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.

Imagine checking your AI’s trust score before using it, much like checking a credit score before a loan. What if every AI system carried a dynamic trust index based on performance, fairness, user feedback, and regulatory compliance?

As Europe takes a historic step toward regulating artificial intelligence with the adoption of the EU AI Act, a critical question is gaining attention: can we ensure fairness in AI systems without meaningful human oversight?

This week THEMIS project partners gathered in Copenhagen at the Democracy-X offices for a two-day project meeting, an important milestone marking the midway point (18 months) into our mission to create a system that helps professionals assess and improve the trustworthiness of AI.

A new paper published in Electronics 2025 offers a breakthrough solution: the Trustworthiness Optimisation Process (TOP). Developed by researchers from the National Technical University of Athens and the University of Piraeus, and supported by the THEMIS 5.0 project, this methodology bridges the gap between high-level guidelines and real-world AI practice.
