New approaches for Human/AI collaboration for the workforce of the future (RIA) (Made in Europe and AI, Data and Robotics partnerships)

Expected Outcome:Industrial jobs are transformed through AI-based human-machine interactions (and skills linked to them) which enhance flexibility, inclusion, well-being, up-skilling, career evolution and knowledge sharing;Increased competitiveness and sustainability of advanced manufacturing industries by means of knowledge formalization and adaptability of the machines to workers and markets based on different cultures. Scope:Innovative AI approaches are poised to revolutionise human-machine collaboration in factories by fostering an environment where technology and human expertise synergistically enhance each other.

NEWS - JOURNALISM PARTNERSHIPS - COLLABORATIONS

Scope:The news media sectors play a crucial role in the diversity, independence and trustworthiness of the information space. Despite being essential to our democracies, these sectors are facing multiple challenges. The economic sustainability of professional journalism has come under pressure, partially as a result of the digital transformation, with readers shifting to online sources and traditional news outlets losing advertising revenues. Many media at the local level as well as those focusing on public interest mission news struggle to survive, which may weaken media pluralism as well as engagement and trust in democracy.In line with the European Democracy Shield, this call addresses media challenges and opportunities of a transnational nature by supporting projects specialising in:Topic 1. “Journalism Partnerships - Collaborations” This topic seeks to help the wider European news media sector become more sustainable and resilient, including small media.
