EUSAir is an EU project for building AI sandboxes and related guidelines.
AI regulatory sandboxes are closed test environments where innovations can be developed, tested and validated. They will enable developers and providers of AI applications and solutions to verify their regulatory compliance before they are placed on the market and avoid fines for breaching the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
The EUSAir project will develop EU-wide guidance on the implementation of AI regulatory sandboxes in line with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act.
The key objectives are to collect the key requirements related to AI sandboxes, create a concept for sandboxes implementation, and pilot sandboxes in three different pilots (Italy, Spain and Finland).
The project will also produce training materials and disseminate information on the established guidelines to all Member States.
The project is built around European supercomputer clusters, with Italy (ICSC), Spain (BSC) and Finland (CSC) at its core. There are 13 partners from seven different European countries, coordinated by the University of Bologna in Italy. The Finnish participants include IT Center for Science (CSC), University of Turku and Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.
