Common AI research: Saxony and Bavaria set new standards

joint efforts for AI research in Saxony and Bavaria

The university cooperation between Bavaria and Saxony can be seen as a significant step to further increase innovative strength in artificial intelligence (AI). While more and more areas of life are combined with this technology, the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (LMU), the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden) are laying the foundation for future developments through its joint research project Gain.

important partnership for technological sovereignty

With financial support of € 3 million from both Free states, the project aims to establish the region as a pioneer in the field of central computing technologies. This is not only important for universities, but could also have a decisive impact on the entire society. Saxony and Bavaria could create a technology platform through this research that not only influences internal but also international markets.

challenges in AI development

A central concern of the project partners is to improve the existing hardware platforms. However, scientists from the participating universities warn that the current technology is not sufficient to cope with the increasing requirements in various areas of application. The challenges relate to energy consumption, predictability, reliability and legal requirements. These factors could significantly inhibit progress in areas such as robotics, medicine and communication. The researchers emphasize that the creation of more powerful and energy -efficient hardware as well as innovative software solutions is essential to meet future requirements.

technological progress is required

The rapid progress in the AI sector in recent years illustrates how strongly the performance of the hardware influences the success of the applications. "We now have to create the basics so that we are prepared for the challenges of the future," explains Bavarian Minister of Science Markus Blume (CSU).

The Gain project as a groundbreaking initiative

The Gain research project, which is designed for a term of three years, is not only regarded as a scientific achievement, but also as a strategic step towards securing the technological position in Germany. "With Gain we would like to position Saxony and Bavaria as an international leader. This makes a significant contribution to Germany's technological sovereignty," adds Saxony's Minister of Science Sebastian Gemkow (CDU).
