ECETOC-VHP4Safety-ONTOX: Application of Digital Infrastructures Leveraging AI in Human Health Risk Assessment

28-29 October 2025, Brussels.

ECETOC, VHP4Safety and ONTOX organised a hands-on sessions giving participants the opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge digital tools, assess their applicability, and discuss how these technologies can build trust and enhance decision-making in regulatory and research contexts.

The workshop aimed to:

• Explore how to build trust and confidence in AI tools used in toxicological risk assessment.
• Define what level of transparency and clarity is needed to make AI decision-making understandable.
• Discuss validation methods for AI tools for different uses.
• Examine the interoperability of different digital infrastructures, such as the platforms OPRA and VHP4Safety, and their alignment with other ongoing initiatives.
• Address ethical concerns related to using AI in health and safety assessments.
• Collect multi-stakeholders' insights (regulators, scientists, and industry) on needs, expectations, and experiences.
• Foster dialogue on how AI models can be made understandable, scientifically robust and practically useful.
