Que finance cet appel ?

Scope

The topic supports pilots for AI-enabled media infrastructure serving pan-European public-interest media platforms. The project should consolidate, integrate and validate reusable AI components and governance arrangements, building on earlier Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and pilot actions, in preparation for wider scale-up from 2028.

Main activities

• moving existing pilots towards operational validation in real-world conditions against declared service levels, with a KPI framework and independent evaluation
• AI-based translation, classification and processing of news content, including for low-resource European languages
• testing open APIs, providing SDKs and documentation, and onboarding routes for smaller media players
• built-in provenance, traceability and transparency of AI components, and safeguards against synthetic or manipulated content
• a multi-stakeholder governance framework and a post-grant sustainability approach

Expected outcomes

Reliable, modular and interoperable infrastructure for multilingual and multimodal media workflows, equal access for media organisations of all sizes, and trustworthy tracking of content origins.

Technology readiness

Activities are expected to start at TRL 6 and reach TRL 8 by the end of the project.

Further expectations

• The project should bring together public and private media outlets, publishers and broadcasters, AI and language-technology providers, platform developers, content creators, social media actors, fact-checking actors and rights-management organisations.
• Where relevant, cultural and heritage institutions and civil society organisations should also be involved.
