Open University of Cyprus launches new AI project

The Cyprus Center for Trustworthy AI (CyCAT) at the Open University of Cyprus (OUC) has launched a new project, PINNACLE (Public Engagement in AI Evaluation for Education and System Benchmarking), which is supported by the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation.

The OUC has said that the funding ( €150,000) will allow the OUC research team to perform initial scientific research, which will lead to the coordination of a proposal to extend the work via Horizon Europe.

In the first phase of the project, the OUC research team will offer a new edition of CyCAT’s online course “AI in Everyday Life”. The course, it added, which will start on 30 April 2025, will run for 8 weeks, and will introduce key concepts and application areas of modern AI.

The course will be offered in both Greek and English, assuming no technical background, without registration fees. However, participants will be expected to participate actively in the course exercises, which will contribute to the development of the PINNACLE mechanisms described above. Participants who complete the course will be the first to learn about the research results, and will receive a certificate of completion.
