Dr Ulrich Leicht-Deobald is an associate professor at Trinity Business School, and a participant in this project that is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is the development of a methodology for the design of fair AI applications. The methodology will help guide stakeholders when considering the usage of AI in a socially responsible way, and will make it possible to train software developers in ethical topics.

Appropriate governance oversight frameworks are critical to support the effective governance of universities. This has been confirmed by the Irish Higher Education Authority (HEA) Act 2022.
