Publicly funded research linking existing resources to analytical tools
AI4TRUST is Horizon research project 101070190, running from 1 January 2023 to 28 February 2026 with Fondazione Bruno Kessler as coordinator. It develops tools for human-supported analysis of online information, with a separately identified German GDI participant.
CORDIS lists €5,950,682.50 as the project's net EU contribution; the German GDI participant's €385,275 is included within that aggregate. The final-period report describes an ensemble of LightGBM classifiers with calibration, combining six AI tools for triage and feature attribution, alongside dashboard evaluation by users. A reported textual-signals metric applies to that component rather than the whole system. CORDIS, updated on 17 June 2026, labels the project closed; this does not certify every deliverable or imply that all resulting tools stopped operating.

Submitted1November2023; agreement execution not established.
Design record says planned collection is purpose-limited and consortium interface access depends on data-sharing agreements. Mentioned internal GDI policies and generic NCSR-D/FBK licence guidance are not executed GDI terms.

CORDIS records EUR5950682.50 project contribution and cost. This is an aggregate project field, not GDI income or a dated payout. The separately displayed German participant contribution is included within this project, not extra funding to add.

AI4TRUST, grant 101070190 → AI4TRUST Disinformation Warning System: reported final method
Report period1March2024-28February2026; updated3August2026, not operational launch date.
Final-period report describes an ensemble of LightGBM classifiers with isotonic regression calibration, combining six AI tools and providing triage categories/feature attribution. Exact inputs, weights, category thresholds and approval rules are not published in this read record.
AI4TRUST, grant 101070190 → AI4TRUST textual disinformation-signals component
The metric applies to the textual signals tool detecting39signals across6tactics/8languages. It is not aggregate warning-system performance or probability a particular claim is false. No benchmark was reproduced.
AI4TRUST, grant 101070190 → AI4TRUST reported user evaluation
Population includes media professionals, fact-checkers, policy experts and students. These reported rounds are not an independent Commission audit, actual downstream recipient list or measured advertising effect.

AI4TRUST, grant 101070190 → AI4TRUST Human Validation Dashboard
Final report describes the named dashboard and iterative user evaluation. It supplies no override, score replacement, reasons, publisher appeal or correction-propagation rule.

Listed against project1January2023-28February2026; actual participant accession/exit dates not acquired.
CORDIS lists the German entity in participant section, distinct from non-signing associated partners. No executed accession, UK guarantee or corporate ownership is inferred.
GDI's Horizon role: a named research contribution, with reuse rights still missing ↗
FCDO reports support to the named GDI operation. The Commission records AI4TRUST project funding and a contribution for its German participant. These are two documented channels.
