What are the promising technologies in artificial intelligence (AI)? How is AI changing our daily lives? We summarize research results, trends, and current applications for you – all the way from machine learning to start-up innovations.
AI has become increasingly important in recent years, especially for SMEs, because it can increase or secure the competitiveness of companies, make processes more efficient and reduce costs enormously. Security gaps can be detected and prevented with artificial intelligence.
For example, our start-up KONUX has significantly improved the safety and longevity of rail traffic with its intelligent predictive maintenance system in the railroad sector.
Our appliedAI initiative aims to lift Germany into the AI age and accompanies and advises companies on this path - in a practice-oriented manner, with profound expertise and a comprehensive educational offering. Whether AI newcomers or experts: appliedAI's Academy offers courses for all needs, which we regularly present here on our focus topics. In addition, the team regularly compiles AI start-up maps to highlight current developments in Germany.
Definition of "Artificial Intelligence": Artificial Intelligence (AI) describes systems and applications of machines that are trained and not programmed, and thus come close to the performance capability of human intelligence. In doing so, Artificial Intelligence solves problems in our real human world that require intuition and judgment. Essential to problem recognition are language and visual perception. Traditional computer systems, on the other hand, are based on calculation, while systems with artificial intelligence in the sense of machine learning are based on learning ability.
