Summary
EcoAI aims at creating a new regulatory framework for an ecological AI to align AI development with sustainability, bridging gaps in scholarly efforts but also providing policy suggestions to EU institutions, facilitating evidence-based decision making, and ensuring that the proposed regulatory framework is a blueprint both for technology regulation more broadly, and for non-EU Countries (Brazil will be a case study in this respect). Other Countries’ legislation could also be influenced by signing cooperation agreement on the sustainable use of AI. It is for this reason that EcoAI aims also at drafting a proposal for an agreement between the EU and Brazil to strengthen their cooperation in addressing the global challenge of climate change using AI. To build this new framework and the proposal for an agreement on AI for the public good between the EU and Brazil, I will develop and test in intersectoral practical environments and in two different legal frameworks, i.e. EU and Brazil, the innovative concept of “Ecological AI”: the possibility of using AI in an “ecological” way for the public good, in accordance with the fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU . To reach this objective, EcoAI has a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging law, computer science, and political sciences, with some exposure to sociology, taking into primary account the needs of the public and private sector, and those of citizens, who are the category mainly exposed to the negative effects of climate change. To ensure the successful implementation of these project goals, to gain new skills and competences, and to identify solutions to two of the biggest challenges of our time, the University of Siena (UNISI) and the University of San Paolo (USP) are the most appropriate venues. This research directly contribute to achieving Horizon Europe, the European Green Deal, the European Data Strategy, the Digital Compass 2030 Targets, and the SDGs.
