SAFE-6G, or “A Smart and Adaptive Framework for Enhancing Trust in 6G Networks,” is a European research initiative under the Horizon Europe program. It aims to establish a trustworthiness framework for 6G networks, leveraging AI and machine learning to ensure safety, security, privacy, resilience, and reliability. This user-centric approach reimagines 6G as a system tailored to individual needs, moving beyond traditional one-size-fits-all models. SAFE-6G’s strategic principles focus on human-centric design, zero-trust security, and cognitive coordination. The project emphasizes balancing privacy with quality of service, ensuring that 6G networks are both efficient and secure. It also integrates explainable AI to enhance transparency and trust in decision-making processes. The consortium behind SAFE-6G includes a diverse group of partners from academia, industry, and research institutions across Europe. These collaborators bring expertise in telecommunications, AI, and cybersecurity to achieve the project’s ambitious goals. The University of West Attica (UNIWA) plays a crucial role in the SAFE-6G project by providing the user-centric Reliability function and developing models for anomaly detection in metaverse services.
