Artificial Intelligence - Research in Bavaria

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology that has revolutionized our lives in many aspects. In Bavaria, researchers strive to deepen their understanding of AI, develop new applications and use it as a tool to generate and manage knowledge in their field. Follow Bavaria taking on a pioneering role in AI research!

AI and the "Hightech Agenda"

Advancing the Technology of the Future

Artificial intelligence stands at the heart of Bavaria’s ambitious technology investment plan Hightech Agenda Bavaria. The state invests 360 million euros and establishes 100 new AI research chairs. Specialized centers are being set up at universities throughout Bavaria:

Intelligent Robotics (Munich)
Artificial Intelligence and Health (Erlangen)
Data Science (Wuerzburg)
Mobility (Ingolstadt)

Other cutting edge research topics in the Humanities, Economy and Law, in Science and Engineering will be covered by university collaborations.
