D3.6 - Overview over ELSA services & description of their purpose and function for AI development in agri-food

<p>The AgrifoodTEF project offers Ethical, Legal, and Social Aspects (ELSA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) services in order&nbsp;to support the transition from innovative AI solutions to successful market applications in the agri-food sector. This&nbsp;report explores the current ELSA research and demonstrates how LCA may complement ELSA to promote the&nbsp;responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. It explores the ELSA and LCA services under the&nbsp;AgrifoodTEF service catalogue and outlines the purpose and impact of these services.</p>
<p>ELSA services help address ethical, legal, and social challenges while ensuring compliance with regulations and fostering&nbsp;human-centred design. LCA services evaluate and optimise the environmental impact of technologies, supporting&nbsp;sustainability goals. Together, these services have the potential to enable a comprehensive approach to responsible&nbsp;innovation by evaluating ethical, legal, and societal aspects as well as environmental considerations.&nbsp;The report also highlights the potential for developing more comprehensive ELSA services that consider ethical, legal&nbsp;and social aspects more in-depth and with quadruple helix stakeholder workshops to enhance collaboration and&nbsp;inclusivity.</p>
