Project Overview
The FORSEE (Forging Successful AI Applications for European Economy and Society) project is a collaborative effort funded by the European Union, coordinated by the University College Dublin. This project aims to provide sociologically informed insights into stakeholders' expectations and success criteria concerning AI systems. It will explore how these align with existing governance frameworks, such as the regulatory structure of the AI Act, and with other significant strategic priorities and values of the EU, particularly digital autonomy, sustainability, and fundamental rights. FORSEE aspires to develop a revised conceptualization of AI systems evaluation and a democratized approach to AI governance, informed by sociological research into real-world AI applications, institutional contexts, public discussions, and competing stakeholder perspectives.
