TRUST is a Norwegian research centre dedicated to building the foundations of trustworthy AI. Its mission is to enable AI systems that are accurate, interpretable, inclusive, fair, safe, sustainable, and well-governed. By uniting expertise from the fields of computational and data science, law, social sciences, and philosophy, the centre will establish a new framework for advancing trustworthy AI and seek to produce ground-breaking results tested on real-world problems.  

In advancing trustworthy AI, TRUST will develop new AI technologies, support innovation, and investigate the societal consequences of AI, including the effects of AI on democracy, rule of law, and the environment. With a consortium of over 77 partners from academia, industry, government and civil society in Norway and internationally, TRUST’s research is theoretical, methodological, legal, and empirical, and the results will be tested in real-world contexts, such as healthcare, mobility, governance, security, and climate resilience. Users, citizens, and civil society organisations will also be involved in evaluating the trustworthiness of the research and innovation.  

Beyond scientific innovation, the centre aims to educate new generations of AI experts and lift societal competence in AI. TRUST is led by the University of Oslo, SINTEF and the Norwegian Computing Center (NR)  

In the longer term, TRUST aspires to be a permanent and open national research centre, fostering a vibrant transdisciplinary and internationally recognized research community that is central in Norway’s AI future.
