Welcome to the Tango Project

TANGO is a €7M EU-funded Horizon Europe project that aims to develop the theoretical foundations and the computational framework for synergistic human-machine decision-making. The 4-year project will pave the way for the next generation of human-centric AI systems. The potential impact on individuals and society of the TANGO framework will be evaluated on a pool of real-world use cases of extremely high social impact, namely supporting women during pregnancy and postpartum, supporting surgical teams in intraoperative decision-making, supporting loan officers and applicants in credit lending decision processes, and helping public policymakers in designing incentives and allocating funds. The success of these case studies will foster the adoption of TANGO as the framework of reference for developing a new generation of synergistic AI systems and will strengthen the leadership of Europe in human-centric AI.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to enhance human decisions and avoid cognitive overload and bias in high-stakes scenarios. To date, however, the adoption of AI-based support systems has been minimal in settings such as hospitals, courts, and public administrations. For AI to fully develop its enormous potential in terms of positive impact on individuals, society, and the economy, a symbiosis should be established between humans and machines: people should feel they can trust the systems they interact with, in terms of the reliability of their predictions and decisions, capacity of the systems to understand their needs, and guarantees that they are genuinely aiming at supporting them rather than some undisclosed third party.
