The Gemini Centre for Trustworthy and Sustainable AI is established to address the growing concerns around Artificial Intelligence (AI) regarding societal impact, safety, security, ethics, environmental sustainability, and regulation. With increasing energy consumption of AI models and the need for transparent, secure, and privacy-preserving AI systems, the centre seeks to align AI development with sustainable and responsible practices. It supports the goals of the EU's AI Act, Data Act, and GDPR to ensure data interoperability, safety, security, and privacy.

This centre aims to create a collaborative environment that combines cutting-edge research, regulatory compliance, and ethical and secure AI practices while promoting environmental sustainability. The focus areas include reducing the carbon footprint of AI systems, ensuring that AI technologies are secure and respect user privacy and ethical standards, and fostering innovation that meets societal and regulatory expectations.

The centre is committed to advancing AI that is both responsible and sustainable by fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration with industry to support green AI technologies and contribute to a national AI research infrastructure.
