Welcome to the
AI Competence Center
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly gained importance in all industries by being implemented in production processes or as direct applications worldwide. With the AI Competence Center we want to leverage Germany’s – and Europe’s – potential as global opinion leaders by considering both purposeful support for businesses using AI technology as well as challenges and risks on a societal and individual level.
To achieve this, we work closely with and connect the regional model projects of Germany, assemble experts and support in the AI field as well as building bridges between science, business and the public for a well-balanced, informed understanding of Artificial Intelligence.
We believe in Artificial Intelligence as an innovation-driving technology that can benefit all of us and acknowledges regulations as well as human rights – let’s work together to shape this future.
Part of the AI Competence Center is the annual AI Beyond Borders Awards, that highlights and awards companies with the most innovative business model using AI. Get on the pre-registration list now to be informed in advance when the next application phase for 2023 starts.
