The 3 UA Ruhr partners– TU Dortmund University, Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen– collectively support RC Trust, which has actually been under development since 2021. Up until now, 12 research professorships and one junior professorship have actually been filled. The UA Ruhr has actually hired several leading international scientists, including from Japan and England. In addition, there are 4 Young Investigator Groups, 11 postdocs and 32 doctoral researchers. With a human-centered method, RC Trust’s researchers cover the complete interdisciplinary spectrum: from trustworthy data analysis and explainable device discovering to cybersecurity and data governance.
In a video message for the celebration, Minister President Hendrik Wüst said: “Our goal is clear: North Rhine-Westphalia will become Europe’s leading digital area and an AI hotspot. To make that happen, public approval is essential. The Proving Ground Trustworthy Data Science and Security is a crucial increase to cybersecurity research study. Here, trust and security take spotlight. Just if individuals trust new technologies can we harness their complete capacity.” Ina Brandes, North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of Culture and Science, underscored the social relevance of the center’s research study concerns in her video message: “Here in the heart of the Ruhr region, a place is emerging where the pressing questions of our digital society are checked out with scientific excellence and curiosity. Expert system, big information or cybersecurity– the crucial issue is no longer whether however how these innovations enter into our daily lives: properly, transparently and safely. That is what the Proving Ground Trustworthy Data Science and Security of the Research study Alliance Ruhr stands for.”
Research study on safe and secure and robust IT systems
RC Trust’s researchers develop secure and robust IT systems that stay trusted even when confronted with brand-new information, disruptions or targeted attacks. Interdisciplinary groups likewise study when and why individuals trust AI and where the limitations lie. They develop applications that keep users in control and make decisions traceable, for example in digital health, public administration or education.
