We are announcing Sparkasse as our first national credential partner for EU age assurance.
The lack of a reliable standard for safe, effective age checks across sites and apps online has long frustrated parents and companies. Google’s Credential Manager API — backed by Google Wallet and zero-knowledge proof cryptography — has proven that it’s possible. What’s needed now is collaboration and initiative to bring about the future of digital identity.That begins now. At the Global Digital Collaboration Conference today in Geneva, Germany’s Sparkasse, a trusted network of 343 …

CADRE: Customizable Assurance of Data Readiness in Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning
Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning (PPFL) is a decentralized machine learning approach where multiple clients train a model collaboratively. PPFL preserves privacy and security of the client's data by not exchanging it. However, ensuring that data at each client is of high quality and ready for federated learning (FL) is a challenge due to restricted data access. In this paper, we introduce CADRE (Customizable Assurance of Data REadiness) for FL, a novel framework that allows users to define…

Trojan Horse Hunt in Time Series Forecasting for Space Operations
This competition hosted on Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/trojan-horse-hunt-in-space) is the first part of a series of follow-up competitions and hackathons related to the "Assurance for Space Domain AI Applications" project funded by the European Space Agency (https://assurance-ai.space-codev.org/). The competition idea is based on one of the real-life AI security threats identified within the project -- the adversarial poisoning of continuously fine-tuned satellite telemetry fore…

Beyond Pixel Agreement: Large Language Models as Clinical Guardrails for Reliable Medical Image Segmentation
Evaluating AI-generated medical image segmentations for clinical acceptability poses a significant challenge, as traditional pixelagreement metrics often fail to capture true diagnostic utility. This paper introduces Hierarchical Clinical Reasoner (HCR), a novel framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) as clinical guardrails for reliable, zero-shot quality assessment. HCR employs a structured, multistage prompting strategy that guides LLMs through a detailed reasoning process, enco…
