Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and all the key digital technologies that are subsumed by the term AI today are an essential
part of the answers to many of the daunting challenges that we are facing. AI will impact the everyday lives of citizens
as well as all business sectors. To maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks, Europe focuses on humancentered
Trustworthy AI, and is taking important steps towards becoming the worldwide centre for Trustworthy AI.
Trustworthiness however still requires significant basic research, and it is clear that the only way to achieve this is
through the integration of learning, optimisation and reasoning, as neither approach will be sufficient on its own.
The purpose of TAILOR is to build a strong academic-public-industrial research network with the capacity of
providing the scientific basis for Trustworthy AI leveraging and combining learning, optimization and reasoning for
realizing AI systems that incorporate the safeguards that make them in the reliable, safe, transparent and respectful
of human agency and expectations. Not only the mechanisms to maximize benefits, but also those for minimizing
harm.
