Artificial Intelligence Network Ingolstadt gGmbH

The Artificial Intelligence Network Ingolstadt gGmbH (AININ) was founded at the Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt beginning of April 2019. Seven partners from science, business and community have joined AININ to research cutting-edge topics in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

AININ aims to transfer the generated research results into socially relevant products and production methods and subsequently into the establishment of new companies. In addition, fundamental research also investigates the social effects of AI technologies and makes them available to the public as part of transfer activities.

Research Areas

 

AININ deals with research questions on the use of AI in four areas: trade, health, production and mobility. The various perspectives from science, business and society that come together in the process are intended to promote creative and interdisciplinary approaches and make AI solutions from one subject area quickly transferable to other areas.

Transfer & Network

AININ is part of a Bavarian network of various AI activities carried out in Amberg-Weiden, Augsburg, Bayreuth, Erlangen, Ingolstadt, Munich and Würzburg. The aim of this close cooperation is to combine newly established research capabilities with existing institutions and competencies and to link AI research at universities and non-university research institutions into a successful competence network on a long-term and sustainable basis.
