To provide a testing and experimentation facility for AI and robotics in cities and communities and make their resources accessible to EU cities, communities and innovative industry stakeholders (including SMEs) that would enable them to validate novel AI-driven services in close-to-real-life environments before their further massive deployment
To maximise the uptake of AI-powered solutions in smart cities and communities and to maximise the impact on the smart cities and communities’ services and competitiveness and maximize the impact on AI innovators

Priorities

Priority 1: provide the expertise and infrastructure necessary for the design and implementation of AI testing methodologies in real-world environments within technological readiness levels from six to eight
Priority 2: support technology providers in validating in real-world environments their state-of-the art AI solutions already tested in the lab, in order to assess the suitability of the solutions to meet the needs of the sector
Priority 3: focus mainly on the technical aspects and the performance expected by the users
Priority 4: facilitate compliance with the upcoming regulatory framework for AI, and they may support standardisation activities

Among financed actions

Testing processes, methodologies and metrics, established through the involvement of the necessary expertise to ensure representativeness of the requirements and to maximize acceptance, reputation and trust of validation process, expected to become a reference in Europe
Professional services support on technical aspects of AI testing
Access to the necessary digital infrastructure, as appropriate
If necessary, support services in other relevant areas such as business, legal and ethical compliance and verification/certification, including for compliance with requirement from the future regulatory framework for AI
