AI at a glance: New publication series of Plattform Lernende Systeme

The basis for AI systems is training with data – often also personal information. The method of distributed Machine Learning can improve data protection in the development of AI applications, but it can also create new points of attack for cybercriminals. A concise overview of the potential and risks of distributed Machine Learning is provided in the first issue of AI at a Glance.re self-learning systems are developed and used in Germany.

 

Artificial Intelligence in Germany

Our detailled map of Artificial Intelligence shows where self-learning systems are developed and used in Germany.

 

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology that ensures the future viability of our economy and society. It supports sustainable development, safe mobility and personalized medicine. In order for the potential of artificial intelligence to benefit people in everyday life and the world of work, we must make its use trustworthy. Plattform Lernende Systeme, through its high-level members, is identifying areas for action in this regard.

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology with great innovation potential. That is why we want to make Germany a leading location for AI. However, the enormous opportunities are also accompanied by challenges. That is why we have created the Plattform Lernende Systeme as a central place for exchange on all aspects of AI. Here, players from very different fields come together to advance AI for the benefit of people. It is a particular concern of mine to promote this exchange.

More equal opportunities: How AI fosters an inclusive working world

Artificial Intelligence (AI) supports employees in the workplace. AI technologies can enable people with disabilities to perform new activities and allow them to participate in working life in a more self-determined and equal manner. However, the opportunities offered by the technology can only be exploited if the right framework conditions are in place in the world of work: These include (digitally) accessible workplaces, a corporate culture that promotes diversity, and consideration of people with impairments as early as the research and development stage. A current white paper from Plattform Lernende Systeme illustrates the potential of AI for an inclusive working world using concrete practical examples and shows ways in which AI-supported participation can succeed.
