Artificial Intelligence Governance and Resilience

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how Europe manages risk, climate, infrastructure and public services. With that opportunity comes a duty to govern AI responsibly and to ensure that the systems we increasingly depend on are themselves resilient. SoReCC works at the meeting point of AI, governance and societal resilience, helping partners deploy these technologies in ways that are trustworthy, accountable and robust.

Our interest is twofold. First, we examine how AI can strengthen resilience: improving risk assessment, early warning, climate modelling and decision support across the domains in which we work. Second, we examine the governance and dependability of AI itself, addressing transparency, accountability, ethical use, bias and the new vulnerabilities that automated systems introduce into critical functions. We treat AI not as a black box but as a socio-technical system that must earn public trust.

SoReCC contributes governance frameworks, ethics and societal acceptance expertise, and the engagement capacity to involve citizens and stakeholders in shaping how AI is used. We help partners align with the regulatory environment and embed responsible innovation from the outset. This positions us strongly for work packages on ethics, governance, trustworthiness, dissemination and societal uptake.

Our work aligns with the European approach to trustworthy AI, the EU AI Act and the Horizon Europe cluster on Digital, Industry and Space, while cutting across the climate, security and societal domains where AI is now applied. It contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 9, 16 and 11.

SoReCC offers a partner able to bridge AI capability, ethical governance and public trust, ensuring that intelligent systems serve society safely and resiliently.
