The two main objectives of the LivAI projectare to promote the creation of educational resources, such as a manual for understanding ethics in the field of data and artificial intelligence, and the implementation of an e-learning platform with the possibility of validating or certifying the acquired competences. LivAI is aimed at adults, mainly educators, educational institutions and adult learners.
