The country has already invested 140 million euros in the successful cyber Valley-Weg. "Finally this Tuesday a double-digit million amount to ensure the joint financing of the AI competence center by the federal and state governments. Together with the Federal Government and Cyber Valley, we have now created the" Ai Breakthroough Hub ", an excellent concept for the promotion of AI in this country. I am also glad that the Hector Foundation will promote top-Ki scientists in cyber Valley with an amount of up to 100 million euros. ""

New AI ecosystem with international attraction

The project "Ai Breakthrough Hub" financed by the federal government, countries and private individuals should concentrate on it ai-Center tübingen AI competence center for machine learning. At its meeting on November 13, 2020, the Joint Science Conference by the BUND and countries (GWK) Artificial intelligence (AI), including the AI center in Tübingen. Building on this, the new AI ecosystem with international attraction will consist of a number of other measures to strengthen the strengths that will significantly increase the attractiveness for international talents and the economic effects. This includes a scholarship program, the expansion of computing power, a coding school for programming training, a start-up venture laboratory and the expansion of the interface between AI and medicine.

In addition to the Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and also Prime Minister Kretschmann took part in the virtual presentation, including Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek , Exekutive President of the EU Commission and Commission Competition Margrethe Vestager noreferrer "Target =" _ blank "href =" https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/service/pressemitteigung/pid/praesentation-des-kiekosystems-ai--------hub/de/regierung/mitlinger-der-landes-landesi-bauer/ " Class = "Internal-Link"> Theresia Bauer , State Secretary and the director of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schölkopf part. Chancellor Merkel took part in a virtual tour of the Cyber Valley in September together with Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann and thus gave the starting signal for the now decided, even closer collaboration

another two billion euros for artificial intelligence

"The Federal Government will continue to support AI research and its transfer to the application," said Chancellor Merkel. "We recently decided to update the AI strategy and provided another two billion euros for AI as part of the future package. Both should work together as a catalyst: For the most modern computer infrastructures, attractive conditions for top talents and future-oriented AI ecosystems." "

cornerstones to promote artificial intelligence in Europe

"The connection of the industrial basis with top research in the field of artificial intelligence is the best way to intensify the cooperation what this new Ai Breakthrough Hub is," said the Executive President of the EU Commission Vestager. "Our European approach is based on our values - and this new hub will be a cornerstone for the further development of artificial intelligence in Europe."

"In just a few years, cyber Valley has succeeded in attracting the best international AI talents and networking with the most important AI research locations in the world," said Minister Bauer. "With a great joint effort, we can now achieve the breakthrough and bring Cyber Valley to the worldwide top league and hold there. Because we want to make quick progress with the development of a European AI." "

The beginning of a new era

"We have been building something new with outstanding colleagues for four years. We have founded Cyber Valley, a regional AI ecosystem with international attraction. Then we have become part of the Federal Government's AI strategy-and in the past two years we wanted to become an engine of the European AI," says the director of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schölkopf. "The official start of the first 30 Ellis research facilities in September, including Tübingen, was a milestone on the way to ensure that Europe can compete with the AI hotspots in the world, especially the USA and China. With the establishment of the new" Ai Breakthrough Hub ", the federal and state governments now give the starting signal for a new era. I personally consider it privilege that we can develop our top performance together in research and innovation in order to advance Baden-Württemberg, Germany and Europe. ""
