Wiesbaden/Darmstadt (dpa/lhe) - The Hessian center for artificial intelligence (AI) "hessian.AI" is to become one of four nationwide AI service centers - and can therefore count on additional funding of around 17 million euros. This money from the federal government will strengthen Hesse as a location for AI research, said Science Minister Angela Dorn (Greens) on Wednesday in Wiesbaden.

The AI ​​service centers are selected by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. They are intended to strengthen the European AI network through the long-term operation of computing infrastructures and services based on them. The cross-university Hessian center "hessian.AI" has its headquarters at the Technical University of Darmstadt. AI stands for "Artificial Intelligence".
