencia for the project’s 4th Plenary Meeting, hosted by Fundación Valenciaport. Over two days, researchers, technologists, and policy experts came together to review progress, align on next steps, and strengthen collaboration as the project moves into a crucial phase of integration and piloting.

The EU AI Act correctly insists on human oversight. Its intention is clear and necessary: ensure that humans can analyse, intervene, and improve AI-driven decisions. However, this creates a paradox. Placing a human 'in the loop' does not automatically guarantee real judgment, real veto power, and real cognitive engagement. In fact, poorly designed oversight requirements can make organisations more fragile, because they rely on a form of human presence that is nominal rathe

THEMIS is proud to join the 2026 STEM Discovery Campaign as an official partner, supporting one of the most prominent international initiatives coordinated by Scientix to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. Co‑organised this year with the NBS Academy project , the campaign invites educators, organisations, libraries, schools, universities, youth clubs and all interested stakeholders worldwide to celebrate STEM careers and studies. What began a

On 28 January 2026, the THEMIS 5.0 project contributed to the online webinar “From Command to Collaboration: Reimagining the Human–AI Relationship”, jointly organised with the EU-funded projects THEMIS 5.0, TANGO, AI4REALNET, HumAInE, PEER AI and COMFORTage. The event brought together more than 50 participants from research, policy, and practice communities across Europe.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a niche technology, it’s woven into medicine, education, public services, content moderation, and even democratic discourse. Yet, alongside AI’s promise comes a pressing question that THEMIS is uniquely positioned to explore:

Recent UK research on traditional media in the age of AI, by OnePoll for 72point, shows something striking: about 44% of UK adults say they trust artificial intelligence to deliver more truthful and factual information than they trust the government (38%), and social media influencers (24%). While traditional news outlets remain the most trusted at 55%.

Every day, artificial intelligence becomes more woven into our decisions, in hospitals, ports, newsrooms, and beyond. Yet despite the promises of transparency and accountability, one question remains stubbornly open: do we actually trust AI?

Joan Meseguer Llopis from Fundación Valenciaport, recently participated as a speaker in the workshop “Artificial Intelligence from the Social Perspective,” organized by Forética at NTT DATA’s offices in Madrid, as part of the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Forum.

New policy brief AI, Your Way: Trusted, Scalable, and Ready to Deliver, which distills insights from the AI, Data and Robotics Forum (ADRF) 2025 workshop co-organized by five Horizon Europe projects: THEMIS 5.0, TANGO, AI4RealNet, PEER AI, and HumAIne.

At THEMIS 5.0, our mission is to help people assess and improve the trustworthiness of AI systems so that AI can deliver its benefits without undermining human values, fairness, or transparency. To illustrate why our work matters, let’s compare what recent U.S. data shows with what we’re learning (and building) in Europe, and how THEMIS is part of the solution. We'll come to a conclusion on the differences of American vs. European Trust in AI.

Imagine this: You’re in a hospital waiting room. Two people give you the wrong diagnosis, one is a human doctor, the other an AI system. Most of us would forgive the human after all even doctors make mistakes, but we lose faith in the AI instantly.
