The Hessian Center for
Artificial Intelligence
Driving research excellence, education, practice and leadership in AI to foster economic growth and improve the human condition.
About
hessian.AI – the Hessian Centre for Artificial Intelligence pursues the goal of conducting excellent basic research with concrete practical relevance and also to promote transfer to industry and society. The centre, in which 13 Hessian universities are involved, bundles the expertise of 22 AI scientists and expands it through 22 new professorships.
Based on cutting-edge research as conducted at the TU Darmstadt and other Hessian universities, significant contributions are made to the research and development of novel AI systems with human-like thinking and communication capabilities, which are classified as belonging to the so-called “Third Wave of AI”.
AI Innovationlab
Primary goal of hessian.AI’s Innovationlab is the promotion of development and production of state-of-the-art AI technology. For this purpose, we are offering the use of a modern technical infrastructure in the form of a HPC (High-Performance-Computing)-Cluster which is able to perform the execution of demanding machine/deep learning models in connection with huge datasets (Big Data). Furthermore, we can assist with AI-related consulting services, e.g. with regard to developing and implementing these kind of models.

Reasonable Artificial Intelligence
Over the last decade, deep learning (DL) has led to groundbreaking progress in artificial intelligence, but current DL-based AI systems are unreasonable in many ways: (1) They are developed and deployed in unreasonable ways, requiring unreasonably large models, data, computations, and infrastructure, ultimately giving a monopoly to a few big companies with the necessary resources; (2) they cannot reason or easily handle unfamiliar situations and nuanced context, and also lack reasonable common sense and abstraction capabilities; (3) they neither continuously improve over time, nor do they learn through interactions or can quickly adapt – they need frequent retraining, leading to unreasonable economic and environmental costs.
AI Startup Rising
AI Startup Rising is a project of the Hessian Centre for Artificial Intelligence (hessian.AI) and the universities involved in the centre: TU Darmstadt (TUDa), University of Kassel (UK) and Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) with special reference to the respective startup centres or startup supporting departments. With AI Startup Rising, a start-up and scaling platform for high- and deep-AI start-ups from science is being created in Hesse. The common goal of the partners is to build an internationally visible AI innovation ecosystem that understands the region’s top AI research as a source of sustainably successful high- and deep-tech startups, produces successful startups and acts as a point of attraction for talent, investors and companies.
