IDnow has joined the ACHILLES project, an EU-funded initiative aimed at addressing ethical and technical challenges in artificial intelligence. With a budget of 8 million euros, the project involves 16 partners and focuses on improving AI efficiency and trust while ensuring compliance with European regulations. IDnow will leverage its expertise in identity verification to create synthetic data that adheres to privacy standards like GDPR.
The ACHILLES project aims to tackle significant issues in the biometrics industry, such as data scarcity and bias, by utilizing synthetic data. This approach is expected to enhance the robustness of algorithms while reducing reliance on real data, which is increasingly complicated by regulations like the EU's AI Act. The project will run for four years, with objectives that include developing ethical frameworks and optimizing data annotation processes.
