The Ethical and Trustworthy AI Lab at Illinois Institute of Technology鈥檚 Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions is an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in the social and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The group investigates philosophical, ethical, and social aspects of AI, including trustworthiness and the question of what makes AI uses ethical, just, and trustworthy; the roles of ethics codes, ethical guidelines, and policy-making in the regulation of AI technology; and AI applications in agriculture and medical contexts.
We seek to involve stakeholders from all fields, such as computer science, technology, engineering, philosophy, social sciences, practitioners, and students, in an interdisciplinary reflection on the ethical uses of AI.
We collaborate closely with the AI@IllinoisTech initiative, particularly its AI Ethics Working Group (AIEWG) and the international Z-Inspection庐 network. The Z-Inspection庐 assessment method for Trustworthy AI is based on the by the European Commission High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence. Z-Inspection庐 is listed in the new .

Pilot Project with the Province of Frysl芒n, Rijks ICT Gilde & the Z-Inspection庐锔 Initiative.
The pilot project took place from May 2022 through January 2023. During the pilot, the practical application of a deep learning algorithm from the province of Fr欧slan was assessed. The AI maps heathland grassland by means of satellite images for monitoring nature reserves.
