The Second World Z-inspection® Conference took place on 23-24 August, 2024, in Hamburg, Germany.

We all are aware that (generative) AI can bring ethical challenges, so it is crucial to push forward ideas and developing concepts to make AI trustworthy.

The event addressed critical challenges facing AI systems today, including navigating complex technical, ethical, regulatory frameworks, and adapting to evolving standards.

The conference brought together a diverse group of AI professionals who shared their knowledge, experiences, and innovative approaches to advancing trustworthy AI across multiple sectors. The discussions were truly enriching and underscored the importance of collaboration in this dynamic field.

Also, the event highlighted Z-inspection’s critical role in assessing AI’s trustworthiness in real-world applications, both in Europe and globally. Impactful areas were explored, including healthcare (clinical decision-making, medical robotics), education, environmental monitoring and protection, and Cloud-Edge Technology.

MANOLO project to ensure AI trustworthiness and legal compliance development and operation by design will adhere to Trustworthy AI principles via the adaptation of the Z-inspection® methodology and will serve to help AI systems conform to the new AI Act regulation.

A special thank you to Magnus Westerlund, from ARCADA, and Apostolos Tsolakis from Q-PLAN, for presenting the MANOLO project, showcasing our innovative solutions in Trustworthy AI systems.

Magnus Westerlund, Principal Lecturer said, “The Z-Inspection process reveals that trustworthy AI systems are those designed with both conscience and code.”

Apostolos Tsolakis, Senior Project Manager said,“Trustworthiness is more important than ever as we are entering an era where AI systems interact with other AI systems”
