Around 60% of today’s jobs are affected by digital technology and artificial intelligence, necessitating novel/updated skills. This percentage is expected to rise exponentially, with 90% of jobs requiring transversal digital/AI skills. EthicAI4CARE aims to address the EU’s top priority through a brand-new training for boosting transversal digital skills integrating ethics by design and EU ethical values in teaching curricula.

In doing so, EthicAI4CARE operationalizes the EC’s Digital Strategy for Europe 2030 based on trustworthy AI that asks to rethink higher education to train professionals that use and «shape technology in a way that respects EU values».

To this aim, EthicAI4CARE focuses on the healthcare sector, where the lack of digital/AI skills is perceived as a main barrier to digital innovation and future employment. The EU parliament calls for leveraging EU projects to update educational programs in healthcare/medicine, increasing their interdisciplinarity with courses devoted to training educators, professionals, and students on both digital/AI systems and the ethical and legal implications they raise.

EthicAI4Care aims to address this call by integrating SSH and STEM in a new interdisciplinary ethics by design approach for trustworthy AI in healthcare through which upskilling university students and professors, and involving professionals in the field of healthcare to address the novel societal challenges and the labor market needs created by the advance and use of AI.
