Brussels now hosts a state-of-the-art public-oriented AI Test & Experience Center

Brussels, 24 March 2023 - Brussels' first public-oriented AI Test & Experience Center was officially inaugurated yesterday by State Secretary Barbara Trachte. The state-of-art facility will allow companies, institutes, policy-makers, and citizens to test, experiment, and to ultimately advocate for the development of technically robust, safe, and ethically compliant technologies. The facility is operated by FARI, the AI Center for the Common Good institute jointly set up by ULB and VUB, and supported by Innoviris and Paradigm.brussels. The FARI Test & Experience Center is set to primarily serve Belgium's most dense city with over 2.1 million residents. With a growth rate of approximately 0. Brussels faces various risks and challenges in different domains such as Public Health, Mobility, Climate and Energy, Resource Optimization, and Social Inclusivity. Funded through EU's Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) / Next GenerationEU, and with the support of Innoviris, and Paradigm.brussels, the Test & Experience Center will boost collaboration between governments, researchers, industries, and citizens in Brussels and beyond to address today's urban and sustainability problems.
