Накратко на български

Интеграцията на социални науки и изкуствен интелект помага за създаването на енергоспестяващи технологии за дома, като например приложения за намаляване на разходите за ток и газ. Това е важно, за да се създаде по-екологично бъдеще и да се помогне на домакинствата в енергична бедност.

building GrEener and more sustainable soCieties by filling the Knowledge gap in social science and engineering to enable responsible artificial intelligence co-creatiOn

A gap existed in responsible AI research for sustainability across social and information sciences. Current connected home technologies (CHTs) lacked actionable, commercially valuable low-energy outcomes because AI systems failed to embed users’ values or reflect the complexity of domestic life. Responsible AI remained nascent due to disciplinary divides: AI sought to replace human reasoning, while social science aimed to inform it. GECKO addressed this gap by training future researchers and challenging conventional approaches, recognising that socio-technical solutions must reflect interrelations between people and technology to meet urgent sustainability needs. Effective responsible AI must integrate social science insights into human behaviour and technology interaction. GECKO’s key objectives were to: - develop conceptual information science and responsible AI methods for technology design; - examine how everyday life understanding can inform AI-driven, low-carbon home technologies; and - guide new human-centred information sciences for responsible, application-relevant AI. GECKO achieved these goals. It produced explainable, trustworthy AI for connected homes and energy management, delivering measurable savings—25–38% energy cost and up to 31% carbon footprint reductions on dairy farms, plus up to 30% electricity and 12% gas savings via the Hugo Pro App. Its social science research advanced intersectional, participatory AI, shaping local energy transitions from the Aran Islands to Dutch communities, where coaching lifted three-quarters of households out of energy poverty. Training 15 early-stage researchers now active across Europe, GECKO laid the groundwork for future responsible, human-centred AI that promotes sustainability and social equity.

Цел на проекта

GECKO will focus on accountable, responsible, and transparent artificial intelligence (ART AI) to address urgent environmental needs and support the European Green Deal and AI ecosystem, ensuring that all citizens benefit from the sustainable green transition. The EC AI flagship report highlights the need for the input of civil society to discuss values being embedded into AI (via social sciences) and responsible design practices (via information sciences) that encode societal values and guidelines into AI system so that they are ethical by design in order to build and retain trust in AI. ART AI is a promising approach for EU, but has not yet reached the level of maturity and urgent research and new research skills are needed to bridge the gap between disciplines. GECKO will establish a synergy between science, humanities, and technology research, currently missing, through a ground-breaking integrated research programme giving Europe a competitive global advantage. GECKO’s ambition is to create a sustainable, European-wide network with a critical and innovative mass, driving innovative, socio-technical AI, driving future policies with ground-breaking and responsible AI, reducing the carbon footprint of the domestic sector, tackling social justice in the energy sector, and leading the pathway towards the first carbon neutral continent. The ‘EU added-value’ for research excellence is unique as it includes: (i) a well-balanced mixture of world-leading expertise in social science, information science, and engineering not present in individual countries; (ii) industrial stakeholders covering different aspects of technology innovation across EU; (iii) access to diverse data, resources, and stakeholders across the EU enabling public debates in different fora to translate societal values into AI system design strategies; (iv) studying cross-country (-cultural) related issues related to home technology use in civil society, identifying commonalities and differences.
