Vucable evaluated the ethical risks inherent to the development of 9 use cases harnessing data to tackle climate change effect in cities (Ferrara, Graz, Leuven and Zaragoza).
USAGE (Urban Data Space for Green Deal) provides solutions and mechanisms for making city-level environmental and climate data available to everyone based on FAIR principles, like: innovative governance mechanisms, consolidated arrangements, AI-based tools, and data analytics to share, access, and use city-level data from Earth Observation (EO), Internet of Things (IoT), authoritative and crowdsources, leveraging on standards for data and service interoperability.
The outputs consisted in an assessment of the pilots following a methodology using Ethics guidelines for trustworthy AI. We also gave actionable recommendations to mitigate potential risks at different phases of the solutions lifecycle.
