The CNR, with the ICAR and IIT institutes, is a partner of the European Human Centered Artificial Intelligence Masters (HCAIM) project which, together with other European universities, research centers and companies, will create a cutting-edge training course to allow graduates to develop advanced artificial intelligence systems, with the right combination of technological skills and ethical knowledge.

The goal of the HCAIM master is the strengthening of analytical, design and creative skills to achieve artificial intelligence innovations capable of integrating human-centered systems and applications. In fact, in a data-rich world, artificial intelligence can help solve significant challenges for society, but it can also represent a risk. The use of AI must therefore take into account legal and ethical aspects, respecting human rights.

The project, which was ranked first in the call of the CEF-TC programme, on the European Platform for Digital Skills and Jobs, aims to achieve a 60 ECTS Master in Artificial Intelligence. It makes use of the experience of 4 European Universities (Technological University Dublin, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, University of Naples Federico II), 3 Centres of Excellence (CNR, CeAdar, ESI CEE) and 3 SMEs (Real AI, Nathean Technologies, Citel Group), plus over 25 more leading ICT organizations who have offered to support the programme.

The Master will be open to students and professionals with a first level degree and a solid technological background. Knowledge of programming and basic statistics will be required to undertake the program. The learning method, based on challenges and problems, will better prepare students for the situations they are likely to face in the “real” world.

The Master will start in the autumn of 2022.

It is possible to be updated on the project through the HCAIM institutional website and Linkedin and Twitter channels.
