Our Approach to Human-AI Collaboration

We are developing a framework to meet scientific requirements and protect the integrity of researchers. Referenced, high-quality outputs and fraud prevention measures increase the acceptance of the tool in the scientific community.

We take responsibility for our solution and ensure that users trust our tool appropriately and thus explain the risks of use, avoid them by design and therefore minimize their appearance.

Our approach to human-centred AI (HCAI) has two key aspects. First, we aim to maximise the degree of human control and ensure the user is kept in the loop. Second, product development is based on human-centred design principles.

Protecting sensitive scientific data is one of our core principles. This also ensures the novelty value of our users' hypotheses and research results is protected. To this end, we elaborate solutions to incorporate privacy by design.

We are challenging the status quo by developing a software architecture framework that complies with the EU AI Act and GDPR.

Our architecture is based on Zero Trust and Zero Knowledge principles. It uses a task-worker model where stateless workers, including on-premise deployments, execute tasks securely. Secrets are stored encrypted and only decrypted in-memory during execution. All data is handled through S3-compatible storage, whether cloud-based or on-premise. All operations are authenticated and governed by strict policies to ensure isolated and verifiable execution.

AI must be trustworthy, explainable, transparent, and responsible.
Environment and Knowledge overlap with Research & Design.

Design-Sciene Research

The insights gained from user research (e.g. user journeys, information needs and control) become design requirements for the generation of a user-friendly framework. Various design solutions are evaluated within the project scope and influence the translation of these design requirements interatively.

Calibrated Trust

Transparency about the system and its outputs should help users to feel an appropriate level of trust in it.

Scientific Integrity

The system should help to prevent fraud and plagiarism and protect the scientific integrity of users.

Human Agency

The system should give users control over its actions and thus remind them of their accountability.

Human-AI Collaboration

The system should serve as a sparring partner for users without compromising their own critical thoughts.

Data Security

The system should protect the user's data and provide information about its processing.

Privacy

The system should take effective measures to protect the personal data of others (including non-users of the system).

Technical Feasibility

AI solutions are developing rapidly. Their performance and range of services are constantly improving. To ensure the right solution can seamlessly integrate, a modular and scalable system is required. Technical limitations act as guardrails, guiding us towards a more responsible approach to AI.
