Helmholtz AI - cooperative AI research

Logo der Helmholtz AI Cooperation Unit

AI, and machine learning (ML) in particular, is also playing an increasingly central role in research. This is reflected in the evaluation of growing volumes of data, in the monitoring of processes or as a decision-making aid in the design process of new experiments. This is why the Helmholtz Association launched the Helmholtz Artificial Intelligence Platform Helmholtz AI two years ago as a research project of the Helmholtz Incubator Information & Data Science. The overarching mission of the platform is the "democratization of AI for a data-driven future" and aims to make AI algorithms and approaches available to as broad a user group as possible in an easy-to-use and resource-saving manner.

The Helmholtz AI Local Units

The Helmholtz AI platform is structured according to a wheel-spoke model that covers the six research fields of the Helmholtz Association. In recent years, five so-called Local Units have been implemented at various Helmholtz centers. The KIT is responsible for energy research with its local unit. Within this framework, the SCC supports researchers with an advisory unit in the implementation of AI research projects in the exploration of new approaches to energy generation, distribution and storage. The local units each consist of a Helmholtz junior research group and an AI consultant team, which in turn supports other research groups with its AI expertise.

Helmholtz AI Consulting at KIT

At the SCC, the Helmholtz AI Local Energy Consulting team supports project ideas of researchers from the Helmholtz Association who require AI methods and expertise for their research and developments. More information about the Helmholtz AI Consulting service.

Projects

All projects are described on the page of the Helmholtz AI Consulting team of the KIT.
