An ethical evaluation framework
for trustworthy AI in CCAM

The AIthena project has reviewed and adapted existing ethical frameworks to address the specific challenges of Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) applications. New frameworks are proposed where necessary to address gaps in current methodologies.

The project includes a human-centric methodological checklist that makes concepts such as fairness, accountability, privacy and transparency practical and actionable for developers and regulators. These guidelines provide detailed information on how to evaluate the social impact of AI technologies and ensure that they contribute positively to societal well-being.

The CCAM solutions developed concerning AI will affect a range of stakeholders, including autonomous vehicle (AV) users, non-AV users such as pedestrians and cyclists, CCAM solution developers, and decision-makers.

Understanding the key requirements of these user groups is essential, with a focus on their mobility needs, expectations and concerns related to CCAM implementation. This is outlined in AITHENA’s Deliverable D1.2 (User group needs report and technical use case definition).
