Twelve Focus Groups with different stakeholders across Europe were pursued in the context of
SHERPA’s Evaluation and Validation Strategy (T4.1).
The aim of the focus groups was two fold. Firstly,
to gain stakeholders’ views regarding the recommendations that have been developed in the SHERPA
project, particularly regarding the set of Guidelines for user and developers (T3.2), the Regulatory
Options (T3.3.) and the terms of reference for new regulator (T3.6). Secondly, to obtain an in-depth
understanding of stakeholders’ views regarding what they consider as the main ethical issues that
come out of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data, on the way those ethical issues are currently
addressed, and their suggestions on how the ethical issues can be addressed for efficiently in the
future.
