Four pioneering European-funded research and innovation projects – DataPACT, ACHILLES, CERTAIN, and ACCOMPLISH – have launched the DICE Alliance (short for Data, Innovation, Compliance, Ethics) to accelerate progress in developing trustworthy, secure, and efficient data ecosystems across Europe.
DataPACT strives to embed compliance, ethics, and environmental sustainability at the heart of data and AI operations. Together with ACHILLES, CERTAIN, and ACCOMPLISH, we are forging interoperable frameworks, harmonised standards, and shared use-cases that can scale across sectors, ensuring Europe’s data ecosystems are secure, sovereign, and deeply trustworthy.
Titi Roman, Project Coordinator of DataPACT
ACHILLES focuses on AI compliance and best practices, and innovates through an iterative development cycle embodied in an IDE that bridges stakeholders across the AI lifecycle. Together with DataPACT, CERTAIN and ACCOMPLISH, we will leverage governance and data-sharing strengths to co-create and test common building blocks, avoid duplication, and offer regulators and industry a coherent path to adoption.
André V. Carreiro, Project Coordinator of ACHILLES
CERTAIN is exploring next-generation tools to ensure trust and compliance in the Euopean data and AI economy, including privacy of data and fairness of AI systems . Joining this partnership means we can test and co-develop components with like-minded experts, which leads to more robust and widely usable outcomes.
Claude Bauzou, Project Coordinator of CERTAIN
The increasing number of regulations on data management and AI makes regulatory compliance a crucial challenge for businesses. Our idea is to leverage Artificial Intelligence itself to automate and simplify compliance processes, so companies can verify and certify that their activities adhere to current regulations.
Michele Sesana, Project Coordinator of ACCOMPLISH
