The TAG (Transparency in Algorithms Group) MRG has joined forces with SociAPS (Adaptive and Personalized Sociotechnical Systems) MRG to become fAIRE – Fairness and Ethics in AI – Human Interaction MRG. The group is co-led by Dr. Styliani Kleanthous (OUC – Melos SEP) and Dr. Jahna Otterbacher (OUC Associate Professor), and brings together the TAG MRG focus on human biases, accountability and transparency in AI processes and systems, with SociAPS MRG strengths surrounding user-algorithm feedback loops and algorithm-mediated communication. The team will continue its close collaboration with the Cyprus Center for Algorithmic Transparency (CyCAT) at OUC and will be growing!

OUC is a founding member of the CYENS Centre of Excellence, which aims to “produce world-class research that drives innovation towards social and economic benefit while conducting excellent, internationally competitive scientific research in the areas of visual sciences, human factors and design, communication, and artificial intelligence.”
