Reasonable Artificial Intelligence

The researchers in the new Cluster of Excellence “Reasonable Artificial Intelligence” (RAI) , which is headed by TU Darmstadt with participation by hessian.AI, are carrying out research into a new generation of artificial intelligence that can learn in “more reasonable” ways. The project was selected for funding in a multi-stage competition within the Excellence Strategy from the German federal and state governments. This coveted funding once again acknowledges the outstanding research and long-standing expertise in the field of artificial intelligence for which TU Darmstadt has been renowned for many years.
Although deep learning (DL) has enabled important advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) over the last ten years, current AI systems have displayed some significant weaknesses, such as an inability to reason, difficulty handling new situations and a need for continuous adjustments. Last but not least, current AI systems also require substantial resources. Therefore, the new Reasonable Artificial Intelligence (RAI) Cluster of Excellence aims to develop the next generation of reasonable AI.
