Department of Computer Science successful with RAI and TAM

A major success for Technical University of Darmstadt: two of its research projects will receive funding as Clusters of Excellence. The Excellence Commission in the competition for the prestigious Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments selected the proposals ‘Reasonable Artificial Intelligence’ (RAI) and ‘The Adaptive Mind’ (TAM) from the fields of artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences for funding. The commission consisted of an interdisciplinary panel of experts and the federal and state ministers responsible for science. A total of 98 projects were submitted to the German Research Foundation, 70 of which will now be able to call themselves ‘Clusters of Excellence’.

Projekt „Reasonable Artificial Intelligence“ erhält Förderung als Exzellenzcluster

Eine neue Generation von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI), die auf „vernünftigere“ Art lernen kann – daran forschen Wissenschaftler:innen des neuen Exzellenzclusters „Reasonable Artificial Intelligence“ (RAI) unter Leitung der TU Darmstadt. Das Projekt wurde in einem mehrstufigen Wettbewerb im Rahmen der renommierten Exzellenzstrategie des Bundes und der Länder ausgewählt.
