The Responsible AI Chair (RAIDAC+) is a transdisciplinary initiative that integrates pioneering research in AI privacy, fairness, transparency, and robustness with cutting-edge expertise in AI regulation, law, and policy. As AI systems become ubiquitous—governing access to social services, guiding decisions in healthcare, informing public security strategies, and even facilitating novel neurotechnologies—they confront us with urgent ethical, legal, and societal challenges. Building on the solid foundations of two distinct yet complementary approaches—(1) the “Responsible AI” project focused on privacy risks, fairness, and explainability, and (2) the “Legal and Regulatory Implications of AI” Chair (AI-Regulation.com) that addressed legal and governance frameworks (GDPR, EU AI Act, Law Enforcement Directive…)—RAIDAC+ uniquely unites computer scientists, legal scholars, and industry partners. Together, we aim to help data-driven innovation in Europe through ethically sound, legally compliant, and socially beneficial AI technologies.
ACTIVITIES
RAIDAC+ will be actively expanding its research activities, with a particular focus on privacy in emerging technologies. In particular, the Chair works on the development of technical foundations for responsible AI, including privacy-preserving methods, fairness-aware models, and explainable AI. Furthermore, it analyzes and operationalizes AI regulation and policy, translating complex legal frameworks like the GDPR and EU AI Act into actionable guidelines and compliance tools.
Last but not lease, the Chair applies these integrated technical and legal strategies to real-world scenarios, such as facial recognition in public spaces, cognitive security, and military applications of AI, to ensure practical applicability and address societal impact.
To support these research activities, the Chair will recruit by November 2025 two research fellows, which will work respectively on the interplay between the AI Act with the Health Data Space Regulation (EHDS) and on the implementation of AI governance across the EU. At the end of the same year, we will be recruiting two PhD students in the framework of a co-tutelle agreement with ÉTS Montréal. One student will concentrate on the technical challenges of privacy explainability, while the other will explore privacy risks associated with brain imaging, with a focus on data publication and sharing. Together, these projects will strengthen our chair’s expertise at the intersection of privacy, data protection, and responsible innovation.
