AbstractIn the European-Taiwanese project Horizon AAL (HAAL), a dashboard is being developed that can act as a decision-aid for caregivers of community-dwelling people with dementia (PwD). In the dashboard, which is driven by artificial intelligence (AI), the data from a number of interoperable AAL (Active and Assisted Living) solutions are gathered and analysed in order to provide insights and predictions about the health and well-being of the PwD. In addition, the dashboard may provide recommendations that help caregivers to assess the care and support needs of their clients. The increasing advancements of AI-technologies such as the HAAL AI-driven dashboard come with benefits such as faster, more accurate, and more efficient data-analysis and the augmentation of human decision-making (Hassani et al., 2020), but also with challenges from a social and ethical perspective, e.g. related to privacy, transparency, human control and trust. In this line, it is broadly acknowledged that the proper embedding of healthcare technologies driven by AI requires innovators and other stakeholders to actively anticipate and reflect on, and be responsive to promises and risks and to societal values, needs and expectations (Morley et al., 2019; Tsamados et al., 2021; WHO, 2021). In the ongoing HAAL study, it is therefore explored what decisions and actions can be taken in the design of the dashboard and its cross-cultural implementation in order to account for the needs and values of end-users, and to achieve responsible innovation (RI) that is socially desirable, ethically acceptable and sustainable (Von Schomberg, 2013).Keywords: artificial intelligence, responsible innovation, ethics, dementia care, cross-cultural collaboration
