KCIST online Lecture Series on AI

The KCIST online Lecture Series on AI started in July 2020 with the aim of promoting dialog and exchange between researchers at KIT on AI research and its application in different domains. Each event consists of one to three short presentations on a specific topic, followed by a discussion to which every participant can actively contribute. The KIT internal event with participation from professors, postdocs, PhD students and students.

Making AI Manageable By Engineers

Reliable and Safe AI Systems for Engineers Are Lacking – Competence Center Now Offers Support for Companies

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be found in smartphones, search machines, or navigation systems. It makes everyday life easier. Potential applications of AI in the engineering sector are numerous, examples being smart factories or autonomous vehicles. However, processes to make the behavior of these systems plannable and their decisions reproducible are still lacking. This will be changed by the “Kompetenzzentrum für KI-Engineering” (CC-KING, competence center for AI engineering) managed by the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB). The partners are Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the FZI Research Center for Information Technology.
