Tubingen AI Center

The Tubingen AI Center, a joint partnership between the University of Tubingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of machine intelligence. Our mission is twofold: to develop robust learning systems that can match the effectiveness of biological systems and to ensure the societal benefits of AI. Machine learning is spearheading a technological and societal revolution, yet todays learning systems exhibit important shortcomings such as their lack of robustness, their limited generalization to novel situations, their struggle to learn continuously from few examples, and their inability to infer causal relationships. More robust AI systems promise tremendous benefits for society. Not only will they significantly cut the costs and limitations of machine intelligence, but they are also a crucial prerequisite for enabling causal explanations and ensuring transparency in machine-led decisions. Situated within the European Labora...
