										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three days of discussions at <a href="https://aicongress.barcelona/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI Congress 2026</a> in Barcelona reinforced a message that resonates strongly with us at Mosaic Factor: <strong><em>building more powerful AI models is no longer enough</em></strong>.</p>
<div>
<p>As artificial intelligence moves from experimentation into everyday business operations, the real challenge is turning technological capabilities into solutions that create measurable value. Across sessions on <strong>AI agents</strong>, <strong>data governance</strong>, <strong>synthetic data</strong>, <strong>machine learning</strong> and <strong>enterprise adoption</strong>, a common theme emerged. <strong>Organisations</strong> are no longer asking what AI can do. They are <strong>asking how to deploy AI responsibly, scale it efficiently</strong>, and <strong>ensure </strong>it delivers <strong>meaningful outcomes</strong>.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, many of the themes discussed at the Congress closely reflect the challenges we address in our own projects, from trustworthy AI and advanced analytics to data governance, digital twins and AI-powered decision-support systems.</p>
<p>These were some of the key insights we took away from the event.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h1>1. Successful AI adoption starts with the problem, not the technology</h1>
<div>
<p>AI agents are evolving rapidly, creating new opportunities to automate workflows, support complex tasks and improve decision-making. But with new models, platforms and tools appearing every week, organisations face a fundamental question:</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Where should we start?</strong></p>
<p>One of the most practical messages from the Congress was surprisingly simple:<strong> start with the problem</strong>. Before selecting a model or adopting a platform, organisations need to understand:</p>
<ul>
<li>Who will use the solution?</li>
<li>What challenge are they trying to solve?</li>
<li>Which part of the process needs improvement?</li>
<li>How will success be measured?</li>
</ul>
<p>Context is often the deciding factor between a successful AI initiative and one that struggles to deliver value. AI systems require relevant information about objectives, users, constraints and operating environments to generate useful outcomes.</p>
<p>Just as importantly, AI must fit existing workflows and business realities. Effective implementation is rarely about replacing people. It is about identifying where technology can augment expertise, improve efficiency and support better decisions.</p>
<p>For us, this reinforces an important principle: <em>meaningful AI innovation starts with a clear business need, not with the technology itself</em>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
</div>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 26px;">2. Trustworthy AI depends on Trustworthy Data </span></p>
<div>
<p>Data governance emerged as one of the most consistent themes throughout the Congress.</p>
<div>
<p>As AI systems become more capable, their effectiveness increasingly depends on the quality, accessibility and governance of the data that supports them. Several sessions focused on European data spaces and the growing importance of creating trusted mechanisms for data sharing and collaboration.</p>
<p>Examples such as the UPC Data Space initiative demonstrated how organisations can share and reuse information while maintaining clear rules around access, ownership, and usage.</p>
<p>Applications discussed during the event included sectors such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Agriculture</li>
<li>Energy</li>
<li>Mobility</li>
<li>Construction</li>
</ul>
<p>In one example, geospatial and environmental information was integrated into a common framework, making it easier for AI systems to assess agricultural conditions, evaluate risks, and support investment decisions.</p>
<p>The broader lesson extends well beyond any single sector. Connecting datasets is only part of the challenge. <strong>Organisations must</strong> also <strong>ensure that information remains meaningful within its intended context</strong> and that <strong>governance mechanisms clearly define how that information can be used</strong>.</p>
<p>This discussion is closely linked to the concept of digital sovereignty and to the <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/key-aspects-of-the-european-ai-act/">evolving European regulatory landscape, including the GDPR, Data Governance Act and EU AI Act</a>.</p>
<p>For businesses, governance should not be viewed solely as a compliance requirement. It is a foundation for trust, collaboration and responsible AI adoption.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2>3. Synthetic data can help unlock new opportunities</h2>
<p>Many AI projects face a <strong>common obstacle</strong>: the <em>data required to develop, test or validate a solution may be incomplete</em>, <em>fragmented</em> or <em>unavailable</em>.</p>
<div>
<p><strong>Synthetic data</strong> offers one potential <strong>way to address this challenge</strong>.</p>
<p>One particularly interesting example presented during the Congress focused on mobility planning in rural environments. Unlike large urban areas, rural communities often have dispersed populations and limited transport options. This makes collecting comprehensive mobility data difficult while simultaneously making efficient transport planning more important.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.nemi.mobi/nemi-use-cases/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nemi mobility use case</a> demonstrated how AI-driven simulations can generate synthetic mobility demand and origin-destination matrices by combining information such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Areas of interest</li>
<li>Potential travel origins and destinations</li>
<li>Temporal patterns and constraints</li>
</ul>
<p>These simulated datasets allow planners to evaluate potential transport services and explore mobility patterns even when complete real-world data is unavailable.</p>
<p>The example highlighted an important point about synthetic data. Its value depends on how and where it is used.</p>
<p><strong>Synthetic data can be highly effective for prototyping</strong>, <strong>simulation</strong> and <strong>pre-production testing</strong>. However, organisations must understand its limitations and carefully evaluate whether additional validation is required before deploying solutions in operational environments. As with any AI system, success depends on choosing the right tool for the right purpose.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2>4. AI must be scalable, efficient and sustainable</h2>
<p>Another recurring message throughout the Congress was that <strong>technical performance alone is not enough</strong>. A successful proof of concept does not automatically become a successful production system. As AI solutions scale, organisations face new <strong>challenges related to infrastructure</strong>, <strong>operational complexity</strong>, <strong>costs</strong> and <strong>resource consumption</strong>.</p>
<div>
<p>Three dimensions of efficiency appeared repeatedly throughout the discussions:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Cost Efficiency</strong>. Understanding the financial implications of deploying, operating and scaling AI systems.</li>
<li><strong>Resource Efficiency</strong>. Selecting the right models and architectures for each use case instead of defaulting to the largest or most complex solution.</li>
<li><strong>Environmental Efficiency</strong>. Considering the energy and resource requirements associated with AI deployment.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Operational efficiency</strong> is equally important. Organisations must determine:</p>
<ul>
<li>Which tasks should be automated.</li>
<li>Where human oversight remains necessary.</li>
<li>How systems should handle exceptions and unexpected situations.</li>
<li>How workflows should be structured to balance performance, governance and cost.</li>
</ul>
<p>This distinction is important. Deploying AI is not the objective, <strong>creating solutions that continue to deliver measurable business value over time is</strong>.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6875" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/AI-congress-1-300x294.webp" alt="AI congress" width="300" height="294" /></p>
</div>
<h2>5. Governance, security and accountability cannot be an afterthought</h2>
<p>As AI becomes embedded within increasingly important business processes, governance and security become critical enablers of sustainable adoption. Several discussions focused on the fact that AI systems are not static.</p>
<ul>
<li>Models evolve.</li>
<li>Configurations change.</li>
<li>Prompts are updated.</li>
<li>New data becomes available.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<p>As a result, <strong>performance</strong>, <strong>compliance</strong> and <strong>risk</strong> <strong>cannot be evaluated once and then forgotten</strong>.</p>
<p>Organisations need structured processes to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Monitor system behaviour.</li>
<li>Document decisions.</li>
<li>Assess risks continuously.</li>
<li>Respond to emerging issues.</li>
<li>Demonstrate compliance when required.</li>
</ul>
<p>These requirements become particularly important in regulated industries, where organisations may need to explain how AI systems operate and provide evidence that appropriate controls are in place.</p>
<p>The discussion also highlighted the importance of the people working alongside AI.</p>
<ol>
<li>Providing employees with <strong>access to AI</strong> tools does not automatically translate into successful adoption.</li>
<li><strong>Training</strong>, change management, internal policies and ongoing support all play essential roles.</li>
<li><strong>Trustworthy</strong> AI is therefore not a one-time achievement. It requires continuous attention to governance, security, accountability and human oversight.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2>6. Beyond Generative AI: traditional Machine Learning still delivers value</h2>
<p>While <strong>generative AI</strong> and <strong>AI agents</strong> <strong>dominated many conversations</strong>, the Congress also provided an important reminder: <em>traditional machine learning continues to solve real business problems</em>.</p>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Many use cases involving <strong>prediction</strong>, <strong>classification</strong>, <strong>anomaly detection</strong> and <strong>structured data analysis</strong> remain highly effective without requiring large language models. A</li>
<li>t the same time, <strong>multimodal AI</strong> is creating new opportunities by combining text, images and other forms of information into unified systems. Both approaches have value.</li>
<li>The important lesson is that technology choices should be driven by the problem being solved. The <strong>newest model is not automatically the most appropriate one</strong>.</li>
<li>Successful AI strategies require a <strong>clear understanding of available technologies</strong>, <strong>business objectives</strong> and <strong>operational constraints</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Innovation should ultimately be measured by the value it creates, not by the sophistication of the technology itself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2>The next phase of AI adoption</h2>
<p>Looking across the discussions at AI Congress 2026, our main conclusion may be that <strong>the future of AI will not be defined solely by larger models, more parameters or new capabilities</strong>.</p>
<div>
<p>It will be <strong>shaped by an organisation&#8217;s ability</strong> to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Identify <strong>meaningful business problems</strong>.</li>
<li>Build on <strong>trusted and well-governed data</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Deploy</strong> <strong>AI efficiently</strong> and <strong>sustainably</strong>.</li>
<li>Maintain <strong>security</strong>, <strong>accountability</strong> and <strong>human oversight</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Generate measurable outcomes</strong> beyond the proof-of-concept stage.</li>
</ul>
<p>These challenges are deeply interconnected. Solving them requires more than technical expertise. It requires collaboration between domain experts, business stakeholders and AI specialists to ensure that solutions are not only technically capable but also useful, trustworthy and aligned with real-world needs.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, we believe that successful AI adoption happens when technological capabilities are combined with strong governance, high-quality data and a clear understanding of the people who will ultimately use the solution.</p>
<p>That was perhaps the most valuable lesson from AI Congress 2026, and one that continues to guide our work across healthcare, industry, mobility and emerging domains such as <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/twinops-and-myev-digital-twins-advancing-sdv-at-rtr-conference/">software-defined vehicles</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most small and medium-sized businesses are no longer asking whether they should use artificial intelligence. Someone in the organisation already is. AI is drafting proposals, summarising meetings, classifying support tickets, analysing documents and helping teams work faster.</p>
<p>The real challenge is no longer adoption. It is <strong>AI governance</strong>. Where is AI being used? What data is it processing? Who remains accountable for the outcome?</p>
<p>These questions are becoming increasingly important as AI evolves from tools that simply generate content to systems that can take actions on behalf of users.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://cidai.eu/en/ai-is-here-to-stay-the-new-challenge-for-smes-is-learning-how-to-govern-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent article by CIDAI, featuring insights from Alfonso Corral, CEO of Conversia</a>, highlights this shift. For many SMEs, the challenge is no longer gaining access to AI. It is ensuring that AI is used responsibly, transparently and effectively across the organisation.</p>
<h2><strong>From AI assistants to AI agents</strong></h2>
<p>For the past few years, most organisations have experimented with AI assistants that answer questions, generate text or support decision-making. The next wave is different.</p>
<p>AI agents can access applications, retrieve information, execute workflows and interact with business systems with limited human intervention. An agent may schedule appointments, manage inventories, update records or communicate with customers. This <strong>increased autonomy creates new opportunities</strong>, but it <strong>also raises new governance challenges</strong>.</p>
<p>The question is no longer: <em>&#8220;Can AI help us complete this task?&#8221; </em>It is: <em>&#8220;How do we ensure AI performs this task safely, responsibly and in line with business objectives?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6842" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/AI-governance-header-300x133.webp" alt="AI governance header" width="300" height="133" /></p>
<h2>The rules already apply</h2>
<p>Many organisations still assume that AI governance can wait until regulation becomes stricter. In reality, several obligations are already in force.</p>
<p>The EU AI Act is being implemented progressively. Rules on prohibited AI practices and AI literacy obligations are already applicable, while Article 50 transparency requirements became applicable on 2 August 2026. These transparency obligations include informing users when they are interacting with certain AI systems and identifying specific categories of AI-generated content. Additional requirements for high-risk AI systems will follow according to the Act&#8217;s implementation timetable.</p>
<p>A <strong>key principle of the AI Act is that obligations depend on risk, not on the technology itself</strong>.</p>
<p>Using AI to draft an internal newsletter presents very different risks from using AI to screen job candidates, assess employee performance or support decisions that affect individuals. The latter uses may trigger substantially greater regulatory obligations.</p>
<p>Another common misconception is that responsibility belongs entirely to the software vendor.</p>
<p>The AI Act distinguishes between <strong>providers</strong>, who develop AI systems, and <strong>deployers</strong>, who use them within their organisations. A company may have obligations as a deployer even if it never develops an AI model itself. Existing requirements relating to data protection, confidentiality, intellectual property and employment law continue to apply regardless of whether AI is involved.</p>
<p>We explored these requirements in greater detail in our previous article, <strong>&#8220;</strong><a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/key-aspects-of-the-european-ai-act/"><strong>Key Aspects of the European AI Act</strong></a><strong>&#8220;</strong>, where we break down the regulation&#8217;s risk-based approach, implementation timeline and the practical implications for organisations adopting AI solutions.</p>
<h2>What the summer of 2026 revealed about AI Governance</h2>
<p>In July 2026, an incident involving AI cybersecurity evaluations attracted significant attention across the AI community.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenAI&#8217;s published investigation</a>, highly capable <strong>AI models</strong> participating in internal cybersecurity evaluations circumvented intended controls, <strong>gained internet access and compromised parts of OpenAI&#8217;s research infrastructure and systems</strong> belonging to Hugging Face. OpenAI attributed the behaviour to misaligned incentives during evaluation and described it as a form of &#8220;reward hacking.&#8221;</p>
<p>The significance of the incident was not simply the technical breach. It highlighted a broader governance challenge: highly capable AI systems may pursue objectives in unexpected ways when success metrics, permissions and oversight mechanisms are poorly designed. OpenAI&#8217;s investigation identified issues relating not only to model behaviour, but also to monitoring, isolation and escalation processes.</p>
<p>The lesson is clear: AI governance is not solely about the model. It is also about the environment in which the model operates.</p>
<h2>Understanding reward hacking</h2>
<p>Many modern AI systems rely on reinforcement learning, where the system learns by attempting actions and receiving feedback based on predefined objectives. Reward hacking occurs when a system discovers a way to maximise its score without achieving the underlying goal intended by its designers.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6844" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-21-at-10.33.04-AM-300x200.webp" alt="AI governance" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>A simple business example illustrates the concept.</p>
<p>Imagine a customer support team being rewarded only for reducing call duration. Some employees might learn that ending difficult conversations quickly improves the metric, even though customer satisfaction suffers.</p>
<p>The metric improves. The outcome does not. The same principle can emerge in AI systems.</p>
<p>As AI agents gain access to applications, workflows and business processes, poorly designed objectives can lead to unintended behaviours that technically satisfy performance targets while undermining business goals.</p>
<p>Importantly, this does not imply intentional deception or consciousness. Rather, it reflects the fact that optimisation systems will often exploit shortcuts when those shortcuts are rewarded.</p>
<h2>Why this matters for SMEs</h2>
<p><strong>Few SMEs will ever train a frontier AI model</strong>. Many, however, will deploy AI agents connected to email, CRM platforms, ERP systems, customer portals or e-commerce environments.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, we increasingly see organisations exploring these use cases while simultaneously asking questions about traceability, accountability and control. Examples might include:</p>
<ul>
<li>An AI agent tasked with reducing open support tickets closes cases prematurely instead of resolving underlying issues.</li>
<li>An inventory management agent avoids stock shortages by systematically over-ordering products.</li>
<li>An AI assistant with excessive permissions accesses sensitive information it never needed to perform its task.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are not technical failures alone. They are governance failures.</p>
<p>How success is defined, what permissions are granted, when human approval is required and how behaviours are monitored are business decisions. They should not be left solely to whoever installs the AI tool.</p>
<h2>A practical starting point for AI Governance</h2>
<p>Effective AI governance does not require a large compliance team. It starts with a few practical disciplines:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Map AI usage across the organisation.</strong> Document every AI system, who uses it, what data it processes and which provider supplies it.</li>
<li><strong>Assess risk and impact.</strong> Distinguish between low-risk productivity applications and systems that influence people, finances, compliance or strategic decisions.</li>
<li><strong>Apply least-privilege access.</strong> Grant AI systems only the permissions required for their intended purpose.</li>
<li><strong>Keep humans involved in critical decisions.</strong> Require approval for actions that are difficult to reverse, such as payments, customer communications or record deletion.</li>
<li><strong>Monitor outcomes, not only metrics.</strong> Verify that business objectives are genuinely being achieved rather than simply measuring target indicators.</li>
<li><strong>Maintain audit trails and logs.</strong> Monitoring is essential for identifying unexpected behaviours before they become significant issues.</li>
<li><strong>Invest in AI literacy.</strong> Employees should understand both the opportunities and the limitations of the AI systems they use.</li>
<li><strong>Evaluate suppliers carefully.</strong> Ask how data is handled, what transparency mechanisms exist and which controls and audit capabilities are available.</li>
<li><strong>Be transparent with customers.</strong> When AI interacts directly with users or generates content they may rely upon, transparency builds trust and supports compliance.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Governance is what enables Trustworthy AI</h2>
<p>Responsible AI does not mean using less AI. It means understanding what AI systems do, why they do it and where their limitations lie.</p>
<p>The organisations that succeed with AI over the long term will not necessarily be those that deploy it first. They will be those that deploy it responsibly, with appropriate controls, clear accountability and a strong understanding of risk.</p>
<p>Governance should not be viewed as a barrier to innovation. It is what allows organisations to innovate confidently, scale successful AI initiatives and maintain the trust of customers, employees and regulators.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, we help organisations build <strong>trustworthy AI systems</strong> that are explainable, auditable and aligned with both business objectives and regulatory expectations.</p>
<p>Because the future belongs not simply to companies that use AI, but to companies that <strong>govern AI well</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From robotics and <strong>digital twins</strong> to <strong>predictive analytics</strong> and <strong>precision medicine</strong>, <a href="https://www.bnewbarcelona.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona New Economy Week (BNEW) 2026</strong></a> highlighted how <em>artificial intelligence is transforming every sector of the economy</em>. For Mosaic Factor, a company specialised in healthcare AI, advanced analytics and trusted AI solutions, the event provided valuable insights into some of the most important challenges facing healthcare innovation today.</p>
<h1>Healthcare AI at BNEW 2026: Precision Medicine, Explainability and Bias Mitigation</h1>
<div>
<p>Among the many AI-focused sessions, the discussions around longevity, personalised medicine and data diversity were particularly relevant. These topics sit at the intersection of Healthcare AI, Explainable AI (XAI) and responsible AI development, raising a critical question for both researchers and technology providers: can AI systems be truly effective if key populations are missing from the data used to train them?</p>
</div>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6775" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/BNEW-Health-MosaicFactor-300x173.webp" alt="BNEW Healthcare AI" width="300" height="173" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 26px;">AI at the Core of the New Economy</span></p>
<div>
<p>The seventh edition of Barcelona New Economy Week (BNEW) took place on 5-7 October 2026 at DFactory Barcelona. Organised by the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona, the event brought together hundreds of experts, innovators and startups across eight sectors: Artificial Intelligence, Health, Energy, Agrofood, Aviation &amp; Space, Science, Talent and Gaming.</p>
<p>This year, Artificial Intelligence had its own dedicated track for the first time, after six editions in which it featured as a cross-cutting theme. The sessions explored how AI is reshaping employment, business models and decision-making processes, with contributions from organisations including the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Oracle and Ibercaja.</p>
<p>The influence of AI extended far beyond the dedicated AI track. The Health programme showcased automation and live surgical robotics. Energy sessions focused on the growing role of data and AI in the energy transition. Across the venue, humanoid robots, collaborative robotics and autonomous mobility simulators demonstrated how quickly AI is moving from research environments into real-world applications.</p>
<p>For Mosaic Factor, BNEW provided a valuable overview of where AI innovation is heading across multiple industries. Many of the topics discussed, including trustworthy AI, data quality, robotics, predictive analytics and digital twins, directly connect with the challenges we address in our own projects.</p>
<h2>AI Trends Observed at BNEW 2026</h2>
<p>Across AI, Health, Energy and Industry sessions, several common themes emerged:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increasing adoption of AI-driven decision support systems.</li>
<li>Growing demand for explainable and trustworthy AI.</li>
<li>Greater use of predictive analytics and digital twins.</li>
<li>Integration of multimodal data to support personalised services.</li>
<li>Strong focus on governance, transparency and AI regulation.</li>
</ul>
<p>These trends closely align with the solutions Mosaic Factor develops across healthcare, mobility and industrial environments.</p>
<p>While AI innovation was visible throughout the event, healthcare stood out as one of the areas where AI is expected to generate the greatest impact, while also raising some of the most important questions around reliability, explainability and bias.</p>
<h2>Healthcare AI, longevity research and precision medicine</h2>
<p>On 6th October, the BNEW Health session <em>&#8220;Longevity and Healthy Aging: Strategies for a Longer-Lived Society&#8221;</em> brought together researchers and clinicians working in genetics, neuroscience and integrative nutrition.</p>
<p>Beyond longevity itself, the discussion highlighted broader trends that are shaping the future of Healthcare AI:</p>
<ul>
<li>The transition towards precision medicine.</li>
<li>The integration of multimodal data sources.</li>
<li>The importance of data diversity in both clinical research and machine learning systems.</li>
</ul>
<p>The panel addressed three developments with direct implications for Healthcare AI:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Epigenetics:</strong> lifestyle and environment influence how genes are expressed.</li>
<li><strong>Personalised, multimodal treatment:</strong> combining interventions tailored to each individual.</li>
<li><strong>Data representativeness:</strong> the need for more diverse research populations and datasets.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each of these challenges is closely linked to Mosaic Factor&#8217;s work in predictive analytics and clinical decision-support systems, where model reliability depends on the quality, diversity, and representativeness of the data available.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6776" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/BNEW-Health-MosaicFactor-2-1-300x187.webp" alt="BNEW Healthcare AI" width="300" height="187" /></p>
<h2>Genetics and Epigenetics: how lifestyle shapes gene expression</h2>
<p>One of the panellists used a card game analogy to explain the relationship between genetics and epigenetics. Every individual is dealt a hand at birth, inheriting half of their genes from each parent. Those cards cannot be changed. How they are played can.</p>
<p>Epigenetics describes how environmental and lifestyle factors influence whether certain genes are activated or remain silent. Physical activity, nutrition, sleep quality and stress management all play an important role in shaping long-term health outcomes.</p>
<p>The discussion noted that a substantial proportion of dementia cases is associated with modifiable risk factors. Research increasingly shows that healthy ageing cannot be explained by genetics alone. Instead, it emerges from the interaction between genetic predispositions, lifestyle choices and environmental conditions throughout life.</p>
<p>For Healthcare AI, this reinforces the need for models capable of integrating multiple sources of information rather than relying on a single variable or dataset.</p>
<h2>Personalised, multimodal treatment in healthy ageing</h2>
<p>The panel stressed that no single intervention can address ageing effectively. The most promising strategies are multimodal, combining different therapeutic approaches and adapting them to the characteristics of each individual.</p>
<p>Biological sex, ancestry, age and clinical history all influence how patients respond to diseases and treatments. As a result, longevity research increasingly overlaps with the principles of precision medicine, which aims to deliver the right intervention to the right patient at the right time.</p>
<p>This same paradigm shift is transforming Healthcare AI. Modern AI systems must increasingly integrate clinical, genomic, imaging and behavioural data to support more personalised and meaningful recommendations.</p>
<h2>Healthcare AI Bias: why data diversity matters</h2>
<p>The most significant takeaway for Mosaic Factor concerned the <strong><em>composition of the datasets that underpin both clinical research and AI models</em></strong>.</p>
<p>According to the speakers, much of today&#8217;s knowledge about ageing is still derived from studies involving people of European ancestry. Other populations remain comparatively under-represented despite significant genetic diversity. This has practical consequences: treatments and interventions that work well in one population may not have the same outcomes in another.</p>
<p>The same challenge applies directly to Healthcare AI.</p>
<p>A machine learning model can only learn from the data on which it is trained. If certain populations are under-represented, a model may achieve strong average performance while being systematically less accurate for specific groups. In healthcare settings, this can contribute to unequal clinical outcomes and reduced trust in AI systems.</p>
<p>As AI becomes increasingly integrated into clinical workflows, ensuring data quality and representativeness is therefore not only a technical challenge but also an ethical and regulatory requirement.</p>
<h2>How Mosaic Factor builds trustworthy healthcare AI</h2>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, trustworthy Healthcare AI begins with data quality, explainability and rigorous validation. As healthcare organisations increasingly adopt AI-powered decision-support systems, reducing bias and ensuring transparency become essential for both clinical trust and regulatory compliance.</p>
<p>Our approach is built around five core practices:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Assessing representativeness from the start.</strong> Before developing a model, we analyse who is included in the dataset and who is missing, considering factors such as sex, age, ancestry and clinical profile.</li>
<li><strong>Validating performance across subgroups.</strong> Overall accuracy is not enough. We evaluate how models perform for different populations to identify potential disparities before deployment.</li>
<li><strong>Explaining every prediction.</strong> Through Explainable AI (XAI), healthcare professionals can understand which factors contributed most to a prediction and incorporate that insight into their clinical judgement.</li>
<li><strong>Communicating uncertainty.</strong> We seek to quantify and communicate confidence levels in model outputs. This principle also guides our work beyond healthcare, including Energy &amp; Range Forecasting applications developed within the <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/projects/twin-loop/">Twin-Loop project</a>. AI systems should be able to indicate when they are operating outside the conditions represented in their training data.</li>
<li><strong>Collaborating with clinical and research partners.</strong> Working closely with hospitals, research centres and clinicians helps ensure that AI solutions remain relevant, validated and centred on human expertise.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Precision medicine and responsible AI: a shared challenge</h2>
<p>BNEW 2026 reinforced a message that was visible across the event&#8217;s AI, Health and Industry tracks: organisations are moving beyond exploring what AI can do towards deploying AI systems that must be reliable, explainable and capable of operating in complex real-world environments.</p>
<p>For healthcare, this means combining the promise of precision medicine with rigorous approaches to data quality, transparency and bias mitigation. The same foundations that support better research also support better AI.</p>
<p>The future of Healthcare AI will depend not only on more powerful algorithms, but also on better data, greater transparency and stronger collaboration between clinicians, researchers and technology providers.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, these principles guide the design and deployment of our Healthcare AI solutions, from predictive analytics and decision-support tools to Explainable AI applications developed together with healthcare and research organisations.</p>
<p>Events such as BNEW help us stay connected to the latest AI innovations, emerging regulations and scientific advances that will shape the future of data-driven healthcare.</p>
<p>We thank the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona and all the speakers for an insightful event, and we look forward to continuing these conversations as AI adoption accelerates across healthcare and other critical industries.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming automotive manufacturing, from predictive maintenance and energy optimisation to digital twins and quality control. In <a href="https://www.auto-revista.com/estatica/nuevo-numero#bn/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AutoRevista&#8217;s September issue (page 64)</strong></a>, <strong>Mosaic Factor was featured</strong> alongside Overstand Intelligence and GFT to discuss <strong><em>how AI is already delivering measurable value on the automotive plant floor</em></strong>.</p>
<div>
<p>In this article, we share the key insights from the report and expand on areas that are becoming increasingly important for automotive OEMs and suppliers: <strong>explainable AI</strong>, <strong>trusted decision-making</strong>, <strong>industrial digital twins</strong>, and the <strong>evolution toward the Software Defined Vehicle</strong> (SDV).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2>1. Focus AI investments on high-impact manufacturing processes</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">AI delivers the strongest return on investment in manufacturing environments where operational complexity, equipment downtime and quality issues generate significant costs.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">As we told AutoRevista:</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The <strong>greatest returns</strong> are usually found in areas characterised by <strong>high operational complexity, large data volumes, and significant costs</strong> associated with downtime, rework, or energy consumption&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In practice, that means: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">predictive maintenance on critical equipment</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">real-time monitoring to find bottlenecks</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">tuning process parameters</span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">and quality control based on data from sensors, MES, SCADA and PLC systems.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Digital twins tie these together. Before moving a line, changing a logistics flow or adding capacity, a plant can test the change virtually, </span><i><span data-contrast="auto">&#8220;reducing risk and accelerating decision-making&#8221;.</span></i><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6764" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Trends-Automotive-AI-300x171.webp" alt="AI in automotive Mosaic Factor" width="300" height="171" /></p>
<h2>2. Predictive AI and Generative AI solve different manufacturing challenges</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In automotive manufacturing, <strong>predictive AI is commonly used for predictive maintenance</strong>, <strong>anomaly detection</strong> and <strong>process optimisation</strong>, while <strong>Generative AI supports knowledge management</strong>, <strong>engineering documentation</strong> and <strong>workforce assistance</strong>.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Predictive AI and Generative AI are often lumped together, but on the shop floor they solve different problems. Predictive models are the more mature tool, used to anticipate failures, model equipment behaviour and plan maintenance. Generative AI is newer and helps people more than machines. It makes technical documentation and expert know-how accessible to production, engineering, maintenance and quality teams.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">That second use is becoming urgent. As we pointed out in the interview:</span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Knowledge transfer and the availability of specialized personnel have become strategic challenges for many plants&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6762" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Trends-Automotive-AI-2-300x200.webp" alt="AI in automotive Mosaic Factor" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<h2>3. AI-powered energy optimisation is becoming a competitive advantage</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Energy-intensive operations such as paint shops, ovens, compressed air systems and HVAC infrastructure are increasingly being <strong>optimised through machine learning models and digital twin technologies</strong>.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}"> </span></p>
<div>Machine learning and digital twins can <strong>spot consumption patterns</strong>, <strong>flag anomalies</strong> and <strong>simulate production scenarios</strong>. The aim is to <strong>use less energy without giving up quality or output</strong>. These capabilities are also at the core of <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/projects/twin-loop/"><strong>Twin-Loop</strong></a>, our Horizon Europe project, where we are developing AI-driven digital twins to help industrial operators understand the impact of production decisions on energy consumption, resource efficiency and sustainability performance. The project reflects a broader shift toward smarter, data-driven manufacturing environments capable of continuously adapting and optimising operation.</div>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This enables a shift from reactive energy management to continuous, data-driven optimisation, an approach that also aligns with the sustainability and emissions-reduction goals currently being set by the automotive industry&#8221;. Said our CTO.</p></blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6763" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Trends-Automotive-AI-3-300x195.webp" alt="AI in automotive Mosaic Factor" width="300" height="195" /></p>
<h2>4. Explainable AI keeps humans in control of critical manufacturing decisions</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">As AI systems become more deeply embedded in production processes, <strong><em>explainable AI</em></strong> (XAI) <em>is becoming <strong>essential</strong> for <strong>quality assurance</strong>, <strong>regulatory compliance</strong> and <strong>operational trust</strong></em>.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:210,&quot;335559739&quot;:210,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Manufacturing and quality teams need to understand why an AI system recommends a particular action, especially when decisions affect safety, production continuity or product quality.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:210,&quot;335559739&quot;:210,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">All three companies in the report agreed on this point. AI vision can now handle most repetitive, high-volume inspection very well. For the most critical components, though, we believe the best setup combines AI, vision systems and human oversight.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">There&#8217;s a reason behind this that the printed version didn&#8217;t include. In industrial settings, decisions have to be auditable and understandable for the production and quality teams who answer for them. That&#8217;s why we focus on explainable, trustworthy AI, and why our tagline is </span><strong><i>AI you can trust</i></strong><span data-contrast="auto">. </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6777" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Image-_2_-300x188.webp" alt="AI in automotive Mosaic Factor" width="300" height="188" /></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Our view is that AI should make teams more capable, not replace them, helping them decide faster, with better evidence and less uncertainty.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<div>
<h2>5. The Software-defined vehicle is reshaping automotive manufacturing</h2>
<p>The rise of the <strong>Software-Defined Vehicle</strong> (SDV) is <strong>changing not only vehicle development</strong> but <strong>also how automotive plants operate</strong>.</p>
<p>Modern vehicles increasingly rely on software, sensors, connectivity and continuous updates throughout their lifecycle. As a result, manufacturers need production environments that can adapt quickly to product changes, validate software-intensive systems and maintain end-to-end traceability.</p>
<p>AI, digital twins and advanced analytics play a key role in supporting this transition. They enable manufacturers to simulate production scenarios, monitor quality in real time, and accelerate decision-making across engineering and plant operations.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, we believe that the <em>convergence of AI, industrial digital twins and explainable decision-support systems will be fundamental for the next generation of Software-defined Vehicle manufacturing</em>.</p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Or, as we put it to AutoRevista:</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In our view, the future lies in increasing integration between the physical and digital worlds, with AI acting as the backbone of the entire value chain&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6767" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Trends-Automotive-AI-4-300x204.webp" alt="AI in automotive Mosaic Factor" width="300" height="204" /></p>
<div>
<h2>AI in automotive manufacturing requires more than automation</h2>
<p>The automotive industry is <strong>moving beyond isolated AI pilots</strong> and <strong>toward data-driven operations where predictive maintenance</strong>, <strong>digital twins, energy optimisation, and explainable AI work together</strong> to <strong>improve productivity and resilience</strong>.</p>
<p>For automotive OEMs and suppliers, <em>the challenge is no longer whether to adopt AI but where to generate value first and how to scale solutions safely and transparently</em>.</p>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, <strong>we help industrial organisations deploy trustworthy AI</strong>, <strong>machine learning</strong>, <strong>digital twin</strong>, and <strong>explainable AI solutions</strong> that <strong>deliver measurable impact</strong> while <strong>keeping people at the center of decision-making</strong>. As automotive manufacturing evolves toward the Software-Defined Vehicle era, <strong>trusted and explainable industrial AI will become a critical competitive differentiator</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Artificial intelligence is increasingly supporting healthcare organisations in areas such as diagnostics, medical imaging, patient monitoring, risk prediction, treatment optimisation, and operational planning. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in clinical workflows, healthcare providers face a common challenge: <strong>ensuring that AI systems are</strong> not only accurate, but also <strong>understandable</strong>, <strong>reliable</strong>, and <strong>usable in real-world healthcare environments</strong>.</p>
<h2>Recording</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><em>If you couldn’t join this second session</em> of our Explainable AI webinar series to explore how <strong>healthcare organisations </strong>can<strong> develop AI solutions that clinicians trust, decision makers understand and governance and regulatory stakeholders can confidently evaluate</strong>, you can now watch the recording:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Mosaic Factor XAI series &quot;Explainable AI for Healthcare&quot;." width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BMjBkdS3n64?feature=oembed"  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h2><strong>Bridging the Gap Between AI Models and Clinical Trust</strong></h2>
<p>In the <em><strong>second session of our Explainable AI (XAI) webinar series </strong></em>(you can <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/webinar-series-explainable-ai-for-decision-makers/">rewatch the first session, XAI for decision makers here</a>), we will explore how XAI can help bridge the gap between technical model performance and practical clinical adoption.</p>
<p>This session focuses on <strong>how to design and communicate AI explanations that support healthcare professionals in understanding, validating</strong>, and appropriately using AI-powered insights.</p>
<p>These capabilities are also increasingly relevant to regulatory readiness in Europe, as <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/key-aspects-of-the-european-ai-act/">the EU AI Act places requirements relating to transparency, output interpretation, and effective human oversight on certain high-risk healthcare AI systems</a>. While this is not a regulatory session, the webinar will briefly explore how practical, clinician-centred approaches to XAI can support these expectations.</p>
<p><strong>How can clinicians trust an AI recommendation if they do not understand how it was reached? </strong>The reality is that technical accuracy alone rarely drives adoption in healthcare. Even highly performant models may remain unused if healthcare professionals cannot assess the reasoning behind predictions, understand the contributing factors, or determine when an output should be challenged.</p>
<h2><span data-contrast="auto">Why Explainable AI matters in Healthcare</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p>Healthcare decisions directly affect patient outcomes. As a result, clinicians must be able to evaluate and understand the recommendations provided by AI systems before incorporating them into their workflows.</p>
<p>One of the most common barriers to AI adoption in healthcare is not model performance, but <strong>lack of trust</strong>.</p>
<p>Questions frequently raised by clinicians include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Why was this patient classified as high risk?</li>
<li>Which factors contributed most to this prediction?</li>
<li>Can this recommendation be clinically justified?</li>
<li>Does the explanation align with established medical knowledge?</li>
<li>When should the model&#8217;s output be challenged or reviewed?</li>
</ul>
<p>Without meaningful explanations, AI systems can be perceived as black boxes that are difficult to validate in real-world clinical settings.</p>
<p>Explainable AI helps address these concerns by making model reasoning more transparent, allowing clinicians to better understand predictions and integrate AI insights into their decision-making process.</p>
<p>Healthcare organisations are increasingly looking beyond model accuracy when evaluating AI solutions. To create meaningful value in clinical settings, AI systems must also be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Transparent enough for practitioners to understand the factors behind predictions and recommendations</li>
<li>Reliable and robust across diverse patient populations and clinical scenarios</li>
<li>Aligned with clinical reasoning and established healthcare practices</li>
<li>Capable of supporting collaboration between data scientists, healthcare professionals, and decision makers</li>
<li>Trusted by end users who are ultimately responsible for patient care</li>
</ul>
<p>While lack of trust is often cited as a barrier to AI adoption, it is rarely the only challenge. Effective AI deployment also requires clear communication, interpretability, and a shared understanding of model behaviour across both technical and clinical teams.</p>
<p>Explainable AI provides the tools and methodologies needed to address these challenges and transform AI from a technical output into a practical decision-support capability.</p>
<h3>Making Explainability understandable to clinicians</h3>
<p>Producing explanations is only the first step.</p>
<p>Many XAI techniques generate outputs that are meaningful to data scientists but difficult for healthcare professionals to interpret within the context of patient care. For AI to become truly useful in healthcare, explanations must be translated into forms that align with clinical thinking and decision-making processes.</p>
<p>This session will explore <strong>how do we translate AI explanations into clinically meaningful insights?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>What clinicians actually need from AI explanations</li>
<li>How different healthcare stakeholders interpret model outputs</li>
<li>Techniques for presenting model reasoning in clinically meaningful ways</li>
<li>How XAI can strengthen collaboration between healthcare experts and AI development teams</li>
</ul>
<p>The objective is not simply to explain the model, but to ensure that explanations support informed clinical judgement. Many organizations successfully implement sophisticated XAI techniques, yet the resulting visualizations, metrics, and technical outputs are often designed for data scientists rather than healthcare professionals.</p>
<p>Participants will learn how to move from technical explanations to explanations that support clinical judgment and decision-making.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the <strong><a href="https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/high-level-summary/">AI Act</a></strong>, <strong>European Parliament’s priority is to make sure that AI systems used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory, and environmentally friendly</strong>. The <strong>European AI Act</strong> classifies AI according to its risk:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Unacceptable risk is prohibited</strong>. Therefore, the following types of models should not be used:
<ol>
<li>a. <strong>Subliminal, manipulative, or deceptive AI</strong></li>
<li>b. <strong>Systems that exploit vulnerabilities</strong> related to age, disability, or socio-economic circumstances to distort behaviour, causing significant harm.</li>
<li>c. <strong>Biometric categorisation systems</strong> inferring sensitive attributes (race, political opinions, trade union membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, or sexual orientation), except labelling or filtering of lawfully acquired biometric datasets or when law enforcement categorises biometric data.</li>
<li>d. <strong>Social scoring systems.</strong></li>
<li>e. <strong>Systems assessing risk of an individual committing criminal offenses.</strong></li>
<li>f. <strong>Compiling facial recognition databases</strong> from the internet or CCTV footage.</li>
<li>g.<strong> Inferring emotions</strong> in workplaces or educational institutions.</li>
<li>h. <strong>‘Real-time’ remote biometric identification (RBI)</strong> in publicly accessible spaces for law enforcement.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>High-risk AI systems:</strong> they are regulated, and the AI Act focuses mostly on these.</li>
<li><strong>Limited risk AI systems:</strong> they are subject to lighter transparency obligations. This means, developers and deployers should make sure that end-users are aware that they are interacting with AI (thus making it clear that there is an AI model behind chatbots and deepfakes).</li>
<li><strong>Minimal risk AI models are unregulated:</strong> these include most AI applications that were available on the EU single market at the moment of starting AI Act in 2021. For instance, AI-enabled video games and spam filters.</li>
</ol>
<p>Clearly, this scenario is changing with generative AI, which raises the level of risk of AI models, making them mostly high-risk. Even if now AI regulations are advancing, we think AI systems should be overseen by people, rather than by automation, to prevent harmful outcomes. <strong>This includes making sure we are able to generate trustworthy AI systems that are fair by design and are explainable and clear to decision makers.</strong> Legislation will clearly not fast-track adoption of responsible AI but organisations are the ones who need to share experiences and solutions to show what “good practice&#8221; looks like. <strong>Boards need to embrace Corporate Digital Responsibility to assess digital impacts of products/services on all stakeholders by examining societal, economic, technological &amp; environmental impacts.</strong> Therefore, we are supporting companies in their role to ensure the technology is not deployed in “negative use cases” that could harm society and generating AI models that are transparent and accountable across industries.</p>
<div>
<h2>AI explainability is becoming a regulatory requirement, not just a governance best practice</h2>
<p>While <a href="https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/13/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transparency has always been a key principle of trustworthy AI</a>, the European AI Act significantly strengthens the need for explainability across the AI lifecycle. <a href="https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/article/50/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">For high-risk AI systems, providers must ensure sufficient transparency</a> so that deployers can understand, interpret, and appropriately use system outputs. This includes providing documentation on system capabilities, limitations, expected performance, risk scenarios, and, where applicable, information that helps explain how outcomes are generated.</p>
<p>The AI Act also links explainability to human oversight requirements. Human decision-makers must be able to effectively monitor AI systems, challenge outputs when necessary, and intervene to prevent harmful outcomes. In practice, this means <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/webinar-series-explainable-ai-for-decision-makers/">organisations will increasingly need explainability techniques</a>, model documentation, audit trails, and monitoring tools that make AI decisions understandable to both technical and business stakeholders.</p>
<p>Beyond high-risk applications, new transparency obligations for generative AI systems require users to be informed when interacting with AI and when content has been generated or manipulated by AI. As these requirements take effect, organisations will need stronger governance frameworks that demonstrate not only compliance, but also that AI systems can be trusted, interpreted, and held accountable. Here you can see the <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/guidelines-transparency-obligations-providers-and-deployers-ai-systems" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guidelines from the European Commission on transparency obligations for providers and deployers of AI systems</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<h3>The AI Act&#8217;s implementation is increasing the demand for AI explainability</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://ai-act-service-desk.ec.europa.eu/en/ai-act/timeline/timeline-implementation-eu-ai-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI Act has now moved from legislation to implementation</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>2 February 2025</strong>: prohibitions on unacceptable-risk AI and AI literacy obligations became applicable.</li>
<li><strong>2 August 2025</strong>: obligations for providers of General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models came into force.</li>
<li><strong>2 August 2026</strong>: transparency obligations and enforcement powers for important parts of the Act started applying.</li>
</ul>
<p>This means, in essence:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Transparency obligations are now coming into force</strong>, making explainability more than an ethical aspiration.</li>
<li><strong>Human oversight requirements depend on understanding AI outputs and limitations</strong>, increasing demand for explainable systems.</li>
<li><strong>The GPAI Code of Practice and related guidance emphasize documentation and transparency</strong>, accelerating adoption of governance and explainability tools.</li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ten years ago, AI looked very different. Back in 2016, artificial intelligence was already powerful, but quieter. It lived mostly behind the scenes in predictive models, recommendation engines, and carefully engineered algorithms solving very specific problems. It was not something people talked about every day. It was not something everyone interacted with. That is <em>the world Mosaic Factor was born into</em>.</p>
<p>Today, <strong>AI is everywhere</strong>. It writes, creates, converses, and imagines. Terms like <strong>generative AI</strong> and <strong>large language models</strong> have entered everyday conversations, reshaping how we think about technology and its role in our lives.</p>
<p>As we <strong>celebrate our 10th anniversary</strong>, we are not just marking time. We are <strong>reflecting on how far AI has come </strong>and how we have grown alongside it.</p>
<h2><strong>The beginning</strong></h2>
<p>Mosaic Factor started with a simple but ambitious idea: to <strong>turn advanced AI into something practical, usable, and impactful</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Founded in 2016 by Stefano Persi</strong> (CEO) and <strong>José Fernandez</strong> (CTO), the company emerged from hands-on work in innovation projects. They saw an opportunity not just to build algorithms, but to help organisations truly use them.</p>
<p>In those early days, the focus was on &#8220;<strong>traditional AI</strong>&#8220;: predictive models, optimisation systems, and data‑driven decision tools. The challenge was not just accuracy. It was making these systems reliable, scalable, and understandable in real‑world environments. Which still is, to be fair.</p>
<p>From the very beginning, Mosaic Factor took a different approach: not just building AI, but <em>building AI that is explainable and trustworthy</em>.</p>
<h2><strong>A decade of change in AI</strong></h2>
<p>Over the past ten years, the field of AI has gone through a transformation few could have predicted:</p>
<ol>
<li>We have moved <strong>from structured data and classic machine learning</strong> to systems that can generate text, images, analysis, and ideas.</li>
<li>From models that answered questions to<strong> models that hold conversations</strong>.</li>
<li>From tools once used by specialists to <strong>platforms used by millions</strong>.</li>
<li>The <strong>rise of generative AI and large language models</strong> has brought extraordinary possibilities, alongside new questions. <em>How do we trust these systems</em>? <em>How do we use them responsibly</em>?</li>
</ol>
<p>Through all this, Mosaic Factor has remained present across both worlds. We have <strong>worked with traditional AI</strong>, where precision, interpretability, and robustness are essential. And we have <strong>embraced modern AI</strong>, where creativity, adaptability, and scale redefine what is possible.</p>
<p>One thing has never changed: <strong>our commitment to building AI that is explainable, trustworthy, and grounded in real impact</strong>. Because as AI becomes more powerful, trust matters more than ever.</p>
<h2><strong>The people behind the journey</strong></h2>
<p>At the heart of our 10‑year journey is something simple: <strong>people</strong>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6220" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Learn-Lunch-MosaicFactor-XAI-Automotive-300x169.webp" alt="Mosaic Factor learn and lunch" width="300" height="169" />  <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6217" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/MosaicFactor-XAI-workshop-300x153.webp" alt="Mosaic Factor workshops" width="336" height="171" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6214" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/MosaicFactor-designthinking-explinableAI-LLMs-300x156.webp" alt="Mosaic Factor workshops" width="330" height="172" />  <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6229" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/LearnAndLunch-SDV-MosaicFactor-2-300x169.webp" alt="" width="306" height="172" /></p>

<blockquote><p>“Technology evolves fast, but trust must move even faster. Our commitment to <strong>transparent, explainable AI</strong> has guided us from day one, and it will continue to shape how we build the next generation of intelligent systems”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Chief Data Scientist, Burcu Kolbay:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Over the past decade, data has become central to how we understand problems and make decisions. It’s been inspiring to see curiosity, data‑driven thinking, and advances in AI shape how we work every day. As these technologies evolve, our role is to guide them so <strong>intelligence serves people in meaningful and reliable ways</strong> and I’m excited for what comes next”.</p></blockquote>
<p>Innovation Project Manager, Montserrat Anglès:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Innovation is not just about adopting new technologies. It is about using them responsibly to improve people&#8217;s lives, protect our environment, and contribute to a more sustainable future for all living beings. At Mosaic Factor, we have <strong>spent a decade transforming innovative ideas into practical solutions, working across borders and disciplines to create meaningful impact</strong>. That commitment to collaboration, sustainability, and positive change continues to drive us forward.”.</p></blockquote>
<p>A special thank you goes to our team members and everyone who has contributed to our story. This milestone belongs to all of you. We are equally grateful to our clients, partners, and community who have supported us every step of the way. You have shaped who we are, and who we aspire to become.</p>

<h2><strong>Looking ahead</strong></h2>
<p>If the last decade has taught us anything, it is that <strong>change is constant, but purpose matters</strong>.<br />
AI will continue to evolve, becoming faster, more capable, and more deeply embedded in everyday life. The challenge will not just be what we can build, but how we choose to build it.<br />
At Mosaic Factor, our goal is clear:</p>
<ol>
<li>To design AI systems people can trust, understand, and rely on.</li>
<li>To bridge innovation with responsibility.</li>
<li>To grow into one of Europe’s leading AI and Big Data companies while staying true to the impact we want to create.</li>
</ol>
<p>The story of AI is still being written. And we are proud to be part of it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-contrast="auto">Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming every industry, from automotive and healthcare to manufacturing and energy. <strong>AI models are increasingly embedded in critical decision‑making</strong> <strong>processes</strong>, influencing operational efficiency, product performance, and strategic direction. </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">As AI systems become more powerful and complex, one fundamental question moves to the forefront:</span> <em>How can we trust AI models enough to rely on them for real business and engineering decisions?</em></p>
<p><span data-ccp-props="{}">To launch our new <strong>Explainable AI (XAI) webinar series</strong>, we are pleased to introduce a <strong>cross‑industry online masterclass</strong> that lays the <strong>foundations for turning AI models into understandable</strong>, <strong>reliable</strong>, and <strong>trusted tools</strong>, both by technical teams and by decision makers.</span></p>
<h2>Recording</h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><em>If you couldn&#8217;t join this first session</em> of our Explainable AI webinar series to <strong>ensure your AI solutions</strong> <strong>are</strong> not only powerful but also <strong>understandable</strong>, <strong>reliable</strong>, and <strong>trusted</strong> by those who use them to make decisions, you can now watch the recording:</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Webinar XAI series: Explainable AI for decision makers" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UEleunqh2_k?feature=oembed"  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h2><span data-contrast="auto">Why Explainable AI matters across industries</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h2>
<p>High‑performing AI models are no longer sufficient on their own. Across industries, organisations are facing similar challenges:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complex models that deliver predictions but not understanding.</li>
<li>Difficulty explaining results to non‑technical stakeholders.</li>
<li>Limited visibility into model behavior, assumptions, and limitations.</li>
<li>Low trust in AI outputs when decisions carry operational or strategic risk.</li>
</ul>
<p>Explainable AI provides the tools and frameworks to bridge these gaps. When applied correctly, XAI helps organisations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Understand why a model behaves the way it does.</li>
<li>Improve model robustness during development and iteration.</li>
<li>Detect hidden issues, biases, or data dependencies early.</li>
<li>Communicate AI insights clearly to product owners, managers, and executives.</li>
<li>Build shared trust between data teams and decision makers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Explainability</strong> is, therefore, not just a technical feature, it <em><strong>is a critical enabler of reliable AI adoption at scale</strong></em>.</p>
<h3>The First Session in a Webinar Series</h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">This session opens a broader <strong>webinar series on Explainable AI</strong>. While future editions will explore industry‑specific applications, this first masterclass takes a cross‑industry perspective, focusing on the decision makers and common principles that apply regardless of sector.</span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The objective is to establish a shared language and mindset around XAI that aligns technical development with business decision‑making. </span></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">What you will learn</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">By the end of this session, participants will understand how to move beyond accuracy alone and <em>design AI systems that are</em>:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-contrast="auto"><strong>Transparent</strong>: their behavior can be understood and inspected.</span></li>
<li><strong>Explainable</strong>: predictions can be justified in human‑interpretable terms and traced in a way that models can be accountable.</li>
<li><strong>Trustworthy</strong>: results can be confidently used in real‑world decisions.</li>
</ul>
<p>During the session, we will cover:</p>
<ol>
<li>Why Explainable AI Matters to Decision Makers</li>
<li>Explainable AI Foundations, without the Technical overhead</li>
<li>Where Explainable AI creates Business Value</li>
<li>Explainability across AI approaches</li>
<li>Operationalizing XAI in the organisation</li>
<li>Communicating AI Decisions with confidence</li>
<li>Case‑driven walkthrough: Mosaic Factor XAI Workflow</li>
</ol>
<p>The focus remains firmly on practical decision‑making and model reliability, not abstract theory.<br />
At the end of the session, o<span data-ccp-props="{}">ur <em><strong>Chief Data Scientist</strong>, Burcu Kolbay, will host a <strong>live Q&amp;A</strong></em>.</span></p>
<h3><span data-contrast="auto">Who should attend</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">This masterclass is designed for professionals working (or willing to work) with AI across industries, including:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li>Decision makers who rely on AI outputs (C-level)</li>

<p>In our pitch, we focused on a core idea that drives our work at Mosaic Factor: <strong>AI should not only perform well in controlled environments</strong>, it needs to <strong>work reliably in real-world conditions</strong> where constraints are unavoidable.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6274" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/MosaicFactor-BSC-AIfactory-1-300x169.webp" alt="" width="350" height="188" /></p>
<h3>The problem we are solving</h3>
<p>Across industries such as automotive and manufacturing, <strong>AI failures can lead to serious consequences</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>safety risks,</li>
<li>financial losses,</li>
<li>and privacy issues.</li>
</ul>
<p>These everyday risks are just as relevant in healthcare. By focusing on reliability and practical solutions, our approach is designed to help organizations navigate these challenges and <strong>deliver trustworthy AI solutions</strong>.</p>
<h3>From Cloud to Real Environments</h3>
<p>A big part of our work focuses on <strong>closing the gap between AI in the cloud and AI in production environments</strong>. In many cases, AI models are developed in powerful cloud environments but need to run in places where resources are limited such as: vehicles, embedded systems, or microchips. In these environments, compute power and energy usage are constrained, but performance still needs to remain high.</p>
<p>We focus on optimising AI systems so they can operate efficiently under these conditions without losing reliability.</p>
<h3>How We Work</h3>
<p>At Mosaic Factor, we both create <strong>AI solutions to solve specific client problems and enhance existing AI systems to ensure they perform reliably</strong>. This dual approach lets us move quickly into new sectors like healthcare, where understanding the challenge and maintaining dependable performance are equally critical.</p>
<h2><strong>Looking ahead</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Joining the AI Factory programme</strong> is an <strong>important step in our move into healthcare</strong>. Through this programme, we aim to connect with partners, explore real use cases, and better understand the specific challenges of the sector.</p>
<p>Our goal is to apply what we have learned in other industries to build AI solutions that a practical, reliable, and ready for real-world healthcare environments. Presenting at the event was our first step in that direction.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="TextRun SCXW28313395 BCX0" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW28313395 BCX0">As part of the</span></span> <a href="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/project/green-log/">Green-log</a> <span data-contrast="auto">innovation project, Mosaic Factor developed </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">BYOD (Bring Your Own Device):</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> a smart mobile application designed to empower couriers with </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">real-time connectivity, operational visibility, and seamless parcel management</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> using their own devices.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The BYOD app transforms everyday courier operations into a fully connected, </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">data-driven workflow</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">. From parcel validation to proof of delivery and disruption reporting, every action is securely recorded and transmitted to the central platform, ensuring logistics providers remain fully informed.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="GREEN-LOG Final Project Video | Smarter, Cleaner Urban Logistics Across Europe" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k9UuXGM6BO8?feature=oembed"  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">When a courier logs in, the application automatically adapts to the configuration of the specific </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">Living Lab deployment</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">. The available features and workflows depend on the operational model of each environment. The BYOD app is designed to support </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">different city deployments with tailored configurations</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> without requiring changes to the core application.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In the </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">Athens Living Lab</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, for example, couriers can operate through either </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">Parcels or Stops</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> within the main menu. This flexibility allows the same application to support multiple logistics scenarios without altering the core system.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<h3><strong>Parcel function</strong></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In the </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">Parcel function</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, couriers add parcels by scanning </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">QR codes</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> or by manually entering parcel IDs. For greater efficiency, multiple parcels can be selected at once by scanning </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">code sets</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> or entering a set ID for </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">batch processing.</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Once validated, parcels appear in the </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">current working list</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, confirming that they are correctly linked to the courier. They remain visible until delivery completion or manual removal or once the delivery is confirmed in the system. A </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">refresh option</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> allows the courier to retrieve the most up-to-date parcel information at any time. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Selecting a parcel provides access to essential delivery data, including its identification number, status, delivery address, expected delivery date, weight, service type, and associated round. During the delivery process, couriers can </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">register events and update parcel quality</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> directly within the app.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">For proof of delivery, a single parcel is selected, and the receiver signs directly on the device. The signature is </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">securely recorded and immediately reported</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, ensuring reliable confirmation of delivery and traceability.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6163" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GLBYOD_Parcel-300x169.webp" alt="Greenlog BYOD" width="300" height="169" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6166" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GLBYOD_Parcel_List-300x168.webp" alt="Greenlog BYOD" width="300" height="168" /></p>
<h3><strong>Stop function</strong></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Through the main menu, couriers can switch to the </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">Stop function</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, which provides a structured overview of planned stops and related parcel information grouped by delivery location. Stops can be visualised on an </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">interactive map</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, offering clear route visibility and improved situational awareness through real-time geolocation. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Selecting a stop reveals the parcels assigned to that location, allowing couriers to </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">manage grouped deliveries efficiently.</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> If a disruption occurs, the courier can report it directly within the app by selecting the </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">disruption type</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, adding comments, and automatically sharing their position. This </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">real-time communication</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> supports immediate operational adjustments and proactive issue management. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6160" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GLBYOD_Stop-300x169.webp" alt="Greenlog BYOD" width="300" height="169" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6154" src="https://www.mosaicfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GLBYOD_Stop_Map-300x169.webp" alt="Greenlog BYOD" width="300" height="169" /></p>
<h3><strong>BYOD impact</strong></h3>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">The Green-Log BYOD tool ensures that every action, </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">from parcel validation</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> to </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">signature capture</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> and </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">disruption reporting</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, is securely transmitted to logistics operators. This continuous flow of information enhances:</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">Transparency</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">Improves coordination</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li>
<li><span data-contrast="auto">Supports data-driven decision-making</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">By combining </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">flexibility, live operational visibility, and secure reporting</span></b><span data-contrast="auto">, BYOD strengthens </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">last-mile delivery efficiency</span></b><span data-contrast="auto"> while contributing to more </span><b><span data-contrast="auto">sustainable and optimised urban logistics operations </span></b><span data-contrast="auto">across different city environments.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
