How will you contribute?

You will be contributing to the research and development of the Luxembourg AI Factory, part of the EU AI Factories initiative aimed at leveraging the supercomputing capacity of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking to develop trustworthy cutting-edge generative AI models.

This initiative is aligned with several ongoing projects aimed at already testing AI / LLMs from a variety of perspectives, such as biases and linguistic capabilities. Your work will be to extend and add new testing capabilities (e.g. sustainability testing) and integrate the results in the core AI Sandbox infrastructure developed with the other project partners.

In particular, on the one side, you’ll be working on the development of these new testing techniques and their implementation o n top of the Luxembourgish AI sandbox. On the other hand, you’ll be working together with companies on more applied initiatives that study and recommend AI solutions based on their needs, taking into account our testing results.

A combination of software testing, AI / LLMs, and empirical analysis techniques will be used.

You will be in charge of:

• Extending the LIST AI testing and assessment capabilities with new metrics and dimensions
• Develop components that wrap these capabilities and make them accessible, in particular as modules of the Luxembourgish AI Factory
• Empirically evaluate the impact, transparency and comprehension of such assessments
• Participate in collaborations with companies interested in testing their own models and/or choosing the right AI model for their needs
• Participating to research papers and materials presenting and promoting the results of the projects
