Research on Artificial Intelligence Grant Initiative (Denmark)

The overall initiative will, inter alia, support research projects that address ethical issues and research projects that focus on explainability in mathematical models to better understand their application (and/or research projects that manage to address both aspects).

Overall, the initiative aims to contribute to Denmark being able to maintain and attract research talent in an increasingly intensified international competition for technological development, including in relation to responsible artificial intelligence. Moreover, the initiative should support the development of research-based solutions with a focus on citizens’ rights, dignity, and independence.”
