A representative of ICI Bucharest participated in the Sibiu Innovation Days 2025 conference, held from 6 to 7 November 2025, where he delivered the presentation titled "Ethical AI in Healthcare Systems: Where Fairness Meets Clinical Reality". The intervention addressed how artificial intelligence systems for healthcare can be developed and used in ways that are fair, safe, and aligned with real clinical practice. The presentation discussed key topics, including the risk of algorithmic bias and its impact across different patient groups, the need for transparency and explainability of the models used by doctors, the governance of medical data and compliance with the regulatory framework, and the responsible integration of AI solutions into clinical workflows. Sibiu Innovation Days 2025, organised by the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, through the Hasso-Plattner Knowledge Transfer Institute, together with the CLUJ IT Cluster and the Sibiu IT Cluster, brought together academia, the IT industry, public administration, and other relevant actors. This year's edition had as its theme "The Emerging Technologies: Balancing Innovation, Risks, and Societal Impact", with a focus on generative artificial intelligence, quantum computing, sustainable technologies and digital transformation.
Developing and testing artificial intelligence solutions requires computing resources and technical expertise that not all companies have at their disposal. The services offered by the European BSC AI Factory project to address these needs were presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at GoTech World 2026, held on 10–11 November at Romexpo.
How can virtual and augmented reality technologies help people prepare for emergencies, improve interactions with public services, or create new ways of learning? These were among the applications presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at the “1st Regional Workshop to Strengthen the Central, Eastern European and Balkan Virtual Worlds Ecosystem”, held in Budapest, Hungary.
How can Europe prepare for the security challenges of the coming years, amid geopolitical instability, hybrid threats, and the rapid development of new technologies? These questions were at the heart of the conference “Towards Europe 2040: How Can We Anticipate Change and Build a Secure and Resilient Future?”, held in Bucharest on 9 November 2026 at the European Parliament Liaison Office in Romania.
