The EXAMPLE project is funded by the Italian Ministry of Research under the PRIN 2022 call with three research units involved: the University of Turin (Prof. Luigi Di Caro), the University of Milan (La Statale) (Prof. Giovanni Livraga) and the University of Milano-Bicocca (Prof. Marco Viviani).

The EXAMPLE Project stems from observing recent dynamics in considering the protection of users’ data and privacy, and users’ access to potential misinformation, through EU regulations and guidelines. A key aspect is the balance between the rights to confidentiality, autonomous decision-making, free access to information, and freedom of expression. To do this, the Project aims at:

• Define explainable knowledge-based solutions enabling users to: (i) specify and have enforced protection requirements over their personal/sensitive data and (ii) assess the risk of personal/sensitive information disclosure associated with the released data;
• Define knowledge-based and explainable solutions enabling users to: (i) access genuine content in an environment of free access to information and freedom of expression, and (ii) be informed of how the process of assessing the genuineness of information has unfolded;
• Investigate the relationship between the release of personal/sensitive data and access to potential misinformation, both before and after the adoption of the proposed solutions
