Intelligence: can it be transferred from humans to machines? People are fascinated by this idea since centuries. We are going to approach the fascination of Artificial intelligence (AI) and try to get deeper into this subject.
Every week, from now on, you’ll find an article here on AI development and its applications like Autonomous driving. Our aim is to provide a not too superficial, but elucidating introduction to these topics that is understandable for all.

You may create our AI story with us: just let us know which aspect of AI we should shed light on. We’ll take your suggestions and investigate on them. Meanwhile, you directly implement your AI ideas utilizing the world’s most powerful computers on omtec.de.
