AI4PublicPolicy will complement public policy development functionalities and ensure the effective transition from legacy policy development models to emerging AI-based policymaking by addressing 8 macro-objectives, tracked through key indicators as follows;

1. Specifications of reference models and processes for automated, transparent, citizen centric policy management based on AI technologies.

• Number of AI tools for policymaking 
• VPME Reference Architecture
• Organizational Transformation Blueprint

2. Increased automation and efficiency in policy development through AI-based tools for policy modelling, development, simulation and recommendations tools.

• Reduced time to model and develop a policy model
• Reduced time to benchmark and compare alternative policies

3. Repurpose, reuse and link AI-based policies and datasets across various domains and data subjects.

• Ontologies and Taxonomies to be reviewed for specifying the AI4PublicPolicy Ontologies
• Number of Ontologies and Archetypes to be produced
• Number of Policies to be reused across organizations in the AI4PublicPolicy market platform
• Policy Linking Tool

4. Transparent, interpretable and trusted policy development.

• Number of XAI algorithms/techniques to be introduced and validated 
• Policy Interpretation tool
• Cyber-security / Cyber-defence Techniques for AI Systems to be Implemented (Evasion, Poisoning)

5. Citizen-centric and business-centric policy developments, evaluation and optimization.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for citizens interaction and feedback 
• Policy optimization models and algorithms

6. High-performance integrated AI-based policy management based VPME’s integration with EOSC/EGI cloud & HPC resources.

• AI models deployed over the European Cloud Initiative and infrastructure (EOSC)
• Virtualized Policy Management Environment integrated with EOSC 
• Stakeholders accessing the EOSC/EGI-based Virtualized Policy Management Environment

7. Validation and evaluation in real-life use cases addressing different policy-related domains.

• Pilot systems to be integrated and deployed
• Policy Development Use Cases to be Integrated
• Policy Makers (individuals) to be engaged in the pilots
• Policy Making Stakeholders engaged in the CoCreation Processes 
• Tools repurposed and reused across scenarios and use cases
