The Starting Point

- There is a lack of standards and best practices
- The expertise in reliable and responsible AI is available, but not bundled
Our Objective
- Companies have a strategy for using AI reliably
- Networking brings together experience and expertise
- Stakeholders know their responsibilities and fulfill them
- Human-centered methods and tools are available for companies
- Standards for reliable AI systems in the work context have been implemented
- The Ruhr metropolis’ employer attractiveness is growing
