ongoing projects
The German Artificial Intelligence Competition encourages students with strengths in mathematics, computer science or physics to develop creative solutions to the challenges of the future. The foundation supports this project as the main sponsor.
The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence (ZAKI) at Ernst Abbe University connects actors from science, business and society. The aim is to advance artificial intelligence in these areas and, above all, to put it into practice.
The pilot programme is intended to test new concepts for recruiting staff at universities of applied sciences. The special feature: the two Endowed Professors are employed in the company parallel to their university work.
An interdisciplinary team at the University of Tübingen is exploring principles for the safe use of AI systems in healthcare and developing guidelines for their certification.
The endowed professorship funded by the project is held by Prof. Dr Gerard Pons-Moll. He conducts research on the development of sustainable and robust intelligent systems that can react adaptively to new situations and continue to learn.
Prof. Dr. Maximilian Coblenz, Professor of Information Systems at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences, is researching the link between copulas, a tool used in statistics, and machine learning.
The first transregional centre for quantum photonics at the universities of Jena, Stuttgart and Ulm offers around 50 scientists a cross-disciplinary and cross-location platform for research and exchange.
Prof. Dr. Claudia Hildebrandt has held the professorship for computer science and its didactics at Heidelberg University of Applied Sciences since June 1, 2022. In addition to researching the performance characteristics of students, she is also concerned with the influence of further education measures.
Artificial intelligence and law are interdependent. At the interdisciplinary CZS Institute for AI and Law, lawyers and computer scientists are conducting joint research.
The CZS junior research group at the ELLIS Unit Jena uses artificial intelligence (AI) to address questions in the environmental sciences, e.g. in climate or ecosystem research. This is important, for example, to better explain climate extremes and their effects in the Earth system.
