Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Buchholz, from Ulm University, represented PoDIUM at the CONNECT project’s Workshop on Trustworthy AI, held at the Holm Centre at Frankfurt Airport on 25 and 26 March 2025. Bringing together AI experts, policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders, the workshop addressed the complexities of AI trustworthiness and aimed to establish a roadmap for overcoming key challenges in data governance, quality assessment, and bias mitigation. Given the increasing integration of AI into critical sectors such as 6G, transportation, and healthcare, ensuring reliability, transparency, and alignment with fundamental rights remains a top priority.
Structured around three panel discussions, the workshop provided a platform for fruitful discussions on the future of trustworthy AI with experts in the field, followed by interactive sessions to define a roadmap for AI trustworthiness, identifying challenges, needs, and long-term strategies to ensure AI trustworthiness.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Buchholz presented Ulm University’s work in PoDIUM, alongside insights from the EVENTS project, focusing on its data reliability estimation approaches, during the first panel on “Trustworthiness Assessment of Data in CCAM“. The session examined data reliability, data spaces, and standards, featuring experts from the AI4CCAM, AIthena, and SUNRISE projects.
