Osnabrück is making significant strides in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), primarily through the efforts of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). This center is at the forefront of integrating AI into various sectors, highlighting both the potential and the pitfalls of this burgeoning technology.
The world of football is increasingly embracing technology, with artificial intelligence (AI) now being used to predict outcomes in leagues around the globe. For the city of Osnabrück, this technological advancement holds particular significance as VfL Osnabrück finds itself embroiled in a battle for survival in Germany's 3rd Liga. According to a recent NDR analysis, AI has forecasted the season's final standings, putting Osnabrück in a precarious position.
The city of Osnabrück is set to become a pivotal hub for artificial intelligence (AI) innovation with the launch of the Center of Research and development of trustworthy AI applications (CRAI). This project is part of a national initiative to support mid-sized companies through AI advancements, funded with €8.3 million by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Building and Digitalization (MWNI).
