The recent UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, convened in Kranj, Slovenia, was an important platform for discussion against the backdrop of AI's exponential rise in usage across various public and private sectors. The Ministerial session was of particular interest for the GLACIATION project, as many speakers highlighted the imperative of balancing between leveraging AI's societal benefits and upholding ethical standards in its application.

The Forum represents an important platform for countries at various stages of AI adoption to engage in meaningful...

With climate change and environmental concerns the most pressing existential issue of the modern era, initiatives like GLACIATION and other CORDIS Horizon Europe Projects are pioneering solutions to minimise data-related environmental impact.

GLACIATION, at the forefront of innovation, uses a cutting-edge metadata fabric spanning edge-core-cloud architecture. Leveraging AI for data optimisation, GLACIATION aims to reduce the environmental impact of data movement and operations while maintaining privacy compliance. By optimising analytics locations, GLACIATION reduces carbon emissions...

ENG has contributed to the construction of the GLACIATION architecture that features a modular design emphasising flexibility, extensibility and seamless integration of new components across the edge-cloud continuum. Key macroblocks collectively address critical aspects of the project and each macroblock plays a specific role in achieving the objectives that will be elaborate further below. These macroblocks and their interaction will ensure intelligent data movement, robust security, energy efficiency, and effective orchestration.
